About the template
What this interior designer quote template covers and why clients commit
Interior design quotes lose work when the engagement is one number. The template below shows the concept and mood-boarding phase, the technical drawings, sourcing and procurement, on-site project management, and the procurement fee or trade-discount markup model.
Procurement margin is the SEO-critical conversation. Stating the model upfront (flat fee, percentage markup, or trade-discount-shared) removes future arguments and wins trust.

Avoid these
Common mistakes on interior designers quotes
The patterns that quietly lose jobs, get queried at payment time, or leave money on the table.
Mistake: Single 'design fee' line
Better: Itemise concept, drawings, sourcing, management. Clients see the phase structure and commit.
Mistake: Procurement model unclear
Better: State flat fee, percentage markup, or trade-discount-shared. Major source of post-project disputes.
Mistake: Revisions uncapped
Better: State '2 revision rounds per phase'. Without a cap, scope creep destroys margin.
Mistake: Site visits silent
Better: State 'X site visits included, additional at $ Y'. Common late-project surprise.
Mistake: No IP ownership clause
Better: State 'design ownership transfers on full payment; designer retains portfolio rights'. Removes disputes.
Mistake: No deposit clause
Better: 30-50% on acceptance covers concept and drawings. Without it, projects stall after concept.
