Interior Design Estimate Template

Clients often budget for an interior designer's fee and forget the furnishings, or the other way around. This template estimates both: design services by phase, and a furnishings budget for each room with the purchasing fee, so the client sees the whole investment before they commit.

  • Design services
  • Furnishings budget
  • Online approval by your client
Free, no account needed to start. Not legal advice.

Use it after an initial consultation, when a client wants to know what designing and furnishing their rooms will cost.

Frequently asked questions

Should an interior design estimate include furniture?

It should include a furnishings budget, even before anything is chosen. It sets expectations early and guides the selections. Items are then priced one by one for approval during design.

How do I estimate a furnishings budget?

Start from the rooms, the pieces each needs, and the quality level the client wants, using recent projects as a guide. Present it as a range or a budget, and say that final prices come with the selections.

Is this interior design estimate template free?

Yes. Read and copy the full text on this page, or edit it online and see it as your client will. When it's ready, start a free Clientary trial to send it or download it as a PDF.

Has a lawyer reviewed this template?

No. It's a general starting point written by Clientary, not legal advice, and it hasn't been reviewed by a lawyer for your situation or the laws where you and your client work. Have your own counsel review it before you use or sign it.
