How Much Do Interior Designers Get Paid in 2024?
It’s a good question considering the financial roller coaster that we’ve been on during the past few years.
Like most small businesses, the first phase of the Covid pandemic crushed our businesses as our job sites were shut down.
Then, with the arrival of gov’t support cheques AND a lot of people working (or not working) form home, our economy shifted from buying services to buying stuff to make our homes more livable.
When our job sites were allowed to re-open, a lot of that “free” money flowed our way. Interior designers were busy as heck. Busy residential design firms needed help handling all the job requests.
Then came the double whammy of inflation & increased interest rates. Suddenly, for a lot of interior designers, business fell off a cliff.
So…what does the industry look like in 2024 AND if you’re a junior OR senior interior designer looking for a new job, what should you expect/demand to be paid?
