At jeofferte.nl, you receive multiple, specified quotes from qualified interior designers or interior architects. This allows you to easily compare prices, approaches, and experience – and always choose a process that suits your style, goals, and budget.

The total costs of an interior design consultancy project consist of several parts: from intake and design to elaboration, visualization, and possible execution. The more extensive the advice, the larger the share of design, visualization, or guidance in the total price.

Indicative distribution for a complete interior design consultancy project:

Example distribution for a total advice of €3,500

Factors that can influence the ratio

• Basic packages contain less visualization and execution; the share of design is then relatively larger.
• Visualization-intensive projects (such as new construction or high-end interior design) have a higher share for 3D and custom work.
• Commercial projects often involve more coordination and execution, which increases that share.
• Timeline and complexity influence the ratio between preparation and design elaboration.

Why this structure is important

A transparent pricing structure helps you to:

• Compare quotes effectively based on content and depth
• Understand which components increase costs
• Make informed choices when expanding or limiting the process
• Align expectations properly with the advisor

At jeofferte.nl, every quote clearly indicates what is included and how the costs are structured.

The total cost of interior design advice is not solely determined by the stylist's or architect's rate, but primarily by the content, scope, and level of detail of the advisory process. The factors below have the greatest influence on pricing.

1. Scope of the project (number of m² or rooms)

The larger the project, the more analysis, design, and elaboration time is needed.

• A single room costs relatively more per m² than a total advice for multiple rooms.
• From 60 m² onwards, a lower price per square meter or a package price is often used.

2. Type and depth of advice

A more comprehensive plan with 3D visualizations, custom furniture, or execution trajectories costs significantly more than basic advice.

3. Advisor's experience and profile

• Starters or freelance stylists charge lower rates (often from €75 per hour).
• Experienced designers and interior architects charge an average of €100 – €150 per hour.
• Agencies or specialists in business projects can charge hourly rates up to €180.

Note: the additional cost is often accompanied by extra quality, presentation, and project management.

4. Number of Consultations and Revisions

Most quotes include one round of revisions. Additional correction rounds, further discussions, or custom presentations may increase the total amount.

Practical tip: Formulate your wishes as completely as possible before starting the design process to limit revision costs.

5. Use of visualizations and technical elaboration

• A 2D floor plan or mood board is often included in the basic rate.
• 3D visualizations cost on average €350 – €900 per room.
• Lighting plans or wiring diagrams: €450 – €1,250
• Technical drawings for custom work: from €600 per item

These components provide extra clarity and execution technique, but also increase costs.

6. Support during execution or procurement

Not every client needs guidance. You can optionally include this in the quote.

7. Location and Accessibility

• For assignments outside the region, travel costs may be charged (€0.30 – €0.50 per km).
• For complex locations (e.g., multiple floors or limited access), additional work may arise.
• Online advice is cheaper, but offers less room for detailed on-site assessment.

The price per m² or m³ depends on the complexity of the project, the type of advice, and the depth of the elaboration. This approach is particularly used for larger projects, casco deliveries, or commercial spaces (such as offices, shops, or hospitality venues).

1. Costs per m² (floor area)

Explanation:

• For smaller spaces (under 25 m²) there is often a minimum price
• For entire floors or buildings (from 70 m²) the price per m² is applied more efficiently
• Rates include preparation, intake, and delivery in digital form

2. Costs per m³ (volume, e.g. for high spaces or shell)

Explanation:

• m³ calculation is mainly used for projects with large height or volumes
• Suitable for lofts, showrooms, entrances or public spaces
• This approach takes into account acoustics, lighting and experience at height

3. When is price per m²/m³ relevant?

Example Calculation – Interior Design for Living Area (70 m²)

Comprehensive Advice Package:

• Layout, style, color, materials
• Lighting plan and 2 revisions
• Final presentation (digital)

Price Indication:
70 m² × €45 = €3,150 incl. VAT

When combined with execution or 3D visualization, an average of €750 – €1,250 will be added.

Transparent pricing structures via jeofferte.nl

Via jeofferte.nl you receive quotes based on:

• m² or m³
• Fixed package price
• Hourly rate or combination

You choose the approach that best suits your project, so that costs remain predictable and controllable.

1. Interior design is custom-made, but highly scalable.
From a brief color consultation to a complete design process with 3D visualizations and execution: interior design is available at different levels and price ranges. The content of the advice largely determines the price.

2. Clear briefing and preparation save time and costs.
A well-prepared intake – with clear wishes, photos, and mood boards – makes the advice process more efficient. This prevents unnecessary revision rounds and keeps the process manageable.

3. Most advisory processes are structured in phases.
The standard procedure includes intake, concept development, final design, and (optional) execution support. Fixed prices or hourly rates are common per phase, depending on the chosen approach.

4. Costs vary greatly based on scope and level of detail.
Indicative rates range from €250 for basic advice to over €4,000 for a fully developed project with custom work and support. The average price per room is between €500 and €1,250.

5. Pricing models differ per project type.

·       Small projects: fixed rate per room or per session

·       Medium-sized projects: price per room or per m²

·       Large (business) projects: price per m³, in combination with time tracking

6. Extra options can be valuable, but will increase costs.
Visualizations, lighting plans, technical drawings, and final styling make the advice visually stronger and more feasible, but also increase the budget. Consciously select these components based on the goal of your project.

7. Quotes via jeofferte.nl are clear, complete, and easy to compare.
