If you’ve ever thought about hiring an interior designer for your home, the first question that likely comes to mind is, “How much is this going to cost me?” Finding clear answers can sometimes feel overwhelming, but we’re here to simplify the process and give you a transparent understanding of what working with Rebekah Nicole Interiors (RNI) entails.

Here’s a breakdown of the costs associated with your project when working with us:

Design Fees

We use a Flat-Fee Billing process, ensuring clarity and predictability from the start. Your design fee is determined by the size and complexity of your project, and we provide this quote following our initial visit to your home. Once the fee is agreed upon, we collect a deposit upfront and establish installment payment dates. This flexible payment structure means you won’t have to cover the entire fee all at once.

Furnishing Budget

This part of your budget covers all the tangible elements that bring your space to life—furniture, lighting, window treatments, wall decor, and accessories.

For a thoughtfully designed space, we recommend allocating at least $100 per square foot per room for furnishings. However, if you’re looking for custom, bespoke, high-end, or vintage items, we suggest allocating $175–$275 per square foot to achieve the elevated look you desire.

Have no fear—when you work with RNI, we create a tailored budget before sourcing your items. This ensures we establish a clear plan, help you prioritize where to spend and where to save, and ultimately stay within your budget.

Additional Costs (Depending on Your Project Scope)

Receiver Fees: If your project is Full-Service, receiver fees may also apply. These fees cover tasks like receiving, inspecting, storing, removing packaging, and moving all furniture on installation day. It’s the ultimate convenience, so you can enjoy a seamless experience without lifting a finger.

Subcontractor Fees: For services such as painting, wallpaper installation, hanging art, or electrical work, we’ll assist you in obtaining bids from trusted professionals.

By understanding these components, you’ll have a clear picture of the investment needed for your project. Have questions or ready to get started? Contact us today! We’d love to help you create a space that feels like home.
