🎙️ Fully Booked & Highly Paid Podcast

EPISODE 33 The Truth About Pricing for Interior Designers (ft. Lisa-Marie Elkhadraoui)

Struggling to price your services confidently? Feeling like you’re winging it every time you send a quote? You’re not alone, and this episode is the wake-up call every interior designer needs.

In this episode, Lisa-Marie Elkhadraoui, you interior designer turned business coach, pulls back the curtain on the pricing chaos that’s holding so many designers back.

She’s been there: second-guessing every quote, hustling hard, undercharging, and still not feeling profitable.

Now? She teaches creatives how to confidently own their value, package their brilliance, and get fully booked and highly paid without burning out.

This is the pep talk meets pricing strategy session your business has been waiting for.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why pricing feels so overwhelming in the early years (and how to shift that)
• The problem with “flexible” pricing (spoiler: it creates chaos)
• How to structure your pricing to build confidence and attract better clients
• The difference between time-based vs. value-based pricing
• Why your mindset matters more than your math
• How to stop feeling guilty for charging what you’re worth

This episode is perfect for:

→ Interior designers in their first few years of business
→ Creatives who want to stop winging it with pricing
→ Designers ready to step into CEO energy and start charging based on value

📲 If this episode hit home, don’t wait. DM our team on teamdesignbossdiary@gmail.com and say “I’m ready to be fully booked + highly paid” and we’ll guide you to the next step.

They discuss the importance of layout in interior design, common pitfalls in floor planning, and how Curated Spaces empowers clients with clarity and confidence in their renovation projects.

We talk about Jessica's journey of launching Curated Spaces, the role of being coached and mentored by myself in her business growth, and the significance of support networks for female entrepreneurs.

We speak about the power of pricing and that incredible first 5 figure client invoice and the power of Fully Booked and Highly Paid.

The conversation also touches on future plans for Curated Spaces and advice for homeowners considering renovations.
