WHAT TO EXPECT SERIES: How much does an Interior Designer Cost?
WHAT TO EXPECT SERIES:
We receive a lot of what I think of as ‘foundational’ questions about our work—what we do and who we do it for, as well as the costs and process. Because of that, we’ve put together our ‘What to Expect Series’ to hopefully answer some of those very common questions. And help you better understand what working with the Bella Vie team will be like. ‘How Much Does an Interior Designer Cost’ is the second in the series.
HOW MUCH DOES AN INTERIOR DESIGNER COST?
You’re considering whether to hire an interior designer for your next renovation or building project. One of the first questions you might ask yourself is, ‘How much does an interior designer cost?’
Of course it’s an essential part of the process for any current or aspiring homeowner to do their due diligence. You’ll want to estimate the total costs of your project before proceeding. This is the point at which the dollar signs might feel overwhelming. And you might wonder where you could cut costs.
So, is an interior designer worth it? Before we look at the various pricing packages on offer, let’s first consider the intrinsic value of working with Bella Vie Interiors.
VALUE TO THE CLIENT
In order to evaluate the true cost of an interior designer, we need to take a holistic approach. You’ll want to consider not only the fee structures, but also the value you will receive in return. Our clients know that paying for a qualified, experienced interior designer is certainly worth the long-term gains.
Consider this: you need a new pair of shoes. There is an assortment of price brackets to choose from. Or even the option of winging it with what you’ve got. If you only consider price and opt for the cheapest price tag, the quality may suffer. And you may find yourself spending more in the long run as you’re forced to buy replacements. But when you consider the highest price tag, you wonder whether the cost will be worth it.
Value is an exceptionally important factor to consider for all your purchases. But it’s particularly important when it comes to a home you hope to live in for many years (or sell for a tidy profit).
Imagine living in a home that is the perfect fit for you and your family—where life flows and the space feels ‘just right’. Or having a visually stunning space that grabs potential buyers by the heartstrings the moment they step inside. It’s hard to put a price on these immeasurable benefits. But we believe we have struck a happy balance.

And of course we want you to love your space. That’s why we’re available via phone, email or online meetings.

You’ll receive excellent customer care and value for money, whether your services are face-to-face or virtual.
IN-HOME DESIGN CONSULTATION
Cost: $660
A Design Consultation is the launching pad for every new project with Bella Vie Interiors. During this meeting we’ll discuss the scope of work, your goals for the space and your budget. And we’ll finish with a clear understanding of your project requirements. We’ll cover off on all priorities and challenges, solve what we can on the spot and map out your next steps.
Every project starts with a documented Design Consultation, but they’re also an excellent stand-alone resource for those running their own projects. Ask us all the tough design questions you’ve been deliberating over.
