31.07.2019

World famous designers such as Richard Rogers, Arne Quinz or Karim Rashid have not only become gurus in their profession, but have also opened their own design studios. Each of them earned a fortune and ensured financial well-being for their descendants.

And how are things in our country? How much do interior designers earn in Russia? Is the salary of an interior designer fair in our homeland, and what does it depend on?

Consider what the employer pays attention to, and after what time the profession will provide stable income. Favorite business can not only please, but also bring big money.

A little about the profession or what does a designer get paid for?

The profession of an interior designer is rightly considered to be in demand. It is paid only a little less than, for example, the work of an architect or a fashion designer.

According to statistics, 64% of all designers in our country are young people under the age of 35. At the same time, representatives of the weaker sex among them as much as 82%.

Despite the creative nature, the profession involves a wide range of responsibilities:

Development, creation and 3D visualization of a design project drawing.
The choice of a general stylistic direction for the room.
Calculation of the volume and cost of building and finishing materials.
Joint purchase with the customer (at the request of the latter) of building and finishing materials, decor, furniture, etc.
Development of copyright modifications of furniture, transfer of sketches to production.
Architectural supervision of construction and finishing works.
Room decoration.
Participation in professional design exhibitions.

Each stage of work must be agreed with the customer. This is where the designer's communication skills come in handy.

What factors affect the income of a designer?

Design is a creative business, but how to become an established and sought-after designer? Artistic talent and creative thinking are not enough. If you want to achieve success and financial independence, possession of many additional skills is a prerequisite.

A specialist must have the skills of an architect, artist, engineer, foreman, interior designer, constructor and many other specialties. In addition, the salary of an interior designer largely depends on such qualities as diligence, punctuality, contact, patience and loyalty, the ability to compromise.

Salaries for creative people are rarely stable, which is also true for designers. The level of income depends on the following factors:

The presence of higher education, preferably received in a large well-known university.
Knowledge of specialized software: AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, 3DS Max, etc.
Work experience and a good portfolio with many pages.
Number of orders and time allocated for work.
Fame and reputation.
The locality in which the specialist carries out his activities.
The prestige of the company in which he works.
Craftsmanship, creativity and productivity.

The earnings of an interior designer, however, as well as a designer of clothes, furniture or landscape in Europe, Australia and the USA are much higher than in Russia.

Perfectly knowing the language and being a professional in his field, in major cities and capitals, you can receive income in the amount of 35 - 40 to 95 - 105 thousand dollars a month.

Minimum, average and maximum designer salary: statistics for Russia

How much an interior designer earns per month largely depends on which city in Russia you plan to work in. If you want to maximize income, you should look for work in the Moscow region, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar or Novosibirsk.

The starting salary for beginners as a designer is only 10 thousand rubles. The average and maximum salary is 40 and 120, respectively.

According to statistics for 2016, the highest paid vacancies are offered to specialists in the Moscow region. There, the average income varies around 60 thousand rubles.

How much does an interior designer earn in Moscow? According to statistics, the maximum salary in Moscow reaches 125 thousand rubles. Slightly smaller amounts are offered by employers in St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg.

The maximum number of vacancies in the field of interior design is open in St. Petersburg and for representatives of the profession from Moscow. The Krasnodar Territory takes an honorable third place.

But this does not mean that the homeland lacks interior designers. The specialty is quite popular: on average, seven and a half people apply for one vacancy in the country.

The good news is that the wages of designers are also growing. If in 1998 the salary was only from 2 to 8 thousand rubles, then according to the data for 2016, it increased to 20-60 thousand rubles.

So, let's open the veil of secrecy - how much they earn in St. Petersburg and other cities of Russia.

How to learn to earn more or who employers want to see

The average salary of an interior designer largely depends on the compliance with the wishes that the employer indicates for job seekers. These requirements are always clearly formulated and there are quite a lot of them even for beginners.

For beginners, these are:

Knowledge of the basics of the profession, including the ability to work with different styles.
Spatial thinking skills.
Ability to design.
Ability to draw by hand.
Ability to work with the necessary programs on a PC (MS Office and specialized software).

The most important criteria that will help increase the salary:

Higher education

Any employer wants to see graduates of specialized faculties of universities in their team. The good reputation of the institution, as well as studying abroad, are considered a big plus. Equally important is the knowledge of specialized literature.

