As a business owner, these items <em>should<\/em> be considered when determining an annual <a href=\"\/2020\/10\/increase-your-interior-designer-salary-with-qcs-virtual-design-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">interior decorator salary<\/a>.\n\nI remember back when I first started in the industry, I&#8217;d landed a sweet paying job making 6-figures. Unfortunately, the politics, drama, and lack of direction in the start-up company weren\u2019t worth the amount of money I was receiving. But it&#8217;s important to note that many other businesses do <em>not<\/em> operate this way.\n\nMy point is, excellent paying positions DO exist in the industry! Thankfully, not all are attached to politics and drama. As a launch pad for your career, I highly recommend considering the opportunity to work for a team. This can be an excellent way to learn the ropes and build your experience. Consider it a paid internship!\n\nAt the very least, it&#8217;s a chance to learn (a.k.a. make mistakes) on someone\u2019s dime.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;21138&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]When considering the interior decorator salary as an employee, another consideration is retail vs. corporate\/firm.

In fact, I actually LOVE them!\n\nWhy? Yes, they\u2019re super fun \u2013 no doubt about that! But they are also EASY and QUICK income revenue streams. For instance, a color consultation can bring me $500 for 3 hours&#8217; worth of work! The scope of the work involved in that timeframe would typically include:\n<ul>\n \t<li>The onsite 45-minute <a href=\"\/2015\/08\/client-consultation-questions-creating-the-concept\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">client consultation<\/a><\/li>\n \t<li>The non-scaled drawing<\/li>\n \t<li>Color selection<\/li>\n \t<li>Color layout<\/li>\n \t<li>Presentation<\/li>\n \t<li>One revision<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nA single <a href=\"\/2016\/03\/home-decor-to-diy-or-not-to-diy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DIY Consultation<\/a> (helping do-it-yourselfers with strategic planning, guidance, or advice) is $150 for one hour&#8217;s worth of work and a summarized email!\n\nThen there are the <em>e-design <\/em>services that can open up a whole new world of business for you!

This eliminates commuting costs, which in turn will increase your productivity. It would also eliminate travels costs (i.e. gas, wear and tear).
