INTERIOR DESIGN PROPOSAL SOFTWARE

Create interior design proposals that lead cleanly into the project.

Prepare a professional fee and service proposal using project information that can continue into the workspace once approved. Keep scope, services, deliverables, fee structure and supporting documents easy for the studio and client to understand.

For independent designers and studios that want repeatable proposals without disconnecting the sales conversation from project setup and financial planning.

02Explain scope and fees clearly

Present services, deliverables, timing, assumptions and the proposed design fee in a client-ready format.

03Keep the approved record

Store the issued proposal beside the contract, brief and project documents instead of losing it in email.

WHAT IT CONNECTS

Proposals that stays connected to delivery.

The workflow keeps useful context attached to the client, project, room, product, document or financial record it belongs to.

HOW IT WORKS

A practical workflow from first action to clear result.

  1. 01

    Define the engagement

    Confirm project type, scope, spaces, deliverables and working assumptions.

  2. 02

    Choose the fee model

    Prepare fixed, hourly, percentage or area-based fees that match the service.

  3. 03

    Present the proposal

    Share a polished client-facing document and keep the current version available.

  4. 04

    Continue into setup

    Use the accepted scope and client details to begin the workspace project.

WHY IT MATTERS

Reuse an established structure while adapting the content to each client.

Clearer expectations

Make scope, deliverables and fees visible before work begins.

A stronger project record

Keep the proposal with the documents and decisions it created.

QUESTIONS

About proposals in Workspace.

Can I edit proposals in Canva?

Yes. Official Design Index templates can be opened in Canva and adapted to the studio’s own brand and service structure.

Can proposals use different fee models?

Yes. Interior design services can be structured with fixed, hourly, percentage or area-based fees depending on the engagement.

Where are accepted proposals stored?

They can be kept in the project Document Studio beside the brief, contract and later project documents.

Does proposal information connect to the workspace?

The workflow is designed so accepted client and project context can continue into project setup rather than being re-entered.
