How much does it cost?
Each project varies in complexity and level of detail needed. Understanding this, we typically calculate our fee as a percentage of the anticipated interior cost. This generates a lump sum fee, which we breakdown into the multiple stages of the work required. A lump sum fee is generally fixed for the duration of our contract with our Clients, irrespective of minor alterations to the construction value of the project.(For an official quote please contact us at info@katharinaklotz.com

What is the difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator, and how does KLOTZ INTERIOR DESIGN approach interior architecture?
This is a common question as designer and decorator are often mistaken for being the same thing, but please note that these fields are not interchangeable. An interior decorator focuses primarily on aesthetics, selecting color schemes, furniture, and decor to create a visually pleasing environment. An interior designer, on the other hand, delves deeper into the functional aspects of a space, how it interacts with the occupants, and often collaborates on structural changes and layouts. At KLOTZ INTERIOR DESIGN, we go a step further into the realm of interior architecture. Interior architecture is defined as the art and science of understanding people’s behavior to create functional spaces within a building. Our approach is holistic, combining both design and architectural expertise to transform spaces in a way that aligns with the client's needs and lifestyle. We observe the existing issues in a space and devise tailored solutions that not only enhance aesthetic appeal but also optimize functionality. Whether it's a hospitality project or a residential space, KLOTZ INTERIOR DESIGN is committed to delivering bespoke design solutions that stand apart in both form and function.
