The Designers Necessity
Business cards are must haves. You should carry at least 20 of them daily.
Carry your portfolio with you in your car. It makes for easy references in a pinch. (You never where your next client will turn up)
Most recent issues of Design Magazines make for quick inspiration. (Not a bad way to pass time either)
Measuring tape
Paint and color swatches
Wallpaper, and carpet sample books. Keep them in your car.
A copy of your certifiable credentials (if applicable)
Once you are established you may charge as much as youd like.
Interior Design Society

Much of your specialty will depend on your better interest. You must have knowledge of how lighting works, and have a general idea of what is needed to install light fixtures in areas that do not have them already. Check your local government or business assistance programs. How to Start your Interior Design Business Starting any business is never simple, but it doesnt have to be as complicated as many people think. When trying to decide how to put a value to your services alone, that is pretty much up to you. People put a great deal of trust in you, and you must reward that with the best final result possible.
