Fee Schedule

Homeowners are often unclear about how to work with a decorator or interior designer. This Fee Schedule should answer some of your questions:

Retail based fees
Decorating Den Interiors franchise owners purchase products directly from manufacturers. We select and purchase custom products specifically for your design. Our compensation is derived from the difference between the suggested retail prices established by the manufacturer and the cost of their goods.

Each decorating project we undertake is based on a budget that is agreed on before the design process starts. This way you always know how much you are spending. Whether we are designing a single room or the whole home, we will work with you on a realistic budget.

If you are building or renovating a home
If you are considering building a new home or renovating an existing home, we can work with you to help you make the numerous choices that are involved with a new build and a renovation. You are normally given one day to view your options, then one day to make final choices for your new home by the contractor. This can be quite daunting. Before things are locked in by your builder let us be there at your side as a sounding board to help you with your choices. At an hourly rate we will guide you with:

•  choosing cabinetry for kitchen and bathrooms
• discussing the benefits of quartz or granite countertops
• helping with choices for tile, faucets, and lighting
• assist with flooring choices
• help with paint choices

Paint consultations
House painters seldom want the responsibility of choosing paint colors with you. If you need help choosing colors for your home we will come to your home with paint kits. We will discuss what you are trying to achieve and help you achieve a coordinated color palette for interior or exterior paint. This project will be charged at an hourly rate with a minimum of one hour. A travel allowance may be charged for longer distances and will be discussed at the time.
