What to include in a interior design quote
A interior design quote tells the client what you’ll do, what it costs and what’s not included, before they commit. Interior designers combine a design fee (fixed or hourly) with procurement, either at a disclosed mark-up or at trade price plus a fee.
- Scope summary: the outcome and deliverables, in a sentence or two.
- Price breakdown: each item with quantity, rate and amount, so the client can see what drives the total.
- Exclusions: what isn’t included, such as building work by contractors.
- Assumptions: what the price depends on, such as the client supplying inputs on time.
- Terms: validity date, deposit and payment schedule.
- Acceptance: how the client says yes.
