Q&A: How much does an interior decorator get paid?
Question by : How much does an interior decorator get paid?
By the client? I'm doing some research and I was wondering, if a decorator works at a firm and that firm gets a job to decorate an entire office building with, let's say 25 floors, in Manhattan. How much would the client pay firm and how much would the decorator receive? And also, is that a reasonable job?

Well first off, many decorators work within the residential market, not commercial. There are some that do commercial spaces but its pretty limited. For jobs like the one you are using as an example, the firm would most likely be using Interior Designers within a large firm. Most of the larger projects are going to be done by licensed professionals as opposed to decorators who don't need to have a license to practice.
Doing a large job like 25 floors really depends on what the client needs. If they just want furniture then the cost is going to be smaller than if they want to move walls and completely re construct the buildings interiors. It also depends on what kind of furniture and lighting the client wants. Most commercial furniture is VERY expensive. Just an office chair can cost up to $ 800 or more.
Also the client would have to take into consideration if the building is new or old, if there are structural changes that need to be made or if certain codes need to be updated. So you can see that for such a big project there are many components to it and there is a lot to take into consideration.
If you are wondering about just Interior Decorators salaries, they usually get paid on commission and can charge either a base rate for their services or an hourly fee. The amount they charge can depend on what they are doing and where they are working.

I'm moving into a 2000 sq.ft. office that needs some work. I'm not wanting it to look like a palace but just professionally respectful.
Any help would be great!

About 30% of the total amount spent. You are paying for them to oversee and delegate trades, their expertise, the drawings, planning all while keeping to your budget. They work closely with you to make sure you get exactly what you want but with their flair. Don't get scared when you hear "Interior Designer" you don't need a massive budget as you are paying for their creativity to make sure you are comfortable with the money spent. It is a great idea what you are thinking of doing as it will be the face of your business and your clients will get a preview of how you run it. Best of luck! I can help you with ideas if you like if you want to save some dough.

Q&A: How much would it cost to have interior doors installed?
Question by SoCalBoy: How much would it cost to have interior doors installed?
... for a home office. Right now, the room (built as a den) has no doors... just a large arched opening... 103″ high at peak.... 53″ wide. French (double) doors would likely make most sense. Anyone have an idea of a ballpark price range for quality doors? Something with good noise blocking... not luan or hollowcore. I know ultimately I'd need to get someone in here to check it out, but just curious in the meantime. Thanks so much.

Prices vary with location. Call your local Home Depot or Lowe's or another building supply to check price. You can check the web site for the first two and get a quote that way. Labor rates will vary too. That arched part will have to be dealt with -- closed off or a window added or something.

How much do INTERIOR GLASS WALLS cost?
Question by kikbax: How much do INTERIOR GLASS WALLS cost?
I am trying to determine the BASIC cost for standard interior glass walls for internal offices. I know different types will cost different prices, but I am just trying to get a basic price range estimate for pre-budgeting. For example, let's say we are building a standard 10'x12′ internal glass wall office. How much would this cost? Or better yet, how much compared to standard dry wall? Thanks!

Answer by DIY Doc
Well it would be absolutely neccesary to price glass very specific to an office, first of all, and a safety type for liability issues more than anything. Certainly it couldn't be window pane.
You may also not find "Basic" here, but you should connect with local glass suppliers, especially those dealing commercially. 10 x 12 in single sheets or even split to double 4 x 5's would not only be heavy, and special orders, but cost would far outweigh that of drywall. I have no clue by how much, but consider that a sheet of 1/2″, 4 x 8 drywall is about $ 10. You might expect a glass sheet to be more than 100 times that cost.
