Terms You Need In Your Residential Interior Design Service Agreement

When I start working with interior design business owners to streamline their operations, most of them have a contract in place they’ve been using for years.

As we dive into their client experience and look for ways to strengthen their process, we often find opportunities to make their contract work even better for them—protecting their business and helping create a smoother experience for clients. While I’m not an attorney, I recommend reviewing your contract after every project to see if you need to tighten it up or make any changes to it (we all know every project presents its own set of challenges).

A solid residential interior design contract is one of the many steps to creating a seamless experience for you and your customers. If your contract terms aren’t aligned with your interior design process OR you’re unsure how to rely on your contract when issues pop up, you’ll eventually run into some bumps in the road.

The question is: how can you set things up ahead of time in a way that feels supportive to your clients AND aligns with your policies? It’s all about what’s in your contract and how you present it to your clients.

Note: I’m not an attorney and this is not legal advice. This is my experience based on working with hundreds of interior designers and many of their lawyers.
