Find an interior designer

Space planning, finishes, furniture layout and managing a fit-out from drawing to done.

Also called home styling, space planning, fit out or decor.

Interior design on Help24 spans advice and execution. Some posts want a plan and a shopping list; others want somebody to take a bare apartment and hand it back finished.

Say which, and say your budget honestly. A designer's first real job is to make the budget and the wish list meet, and they cannot do that if the budget is a secret.

For a fit-out, be clear about who is managing the fundis. A designer who draws and a designer who runs the site are two different engagements with two different prices.

Writing the request

What to include so the offers come back usable

  • Which rooms, and their rough dimensions
  • Photos of the space as it is now
  • Your budget range for the whole project
  • Whether you want design only, or design and management
  • What must stay — furniture you are keeping, or a fitting you cannot change

What moves the price

Why two quotes for the same job differ

  • Design only against design and project management
  • Number of rooms and the level of finish
  • Whether furniture and materials are procured through the designer
  • Whether drawings are needed for fundis to work from
  • How long the site management runs

Help24 does not publish price ranges for interior design. Quotes come from the interior designers themselves, and the number you agree is the number the payment is held against.

Before work starts

What to check with an interior designer

  • Establish whether the fee is fixed, a percentage, or hourly, and what it covers
  • Agree whether any supplier commission comes back to you or the designer
  • Ask to see completed projects, photographed on handover
  • Agree who is responsible when a fundi's work has to be redone
