Flat Fee Structure – What Sets Us Apart
Interior design association studies show that almost 80% of clients prefer a flat fee…yet less than 10% of designers offer one.
The one question clients don’t like to ask is, “What will this cost?”
Yes, this is some clients’ #1 concern. Would you feel more confident in your project if you knew what the investment would be before we started?
Amy Wolff Interiors does not invoice by the hour for most projects. We will provide an all-inclusive, flat fee based on your individual project requirements.
How does this work?
We start with an initial phone conversation – discussing your goals, dreams, wants, and needs. We will meet in person to further assess your project if we agree to proceed. It is very important to establish an investment level that is comfortable for you as early as possible so that we can establish a plan that works best for your situation.
This unique flat fee system saves time and adds value to your project: you don’t have to be concerned about the hourly meter running, and we don’t have to devote much time to paperwork. You know what “things” will cost, and we both know how I will be compensated.
Purchasing Furnishings
Amy doesn’t typically “sell” retail furniture, tile, carpet, lighting, or other readily available home furnishings. You may purchase items from anyone you choose – or use Amy’s recommended vendors. All components of your project will be specified in the design proposal – our compensation is based upon how much or how little service you choose. Amy doesn’t generally take her clients out “shopping.” If there are items that require you to visit a showroom or store for final selection, we will do that in a manner that respects your time.
Custom Furnishings
When fully custom items such as window treatments, upholstered furniture, light fixtures, or other custom items are requested, Amy also provides an all-inclusive fee that includes the design, materials, and delivery.
Sample Fees
Every project is as different as every person – each with unique characteristics and features. These are strictly sample fees based on previous projects. Every project is quoted in advance to your specific situation.
Single In-home Consultation
This can be for any project you may have in mind. One area? Whole house? Paint color selections? We typically have a phone discussion about your needs, visit your home for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, help develop a plan for you to follow, and include a follow-up call or email. $850 - $1250.
Combo-Consultations
This is for clients who need help with multiple rooms/items. We will determine the amount of time required based on your specific needs. We can serve as your Designer or your “Design Coach” (for those who enjoy sourcing products themselves).
- Full Day - $2,500
- Time Blocks of 10, 20, or more hours are often recommended, depending on your project requirements.
Custom Window Treatments, Furniture, and Lighting
Custom quotes are required. We are happy to provide a ballpark estimate before any commitment on your part. This also helps us to respect your investment comfort level and recommend suitable solutions.
We also offer Flat Fees for the following projects. Since the scope of these projects varies widely, custom design time quotes are required.
- Home Furnishings Recommendations/Floor Plans
- Kitchen/Master Bath Remodel Material Selections
- New Construction Material Selections
