Some clients sometimes ask, “How do Interior Designers charge for their services?” 

 

This is an excellent question that comes up due to the lack of information given by the industry, media and design publications. We often see beautiful homes reveal on television or magazines but without  explanations on the behind the scenes detailed procedures interior designers provided and their compensations. Some clients maybe unfamiliar that successful interior design projects have undergone the following series of rigorous design processes:

 

Programming:

 

• What is the scope and expected outcome of the project?

• What is the schedule and budget?

• Is there a need for specialized consultants?

 

Space Planning and Preliminary Layouts:

 

• Area assignment for each room and function.

• Space allocations are developed.

• Study the relationships among the sizes of the area in relation to other adjacent space.

 

Schematic and Design Development:

 

• Preliminary floor plans are developed.

• Traffic circulation patterns within and between the spaces are analyzed.

• Furniture, fixture, accessories, and etc. are selected.

• Refine colors and finishes.

 

Construction Documentation:

 

• Architect or Engineer approves any construction work if necessary.

• Drawings are studied by both interior designer & contractor before work is done.

 

 

Danny Veneracion Design believes that beautiful interiors should not be made complicated or costly for clients to undertake. Because of this mission statement, Danny Veneracion Design implements simple hourly fee structures to cater to every client's needs:

 

Hourly Fee:

This is one of the most common designer fee structures which the "Do It Yourself" clients love. Clients are in charge on how much they would like to accomplish with their design projects. Danny Veneracion Design will make sure that projects are handled quickly & completely to create the clients' design goals. Detailed dates & services performed will be itemized on the design service invoice for time spent designing, planning, drawing, shopping, coordinating a project, etc. All these will be reflected on client's contract.

 

Hourly online and phone design consulting are the perfect solution for clients who maybe requiring additional design advise and direction for their post design projects or for clients who may be too far logistically to consult. Danny Veneracion Design will address and answer each client's questions & concerns as quickly as possible to provide an impeccable finished design.
