Investment Guide
How do you charge?
Design fees are determined as a flat fee per project and are significantly influenced by the scope of each project. For planning purposes, prospective clients should budget approximately 15-20% of the overall project budget for design fees as a general guide. Smaller rooms with fewer design elements may cost less, while larger rooms with more elements may cost more.
Design aesthetic
To achieve the Avantte interior designs aesthetic, expect to invest approximately $30,000+ per room for furnishings. (excluding kitchens and bathrooms)
Deposits
Furniture will be processed with an approved proposal and a 100 percent deposit. Design Services require 50% percent at the signing of the Design Agreement and the balance after the first presentation. The Agreement or Statement of Work will outline the full fee schedule for a more complex design project.
Freight:
Freight charges are an inevitable cost of ordering furniture. Freight is the cost of an item to be shipped from the source of origination to our Warehouse. Most of the time, these items are shipped in large carrier trucks and cannot go directly to a residence. The cost of Freight is typically 10% – 17% of the cost of the item. We show you the estimated Freight for every product freight; it is billed at cost.
White Glove:
Once the furniture hits our Warehouse, our Warehouse inspects the products item and holds it until we are ready for delivery. When most of the items are in the Warehouse, we schedule an in-home white glove delivery. Our delivery company brings all the pieces to your location, assembles them, and places them as per our guidance. The Client is responsible for the white glove delivery fee. The actual cost of delivery is presented to the Client before the installation. We expect the delivery fee to be paid in full to proceed.
Custom Orders:
Once we order a custom item it cannot be returned, no exceptions.
