Why Interior Designers Should Absolutely Charge for an Initial Design Consult

As interior designers, we pour our heart and soul into every project – so why not get paid for it right from the start? Charging for your initial design consultation isn’t just smart business; it’s a total game-changer!

You Bring Serious Value – Own It!

Your expertise is worth its weight in gold. That first meeting isn’t just a friendly chat; it’s where you start diving deep into your client’s vision and figuring out how to make their dream space a reality. By charging for this, you’re showing clients that your knowledge and experience are valuable – and trust me, they’ll respect you more for it!

Attract Clients Who Are Ready to Commit

Let’s be real: time-wasters are the worst. When you charge for your consult, you instantly weed out the tire kickers and attract clients who are serious about working with you. These are the clients you want – the ones who value what you bring to the table and are ready to get started.

Protect Your Time (and Sanity)

Running a design business is hectic enough. You don’t have time to offer endless free advice that leads nowhere. Charging for your consult ensures you’re getting paid for your time, helping you run a smoother, more profitable business.

Feel Empowered and Confident

Charging for that first consult gives you a huge confidence boost! Knowing that clients are willing to pay for your insights from the get-go puts you in a position of authority – and you’ll walk into that first meeting feeling like the total boss that you are.
