In this episode, Jane Ledger starts to unpack the question all interior design clients want to know: how much is an interior designer going to charge me? You’ll learn more about:

• Two of the main methods of charging - flat fees and hourly rate
• How a designer assesses a flat fee, including scope of work, size and scale of your project and level of skill and time involved
• How long it can take to complete elements of a project; often longer than you think! Designers are managing many moving parts behind the scenes that clients often don’t see
• The difference between hourly and fixed fees 
• How Jane phases her flat fees: Phase 1 design fee for conceptualisation, design, documentation and presentation to you. Phase 2 fees for procurement and implementation
• How flat fees are dealt with in a reno vs furnishings project vs new build
• How Jane manages her trade discounts with clients

In this episode, Jane Ledger outlines the key elements you’re buying from an interior designer. She discusses how interior design is a professional service not a hobby, and how hiring an interior designer leads you to the final outcome of your finished space, renovation or new home. Jane takes us through both the tangible and intangible skills you’re purchasing:

• Creativity - spatial planning, visualisation and conceptualising
• Expertise and experience - specialist knowledge and experience gained over years working on projects
• Decision-making - an interior designer’s super power to narrow down choices
• Fully designed, drawn and documented plans - floorplans, elevations and 3d modelling
• Process - an organised series of steps to get you to the finished outcome
• Implementation - the hardest part! Seeing your vision and the plans into a built form
