Design Fees
PROJECT MINIMUMS
Minimum project design fee is $2,500, with the exception of one-time consultations, Design Packages or eDesign. This amount is generally for a single room design, like a powder room, laundry room, or a room with partial furnishings.
Furnishings and decor minimum for a full room: $20,000 (for a living room, for example). This budget does not include design fees.



FLAT FEES
We propose a flat fee structure most often for our projects unless a specific design service package is purchased. Flat fees help to take the guesswork out of the total cost for our design services and give our clients peace of mind.
Projects are quoted after our initial Design Consultation where I can assess the scope of work. Your custom design proposal is detailed with the project scope, timeline and logistics.
Proposed design fees may include the following services: builder plans, selections, procurement, project management, collaboration with trades and contractors/builders
Proposals may include a hybrid model design fee structure including a flat fee and hourly rate.
For more information on design service packages please visit Interior Design Services Packages and eDesign Services Packages.



HOURLY RATE
Occasionally, we work on an hourly rate, which would typically be for additional services added to the original contract.
All hours or partial hours working on and/or for your project will be considered billable design time including commuting time, phone calls, messages, and emails.
Out of state project travel requirements and accommodation fees are quoted per project.


PURCHASING THROUGH MY STUDIO
Where applicable, we expect full-service clients to purchase their furnishings through Carla Bast Design. Your cost of product includes our procurement fee, shipping, delivery, and tax.
