How to Pay Yourself as an Interior Designer

We recently polled our DTS Files members and asked them to vote on the blog topics they wanted us to cover this month. The clear winner?

How to pay yourself as an interior designer.

This is a question we get all the time, and for good reason. Many designers aren’t paying themselves regularly, or they wait to see what’s “left over” at the end of the month (or year 😭) before cutting themselves a check. Not ideal.

If you want to show up as a real business owner (and feel confident doing it), paying yourself consistently and knowing how much to pay yourself is a big part of getting the back end of your business set up correctly.
