About this event

Clear, confident pricing is essential to running a successful design business. In this focused and practical workshop, you’ll gain the tools to price your services accurately, structure proposals that win clients, and communicate your value with ease. Designed specifically for interior designers, this session will help you avoid common pricing pitfalls, navigate client expectations, and build stronger, more transparent working relationships.

WHAT TO EXPECT

By the end of this session, participants will:

  • Understand how to calculate a bespoke hourly rate and select the most effective fee structure for different types of projects
  • Learn what information to gather from clients, and at which stages of the design process, to create clear, client-focused fee proposals
  • Gain clarity on the legal and practical distinctions between supplying products as an agent or a principal — improving transparency and reducing liability
  • Build confidence in presenting fees, proposals, and terms clearly — helping to enhance both credibility and client relationships

WHAT YOU WILL LEAVE WITH

  • Hourly Rate Calculator spreadsheet (for self-study use)
  • Project Fee Calculator spreadsheet
  • Template Client Proposal

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Interior designers seeking to strengthen their business foundations, improve fee transparency, and communicate value with greater confidence. Ideal for both emerging and experienced practitioners.

Our Mission:

The British Institute of Interior Design is committed to encouraging and supporting creativity and competence in the field of interior design through facilitating best practice, practical professional support, development opportunities and education.

Our Standards: 

In addition to rigorous entry requirements which assess training, experience and professionalism, we require our members to continue their professional development throughout their career to ensure their continued expertise in design process, practice and regulatory matters.

The British Institute of Interior Design is the only professional organisation for interior designers which has been granted the prestigious and rare accolade of Institute status by the Minister of State as the pre-eminent body in its field.

History:

The organisation was founded in 1965 as the Interior Decorators and Designers Association (IDDA). In 2001, the IDDA was amalgamated with the globally recognised International Interior Design Association UK Chapter (IIDA), to form the British Interior Design Association (BIDA). The Secretary of State recognised the BIDA as the pre-eminent body in the field in 2009 and granted Institute status so it became the British Institute of Interior Design.

Outreach: 

The British Institute of Interior Design is a member of the Construction Industry Council (CIC), the All Parliamentary Design and Innovation Group (APDIG), the International Federation of Interior Architects/Designers (IFI), the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) and the Creative Industries Federation.
