Interior designers

[Blowitout]

I am thinking of using the services of an interior designer but am not sure whether the quotes I've had are reasonable. How much should I expect to pay for "conceptual development/design specs" of 4 bed, 2 bath house in SE England? Thank you.

Following with interest. We might be about to buy a new build so a blank canvas. I'm tempted to get a company in to help me make best use of the space.

Also interested in the answers to this!

This was my old job and may be again one day.....depends who you've gone to. A big established company will charge more, whereas a start-up will charge maybe £500 max as they're just keen to get a foot in the door. So, could be anything from £3/400 to £2000+, like I said, it depends on the reputation and experience of the designer/studio.....do you like their previous work/them, as that's important too, definitely them, you'll be spending a lot of time talking to them and have to trust them....
