Updated: 30 October 2024

Starting a project with a clear, professional quotation is essential for interior designers, as it outlines costs, timelines, and services offered, giving clients clarity on project expectations and budget.


What is an Interior Design Quotation?

An interior design quotation is a formal document that details the scope of work, costs, timelines, and terms of service for a specific design project. It sets the groundwork for client expectations and provides transparency.
