The cost of working with an interior decorator really depends on what you're looking to achieve.
Some clients simply need a little guidance with colours, furniture or finishes, while others want someone to take care of the entire vision, from the initial concept through to furniture sourcing and final styling.
At Sammi Interiors, I offer a range of services depending on the size and scope of your project.
Interior Decorating Consultation — $400 per hour + GST
Perfect if you're looking for professional advice on furniture layouts, paint colours, flooring, lighting, window furnishings or finishes. Sometimes a fresh perspective is all you need to feel confident moving forward.
Ongoing Design Consulting — $400 per hour + GST (minimum three hours)
For clients who need a little more support along the way. This can include shopping appointments, site visits, furniture selections and helping bring different elements of a project together.
Single-Room Design Packages — From $2,000 + GST
For those wanting a complete vision for a particular room. Depending on the scope, this may include mood boards, furniture layouts, colour palettes, product selections and an itemised shopping list.
Whole-Home Decorating Packages — From $10,000 + GST
For larger projects where we're bringing multiple spaces together. From furniture and finishes to lighting, window furnishings, artwork and styling, the aim is to create a cohesive home that still has personality.
All prices are subject to confirmation of the project scope. Furniture, products, delivery and installation are quoted separately unless included in your proposal.
What Are You Actually Paying For?
I think there's a misconception that working with an interior decorator is simply about choosing beautiful furniture.
And while that's certainly one of my favourite parts, there's so much more that goes into it.
It's understanding proportion, knowing how colours and materials work together, sourcing the right pieces and making sure every selection contributes to the overall feeling of your home.
I live and breathe design, and I love bringing all those details together.
My approach is relaxed, personal and down to earth, but the service is considered and high-end from beginning to end.
Because creating a beautiful home should be exciting, not overwhelming.
