Free Interior Designer
Service Agreement
One 'small' client pivot after the custom marble is cut will bleed your profit dry and leave you footing a five-figure bill for someone else's house. If you don't lock down the scope, you’re just a glorified personal shopper working for free while your business chokes to death.
Pro Contractor Tip
Stick a 'Price Escalation' clause in there so when the cost of luxury fabric or freight spikes overnight, your client—not your wallet—absorbs the hit.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Interior Designer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I stop a client from calling me at midnight to 'just change one tiny color'?
Define 'Standard Business Hours' and 'Communication Protocols' in your contract so you can bill them an 'After-Hours Consultation Fee' the moment they cross the line.
What happens if a client likes my design but tries to buy the furniture themselves to dodge my markup?
Use a 'Procurement Exclusivity' clause that mandates all project items be sourced through you, ensuring your time spent hunting down the perfect piece actually gets paid.
How do I handle a client who refuses to pay the final invoice because they 'don't like the vibe' of the finished room?
A solid agreement uses 'Phased Approvals' where the client signs off on each stage in writing; once they sign the design phase, they can't legally complain about the 'vibe' when the bill for the furniture hits.
