The Interior Design Hourly Rate Agreement
Â
The Professional Contract That Protects Your Time, Your Revenue, and Your Boundaries
If you bill hourly, this agreement isn’t optional.
It’s your protection, your clarity, and your calm when money conversations come up.
Too many designers only start looking for a better contract after a client questions an invoice or suddenly “forgets” what hourly actually means.
We’re skipping that part.
This Hourly Rate Interior Design Agreement was created specifically for interior designers who want to run their business professionally, set clear expectations with clients, and confidently charge for the value they provide.
No confusion.
No awkward explanations.
No chasing payments.
Just a clear agreement that supports how you actually work.
What This Agreement Does
This agreement clearly defines how you work, how you bill, and what clients can expect — before the project even begins.
It allows you to confidently say:
• This is how my hourly rate works
• This is what counts as billable time
• This is how and when invoices are sent
• This is what’s included — and what’s not
• This is what happens if scope shifts or the project pauses
When expectations are clear, projects run smoother and clients respect your process.

A Note From John
I’ve been running my design firm for more than 15 years, and one thing I’ve learned is this: Clarity creates confidence.
A strong agreement doesn’t just protect you legally. It sets the tone for the entire client relationship.
When expectations are clear from the beginning, projects run smoother, clients feel more comfortable, and you can focus on what you do best — designing beautiful spaces.
This is the same type of agreement structure I’ve relied on in my own business, now simplified, explained, and ready for you to use.
