Typical cost for Interior Design Support?
Comments (4)I've paid $50/hour. I have hired one designer who hired the trades and ordered the materials often from places that were just open to designers. She then charged a percentage of those costs as her fee....See MoreBest cost structure for interior designer on custom home
Comments (7)Our interior designer also has a retail shop and can order from an array of manufacturers. The prices on items we have ordered from her only appear to have the typical retail mark-up (not an additional mark-up) and in one instance she passed along a discount. For design services other than furniture selections ordered from her, the rate is $110 an hour, but she is conservative on her hours. I appreciate the fact that she is aware that we have a budget and keeps that in mind -- she is good at advising us where something more costly is worth it the bang for the buck and and where we can get by with less expensive items....See MoreCompetitive Bidding on Design Services

Comments (14)Thanks for the feedback all! To those who love those old details- you are MORE than welcome to our blue tub and tile and remnant pieces of God knows what for the vanity : ) NO THANK YOU. For our Master bath, we're thinking demo the tiny neoangle shower, replace the pan, and build up a pony wall on one side so we can still have the vanity there. The other side can either be a pony wall as well, like in the picture, or full glass, next to the toilet. I think the glass walls (and taking out the moisture-trapping almost enclosed top) will help to open the space. We've thought of pocket doors, but any of the walls that have space for it have electric, so that's a no go. That's about all we can come up with (aside from new tile on the floor, new toilet, decorative kind of things) for the master to be improved. For the guest bath, replace the tile and tub with white or similar, and build a nice double vanity and maybe a linen tower at the edge or in between, since it's such a long stretch of space (74" I think). Remove the painting above the toilet and beautify that area. And for the colors/walls/theme- yellow, gray and white. That's the best we've got, and I'm not sure that will visually open up the space a huge amount (excepting the frameless glass shower in the master, I'm sure that will), but it will brighten and beautify. Thoughts?...See Moreartistsharonva
