"You don't need to do it all! Think about your personality and what is a good fit for YOU and your clients." - Kate Bendewald
When it comes to design services and the different options that we, as interior designers, have when it comes to what we each offer, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. In many cases, designers today don’t want to do procurement due to lead times, construction costs and delays, etc. Many of you may want to have a menu of options for clients. In this episode, I share what I feel are the 5 types of interior design services that you should consider offering, what they are, what the pros and cons are, and who they are ideal for.
I will throw out one caveat. In this episode I am talking about generally accepted practices in interior design. Will there be exceptions? Absolutely. This is intended to provide a framework for how to think about the different types of services you might offer and how to decide which ones are in alignment with the types of clients you want and the kind of design career you want.
In this episode, we answer questions like…
-
What design services you may consider offering to your clients?
-
What are the pros and cons of each type of design service?
-
What kind of design career do you want?
Here’s a glance at this episode…
[3:00] Why I don’t feel like an interior designer should offer all types of services, but rather choose what interior design services are best for their business. Why offering a ladder of services may be a better fit.
[5:20] We dive into what full-service design includes and involves, how the project management may work, and the pros and cons.
[10:30] I share how I use design-only services in my business, the pros and cons as well as who this is ideal for.
[18:05] Consultation only services and how you can set these up by offering advice and design direction only, without drawings or detailed specifications.
[21:50] Offering services remotely via E-Design services - when they can work, who they work best for, and all of the pros and cons.
[29:45] One of my favorite services to offer, Designer for a Day - how much can you achieve in a day, how do you charge, what is really possible?
[35:27] Wrapping up with a few thought-provoking questions to get you on the right track!
