Fees By the sq ft? Hourly?

In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m breaking down the pros and cons of each method, and revealing why design fees are the real workhorse of your business. You’ll learn how to handle scope creep, price add-ons properly, and present fees that align with how builders and clients think—without giving away your time or undercharging.
This episode is packed with practical advice to help you price confidently and get paid what you’re worth.
In this episode, I cover:

- When it is okay to bill hourly, and how to do it right
