Invoicing for Interior Designers Made Simple

Interior design billing is weird. You've got flat design fees, hourly site visit rates, and furniture markups all on one invoice. Most generic templates can't handle separating your non-taxable services from taxable furniture purchases-this one can.

Flexibility

Mix Services and Products.

Other invoicing tools try to make everything fit the same format. Here, you can itemize your taxable furniture purchases separately from your design consultation fees (which might be exempt, depending on your state). Clear line items = fewer questions from your client's AP department.

Professionalism

Bill for Procurement.

When you're ordering furniture on behalf of a client, put the procurement fee right on the invoice. Call it "Procurement Fee" or "Handling Fee"-whatever works. Being upfront about markup means no awkward conversations when the bill arrives.

Common US Design Billing Pitfalls

Sales Tax on Services vs Goods

In New York, for example, "Capital Improvements" might be tax-exempt, but "Decorating" isn't. That's why it matters how you word your invoice line items-both your client and the state need to know what they're paying for.

Reimbursables

If you drove two hours to a job site or ordered fabric swatches, list those as separate line items. Don't bury them in your design fee. Clients appreciate the transparency, and you won't accidentally eat the cost.
