Interior Design Guide
Build an interior design business around a verified real advantage instead of a templated flyer — then scope, budget, and price each job before procurement begins. This 17-page guide walks through testing regional demand before you spend a dollar, separating design advice from contracting and procurement, and pricing by consultation, package, or day rate — plus seven working templates to run it with.

What It Covers
Verify the specific background behind the offer before building a business around it, then test regional demand by calling active design studios to learn how booked they already are. Confirm licensing, insurance, and local practice rules, then scope every job by separating design advice from procurement, contracting, and build work, with exclusions and approvals documented before selections begin. Price by tier — a flat consultation fee for a single room, a flat-rate or per-room package for a full unit, and a percentage or day rate for multi-unit or commercial work — set only after deliverables, revisions, and risk are defined. Land a first project specifically to build your portfolio with written photo permission, then track qualified leads, proposals, and paid projects to see whether the positioning actually generates business.
