An interior designer contract creates a clear framework for the project and reduces the risk of conflicting expectations. It should be an understandable document explaining what will be delivered, when and for what fee.
Parties and Scope
Identify the parties, the property and the exact service. State whether the work includes consultation, concept design, technical drawings, material selection, custom furniture or implementation coordination.
Scope and Deliverables
The contract should list the documents and materials you will receive: layouts, visualisations, lighting, electrical and plumbing drawings, furniture details and quantity specifications.
Stages and Deadlines
Divide the project into stages with clear deadlines and conditions for moving forward. Explain what happens if feedback, deliveries or client decisions are delayed.
Fees and Payments
State the total fee, calculation method, taxes, included meetings and payment schedule. If implementation is quoted separately, this should be clearly distinguished.
Changes and Additional Services
The contract should explain how many revisions are included and how additional tasks are approved. Ideally, every change is confirmed in writing with its price and effect on the schedule.
Copyright and Termination
Clarify how drawings and visualisations may be used, when files are delivered and what happens if the contract ends early. Seek legal advice for a specific agreement when necessary.
