How to Write an Interior Design Quote
What to Include in an Interior Design Quote
Clients need clarity on hourly versus flat fees, procurement markup, and what happens if items are backordered.
Line Items and Pricing
Separate creative fees from pass-through product costs. Show travel or install days as their own lines when you bill them.
Tools and Licensing
Note liability for jobsite access, white-glove delivery, and return policies on custom orders.
Scope of Work
Define number of revisions, rooms covered, and whether construction drawings are included.
Timeline
Phases for concept, ordering, and install should align with vendor lead times.
Tips for Winning More Interior Design Work
- Offer a discovery package before a full-home commitment.
- Show two finish levels to anchor budget conversations.
- Explain procurement math once so the quote is easy to defend.
- Attach a mini mood board when you send pricing.
- Follow up after contractor bids change scope.
Converting Your Quote to an Invoice
Retainers, procurement invoices, and final install fees map cleanly from structured line items.
Quote vs. Estimate
Homeowners may ask for a quote on a room package or an estimate before they know square footage. Both phrases appear in search. Early estimating sets expectations; the signed quote reflects approved concepts. Keep quoting language aligned across Houzz, email, and contracts.
