Starting my own business

[Housedoctor]

Hi I'm thinking of starting my own interior design business. Going into homes and offering advice on colors, room schemes, doing a mood board and help with getting all the people in place to get the work done. I just want to know if any of you would use a service like this? If so how much would you be willing to pay? I

There are a lot of people doing this and some companies ( eg Laura Ashley) charge a fee but you get it back of products you buy.
I think you may struggle to get work, especially at first if you don't have a portfolio of work to show

Hoppinggreen Please do not knock somebody's dream! Encourage and encourage is the way to go.

Hmm Hoppinggreen and frogmore having a row and a rather strange row at that. Leap into a pond and cool off chaps.

Assuming there is nothing socky or puppety about you OP a lot depends on your location, experience and the competition. Is your spelling of 'color' a clue?

Not trying to be defeatist but I know so many people do have just decided that because they love interior design they can do it for a living, it's just not that simple. Even qualified and experienced designers can struggle to find work.

Not a fan of dream-based business plans myself

Interior Design is a very competitive industry, with high expectations from the customers, and you might find it difficult to get customers or get supplier accounts without some credibility or qualifications.
