How much does an interior designer cost?
The world, works, and creation of interior design is very vast. Interior Designers can sometimes only have a business model that focuses on certain types of projects, such as residential projects, hotels, or hospitals. Depending on the type of project, the project's size and scope of work will very much alter the average cost to an interior designer.
Not the answer you are looking for, I know, but without reaching out to an interior designer to talk about your project, an average price can range from $50 to $90,000. Do not lose hope; google what type of interior designer you are looking for based on the project. For example, if it is a restaurant project, look for a "restaurant interior designer." Looking for an interior designer with experience in your type of project is vital because their skillset and knowledge to execute the project's requirements (code and research related) can differ. For example, a restaurant project is not the same as a residential project - in regulations, timelines, or way of designing. Once you have your list, interview a few and see who matches your vision. Based on your conversation, they would be more than happy to give you an interior design cost estimate.
