Pricing
Moving into a new home or changing your current living space is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. Many people consider hiring an interior designer, but hesitate. Will it be too expensive? Will the designer truly understand my style and vision? We understand those concerns.
Because every project is unique, the total costs end up being tailored to your specific needs and goals. Factors that influence the cost include the complexity of your project, the scope of our involvement, and the level of detail required. To get an understanding of the industry standard, see this article from Angie’s List: How much does it cost to hire an interior designer? Most designers use a structure with a flat package rate, retainer, or commission based model. We work on an hourly rate and have found it’s the most cost effective way for our clients in order to tailor our services to your specific needs and maximize your budget.
We believe in transparent hourly pricing, which is why we’re upfront about our current rate of $120 per hour. This reflects our commitment to providing high-quality design at a competitive price. While some designers in New Mexico may charge up to $500 per hour, we believe our experience and expertise deliver exceptional value. We keep a record of the time we spend together and/or the time we spend on your behalf including, but not limited to:
