As an interior designer, establishing an effective pricing structure for your business can pose a significant challenge. Finding the perfect equilibrium between the time and effort invested in each client's project, along with recognizing the value of your talent and skill, is no small task. How can you ensure that your fees accurately reflect the worth of your services, avoiding the possibility of leaving money on the table? How do you make more money in 2024?  Join the conversation as we explore the advantages and disadvantages of various industry pricing models, including markup, hourly rates, retainers, flat fees, and more. We'll delve into these questions and address many others.
