[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can definitely get that, yes. $2300 for up to 3500 sqft full CAD layout plan with someone who regularly visits top fairs such as the Milan expo and not someone who’ll take you to Chantilly VA and upcharge you Don’t like architects? Talk to proven talent. [b]Consultation with Nate Berkus is $900[/b] Like it or not C19 has changed the world and AI has supersped the global connectivity and ability to get anything done better cheaper and virtually. Professional designers don’t need anything more than a 2 year associate degree. Getting a CAD plan out of one is like wringing water out of a stone [/quote] LOL. Thats for 15 minutes! An AD 100 won’t do anything for under $150K, but good luck with all that! [/quote] You’re proving the point people are making — DMV interior designers are selling low to middling design for middle to high prices and laughing at their clients being forced into this situation. There are now alternatives in the market. Smart money can combine a virtual designer or even a showroom designer with consultation with a great designer they admire. [/quote] Very few DC designers are $3600/hr. And, of course the designs are middling because the vast majority of people in this city don’t want to pay a lot for furniture. OP said she doesn’t have $100k to spend. Some lady is furious about paying $2k for services and won’t even replace her couch. [/quote] I’d layer it. Consult with a top designer at the start. middle and end. Negotiate a price to review my choices. Work with an overseas designer for as we saw 20-100 per hour or flat price of a few thousands. But my own furniture unless a designer will pass me their trade discount. In the past I also passed a basic course and got licensed to get a trade discount and access Holly Hunt and similar for renovating at the same time the main house, beach house and rental condos. The trade discount wasn’t really worth much especially since the discounts are now so steep and you can negotiate with the stores, also can buy directly from European manufacturers. Instagram has opened up the world even more — got sent vintage chandeliers, new furniture, antiques all at a discount. I think this industry like many is poised for description and most people won’t have work any more unless they are affordable or exceptional. Lumens and others have phenomenal European lighting — don’t buy mass produced stuff [/quote]
