Get more from every document
Turn a homeowner's first conversation into a signed residential design engagement. Inside you get a materials gallery, clear pricing, a dated programme, and an approval step that closes the deal.
Get a yes without leaving the page
Your client reads the pricing, scrolls to the agreement, and signs right there. No PDF download, no printing, no waiting.
Build proposals from blocks you trust
Pull in a pricing table, steps, or testimonials in one click, then save your best versions to reuse on every pitch.
Your pitch reads well on any screen
The client opens your proposal on a phone between meetings and the gallery, pricing, and steps still fit the screen.
See which section sells your proposal
Heatmaps show if they lingered on pricing, and session replays let you watch the read, so your follow-up lands at the right time.
Know the moment they open it
Get pinged when a client views your proposal, leaves a comment, or signs the agreement, so you can reply while it's fresh.
Write the proposal together, live
Your designer tweaks the gallery while you rework the pricing, and you both see each change as it happens before sending.
See how every part fits
The proposal opens with your cover and the client's brief, moves through concept, materials, process and pricing, and closes on a signature. Keep what fits the project, drop what doesn't, and reorder anything.
Interior Design Proposal Cover with Project Overview
A polished cover introducing Estúdio Albarrã and the Cascais sea-view apartment project. It frames the full-service interiors offer, from first brief to the last cushion, and sets a confident, personal tone from page one.
Client Brief Summary: Downsizing Without Compromise
Reflects the client's needs back to them: moving from 420 m² to 210 m², three bedrooms, a sea-facing terrace and a fixed key date. It shows you listened and aligns both sides before design begins.
Design Concept Statement and Guiding Idea
An animated statement of the core design idea: keeping the life you love in half the house. It gives the proposal an emotional anchor and makes the studio's creative vision memorable.
Coastal Materials Palette Gallery
A visual gallery of six sea-air-ready materials: cork, oak, lime, Estremoz stone, linen and blue glaze. It shows taste and practicality, and promises physical samples once the concept is approved.
Design Process and Seven-Month Working Method
Introduces the two leads, Joana on design and Miguel on procurement and site, and walks through the seven-month process step by step. Clients see who they'll work with and how the timeline is built around long lead times.
Room-by-Room Design Direction
A breakdown of the studio's starting position for each space before concept. It makes the scope tangible, invites debate in the brief sessions, and helps clients picture every room.
Client Testimonials and Delivery Proof
Real words from past clients about moving in on time, including a sofa that arrived two days before the movers. Social proof that builds trust in the studio's procurement and deadline management.
Transparent Design Fee and Furniture Budget Pricing
A clear split between the fixed design fee, built from published day rates, and the client's furniture budget paid at trade price. Euro pricing plus 23% IVA, with no hidden markups, makes costs easy to understand.
Project Programme with Order Deadlines and Milestones
A task-based schedule showing key dates, such as the 18 June order deadline for the sofa and joinery. It sets review turnaround expectations and explains how late sign-offs affect move-in.
Plain-Language Terms and FAQ Accordion
An expandable list answering the questions couples ask most once the excitement wears off. Terms are stated plainly, which reduces hesitation and shows the studio is open about the small print.
Proposal Approval and E-Signature Next Step
A clear close with the proposal's validity date of 26 February 2027 and a sign-off area. Signing books the first brief session at Linhó for the week of 2 March, so the project starts immediately.

Answers to common questions about writing and sending interior design proposals to homeowners for full-service residential projects.
A strong interior design proposal includes a cover page, a project brief, a design concept, a materials selection, a working process, and a room-by-room breakdown. This template covers each of these sections: Cover, The brief, The idea, Materials, How we work, and Room by room. Together they show clients your vision, approach, and deliverables in a clear, logical order.
Replace the placeholder text in each section with your client's details, such as their goals in The brief and your design concept in The idea. Add your logo, brand colors, and fonts on the Cover, then update the Materials and Room by room sections with your own images, finishes, and scope. You can duplicate or delete room pages to match the size of each project.
Yes, you can export the finished proposal as a PDF to send to clients or print it for in-person presentations. PDF export keeps your layout, images, and fonts intact on any device. Check your editing tool for additional export options such as PowerPoint or image files.
Yes, the template suits freelance designers, small studios, decorators, and renovation consultants. The How we work section lets you explain your process, timeline, and communication style, which builds trust with new clients. The Room by room section scales easily from a single-room refresh to a full-home project.
Most users can complete a tailored proposal in 1 to 3 hours once they have the client brief, mood images, and material selections ready. The structured sections guide your writing so you are not starting from a blank page. Reusing your Materials and How we work sections across clients cuts the time down even further.
