Episode 51: Billing Methods for Interior Designers

from The DesignDash Podcast · host Laura Umansky and Melissa Grove

If you’re a designer, you’ve definitely wrestled with the whole “how the heck do I charge for this?” question. In this episode we’re opening the door wide on a topic that every design business owner thinks about way more than they admit: billing methods. Yep, we’re diving deep into hourly vs. flat fee vs. hybrid pricing vs. the “I’ll just cut a few hours because I feel bad” method (you know who you are). Here’s what we get into: The biggest mindset block we see designers struggling with when it comes to billing. Real talk about how undervaluing your time is not a flex—it’s a revenue killer. Why hourly works for us—and why it may or may not work for you. How to talk about money with clients without sounding awkward or apologetic. Alternative billing methods you might not be using yet (but should consider). And the one simple tool we use to boost confidence during new client calls. If you've ever found yourself hesitating to hit “send” on an invoice or wondering if your pricing structure is actually working for you and not against you, this one’s for you. We’re also gearing up for our live workshop inside the Design Dash Community where we’ll dig even deeper into all things billing. Spoiler: you’ll want to be there.
