Pricing Interior Design Services in CAD

Interior design services in Canada are commonly priced as hourly rates, flat fees, or a percentage of project cost, with the exact model depending on scope and complexity.

Typical Canadian pricing benchmarks are:

• Hourly rates: about CAD $150–$600/hour for interior design services in Canada, with the lower end often used for simpler or smaller-scope work and the higher end reflecting more experienced designers or complex projects.
• E-design / online packages: about CAD $500–$2,500 per room for concepts such as mood boards, shopping lists, and lighter design support.
• Hybrid / partial service: about CAD $3,000–$12,000 per room for deeper involvement such as measured drawings, 3D visuals, spec sheets, and some site advisory.
• Full-service renovations: often billed project-based or hourly, with fees that rise with site visits, vendor coordination, documentation, custom millwork, and permit complexity.
• Rule-of-thumb project fee: one Canadian designer notes total designer fees may be around 5% of the overall renovation cost, sometimes up to 10%.

A practical way to budget is to ask for the pricing structure, scope of work, and whether purchasing, revisions, site visits, and procurement are included, since those items can materially change the final cost.
