The Interior Design Hourly Rate Agreement

 $497

The Professional Contract That Protects Your Time, Your Revenue, and Your Boundaries

If you bill hourly, this agreement isn't optional.

It's your protection, your clarity, and your calm when money conversations come up.

Too many designers only start looking for a better contract after a client questions an invoice or suddenly "forgets" what hourly actually means.

We're skipping that part.

This Hourly Rate Interior Design Agreement was created specifically for interior designers who want to run their business professionally, set clear expectations with clients, and confidently charge for the value they provide.

Protect Your Time Before Problems Begin

This agreement clearly defines how you work, how you bill, and what clients can expect before the project even begins.

You'll be able to confidently say:

✓  This is how my hourly rate works

✓  This is what counts as billable time

✓  This is how and when invoices are sent

✓  This is what's included and what's not

✓  This is what happens if scope changes

When expectations are clear, projects run smoother and clients respect your process.

A Note From John

I've been running my design firm for more than 15 years, and one thing I've learned is this:

 

Strong boundaries create better projects.

After more than 15 years of running my design firm, I've learned that the most successful projects start long before the design work begins.

They begin with clear expectations, professional communication, and agreements that define how the relationship works.

A strong contract doesn't just protect you. It establishes boundaries, reduces misunderstandings, and helps clients understand exactly what to expect.

When everyone understands the process, projects run smoother, decisions happen faster, and you can focus on what you do best: designing beautiful spaces.

This is the same type of agreement structure I've relied on in my own business, now simplified, explained, and ready for you to use.
