The design fee is for design concepts, solutions to the problems, and advice on any purchases. When a product is ordered through the designer, there is a great deal of time spent on producing purchase orders, ordering cuttings of fabrics, and wall-coverings from current stock for approval. Our procurement fee is 25-30% plus the cost of goods sold. As professionals we have access to wholesale vendors from whom we have built a relationship with over time to ensure over quality control of your purchased items before they arrive to you.
