Powerful Budgets
Talking about budgets with clients can feel uncomfortable—but avoiding the money conversation is costing you. If you’re bending over backward to fit unrealistic budgets or underpricing your services just to land a job, it’s time to change your approach.
In this episode of Interior Design Business, I’m diving into why most clients have no idea what their project actually costs and why it’s your job to educate them. I’ll share how to confidently lead budget conversations, stop shrinking your pricing to fit client expectations, and ensure you’re getting paid properly for your expertise.
We’ll also uncover the biggest pricing mistakes designers make, how your own “money story” might be holding you back, and the exact steps to help clients set realistic budgets—without fear, guilt, or pushback.
