Hi, I recently decided to renovate my house. Lot size around 2300sqft
Would like to ask how much does a interior designer cost?
Say I want him to design my whole house.
1.Do they charge by price per sqft? Another thing I heard people say that they charge by taking 10% from your reno cost, which mean if you use 100k to renovate, they charge you 10k. Is that true?
2.If not how they charge?
3.Is it worth the cost ? I won't have enough time to supervise the site visually.
4.I heard they only provide floor plan (their design)
5.For a regular person I don't think I can fully understand what they draw lol.. do they sketch it out? but i think sketch also cannot bring the whole feel without color and i think 3d drawn by them nowadays almost look like real so 3d is better ..How they charge for 3d? per view? per area or what? What's the price?
6.Can I find student to design for me? How much cheaper will it be?
is it worth the risk?
7.Is it better to let the designer find his own contractor? or i myself find outside? I scared they pakat with contractor chop me here and there
Anyone who hired a interior designer before please help me, interior designer can help me also if you want

TLDR. ill just summarize in short for you. normally, a designer would charge by per SF, that's if you request him for only the design. if they include the renovation, the fee would be scraped. i just renovated my 1800sf condo for around 200k but the total cost include loads of hacking. 200k is the rough estimation as i did some of the wet works myself (dad's company). as for the drawings, same as above. if you let them handle the renovation progress, the fees for drawings and planning will be 'scrapped' off but normally they'll earn it back in the outsourcing of materials and such.Would like to ask how much does a interior designer cost?

it is always recommended that you get a good designer as he would be there to supervise for you. all in all, good things come with a price.
