In this episode of Design Business Freedom, Melissa Galt - interior designer, firm owner, and industry veteran of nearly 30 years - details the contract clauses interior designers secretly wish they could include, and what those wishes reveal about where your agreement needs to be stronger.
From unpaid redesigns and client indecision to boundary violations, scope creep, and emotional labor, these real-world scenarios are costing interior design firms time, profit, and peace of mind. Melissa walks through the professional contract language and structural fixes that protect designers while elevating client experience, without sounding harsh or unapproachable.
This episode is especially for established interior designers and design firm principals generating $200K+ annually who are ready to lead with authority, protect their expertise, and stop absorbing stress that doesn't belong to them.
You'll learn how to:
- (03:09) Prevent endless revisions and unpaid labor
- (04:25) Maintain design authority with high-end clients
- (06:22) Enforce communication boundaries with trades and clients
- (10:45) Stop client-created emergencies and urgency
- (18:35) Strengthen your interior design agreement as your business grows
Your contract doesn't just protect you—it teaches clients how to treat you.
If you're ready to stop hoping for better behavior and start designing better boundaries, this episode will change how you think about your interior design agreement forever.
