Take Your Design Business to the Next Level

As you know, I’m here to share with you the helpful tips, tricks and information I learn in the interior design industry that will help you succeed in running the most fulfilling and profitable business possible. Today, I want to share with you a business I came across that’s goal is to improve the interior design industry one design firm at a time.

The Interior Design Standard, created by East Coast interior designer Sandra Funk (House of Funk), is making a huge impact on a number of interior designer’s businesses across the country.

Why is this program making such an impact? Because the Interior Design Standard is House of Funk’s business structure. That’s right! The program includes a variety of modules with templates, processes, tools and tech for designers to implement the structure into their own businesses. Within each module are videos explaining the ‘why’ behind Funk’s processes, with her personal experiences and lessons learned weaved in.  

The program is delivered in a friendly digital format. Designers receive lifetime access, live virtual community events and access to the ultimate design community: the Standard Inner Circle. “Our mantra is ‘Rise, Designers, Rise’. By helping one designer at a time, we hope to see the entire design industry improve,” says Funk.

The Standard inner circle members average 11 years in business. "It's incredible to watch this group of entrepreneurs, ranging from brand new to the industry to 40-year veterans, making the choice to intentionally improve their businesses. It is an honor to know each and every one of them," says Funk.

This program is perfect for any designer who needs organized processes, wants to learn more about how a thriving and successful design practice does it and wants to bring the joy and passion back into their business.

Highlights of the Standard include:

-          The design fee calculator - finally a formula that removes the fear of flat fees

-          The design agreement that both clients and designers love

-          The exact process that each interior design project follows, from the first potential client contact to completing photo worthy projects

-          Access to the Standard Inner Circle, a community of designers improving their businesses together via a private Facebook group and community Zoom calls facilitated by Sandra

Enrollment only happens twice per year and the next enrollment period is in May 2021. If you are interested you can sign up for updates at https://houseoffunk.com/trade. I will also send another email about the Standard in May as a reminder in case you are interested in the program.

As always, please feel free to reach out if you have questions!

I hope you have a wonderful day! Danae
