This section explains our interior design fees. At the end of the page, you’ll find a useful download summarizing these details for future reference.
Stage 1: consultation
The initial consultation is free.
Stage 2: design
Our design fee starts at £750+VAT for a reception room or bedroom design. Kitchens and bathrooms start at £1150+VAT. The actual price depends on the project’s complexity and location. We offer significant discounts for whole house designs.
The price for Stage 2 includes the new floorplan (with 3D visuals), electrical overlay, and initial proposals for fixtures, fittings, furnishing and finishes. It also includes a technical specification and budgetary estimate for the work.
Stage 3: project management
We now offer 3 levels of project management to suit the needs of our clients. They are detailed in the next section. The first is a full service; the second covers general support for clients managing their own project; the third is for clients who wish to take on the project management role themselves, but require a friendly voice on the phone for advice and support.
- Our full project management service carries a fee of 10-15% of the total implementation price. For this, we visit site several times a week, oversee work, arrange and inspect delivery of supplied items, and provide advice and support as required.
- Our second level of service works out at £150 + VAT per week for one site visit per week to check progress and plan the following week’s activities. For a typical 4 month project, where the client is project managing themselves, that would amount to £2400 + VAT.
- Our third level of service is based on a minimum retainer of £75 + VAT per week which covers 1 hour’s support for clients managing the project themselves. For a typical 4 month project that would amount to £1200 + VAT.
For project management options 2 and 3, any time over the examples stated would be charged at £75 + VAT per hour.
Cost of home refurbishment
As a guide, our clients spend between £8000 and £20000 on a reception room or bedroom, between £12000 and £25000 on a bathroom and £15000 to £60000 on a kitchen.
Whole house refurbishments are typically between £125000 – £275000. For a flat or apartment this would be around £60000 – £125000. Figures are dependent on the number of rooms, extent of works and choice of fixtures and fittings.