In most cases, the profession requires a diploma. Although, according to statistics, about 19% of interior designers higher education missing. In the event that you are nevertheless hired after school or courses, the salary will be less than that of a specialist of the same level, but with education.

experience

Also, what salary an interior designer has is related to the presence or absence of seniority and experience. The higher the work experience and the more large projects in the resume, the more likely it is that you will be hired by a serious studio.

Place of work

It is important to understand that working in a company also implies the presence of some disadvantages. The salary depends on how the organization itself earns and how many orders and customers it has. Plus, the salary of a specialist includes only 20 - 30% percent of each completed project.

As a freelancer, it is possible to receive 100% cash. Experienced designers are quite capable of earning about 3 thousand dollars a month in this way.

At the same time, running this kind of business on your own requires some skills. In the studio, you do not have to look for orders, advertise yourself or negotiate with clients, the company pays taxes and deductions in the Pension Fund for you. A freelancer is forced to spend his own time and money on this. At the same time, it's nice to feel like you're working for yourself.

Many wealthy people appreciate exclusive clothes and individual interiors. In this regard, creative professions are in high demand. And it is important for novice specialists to get an answer to the question about how much you can earn by choosing the specialty of an interior or clothing designer?

interior designer income

The salary of an interior designer is rarely fixed. It depends on several factors:

reputation
experience;
skill;
creativity;
productivity.

A professional designer at least needs a higher education in the specialty. Customers' trust in such an employee is initially higher than in people who have completed intensive training courses.

Interior designers who do not have much experience will not immediately be able to claim decent fees. First of all, you need to understand the specifics of the profession, while at the same time earning a decent reputation for yourself.

The salary in Russia for those wishing to start activities in the field of interior design is 20,000 rubles. In turn, designers with a good portfolio are especially in demand in the labor market. The level of their remuneration is set from 40,000 rubles.

Young professionals who have recently come to work in this area are offered at least 25,000 rubles in Moscow. Designers with experience can get a salary of over 50,000 rubles. A large companies and they promise more than 80,000 rubles to a worthy applicant.

It is better to start a career in a respectable company. This will provide a stable income and permanent employment. But do not forget that the designer in such cases receives no more than 30% of the cost of orders.

In addition, you can provide services for the design of premises on your own by organizing individual entrepreneurship. How much the designer earns in the end depends only on the efforts made by him, professionalism and the number of orders.

clothing designer salary

The remuneration of the fashion designer is unstable and depends on:

product positioning;
quality characteristics of materials;
brand;
performance.

Specialists have to compete with more affordable ordinary people shops where prices are much lower. Clothing designers are not in demand in all regions of Russia. In cities with a small population, there is practically no decent income. For example, in the Vladimir region, fashion industry specialists are not required at all. You can only get a job as a seamstress, which is unlikely to satisfy a creative person.

Any fashion designer at the start of his career should participate in competitions and shows, try to be remembered by his potential clients for his unique style and quality of work. This will help you find regular customers and ensure good earnings.

It is better to start your way in fashion design in a team of professionals. Well-known fashion designers offer to graduate from their own schools and laboratories. For example, Vyacheslav Zaitsev provides an opportunity to be trained in his studio. After such a school, a fashion designer can easily find a well-paid job.

In the regions, the work of a specialist is estimated at 15,000 - 20,000 rubles. If you have experience, the salary increases to 35,000 - 40,000 rubles. In Moscow, the fees are much higher. Young specialists are offered from 40,000 rubles. Fashion designers who have long been engaged in the design and tailoring of clothes can get a good job. Large fashion houses sometimes require chief designers. Salary starts from 160,000 rubles.

You can work for yourself. To do this, you need to interest customers in your services. Because the number of orders directly depends on how much the specialist will receive for the work done.

The remuneration for the work of domestic couturiers is significantly inferior to the fees of Western colleagues. Purchasing power in Russia is falling, few can afford expensive clothes. Specialists have to find a balance between materials and income of the audience of potential customers. Even top fashion designers are seeing declines in sales.

How much a clothing or interior designer will receive for his work depends on him. In order for customers to give expensive work, it is necessary to create a good reputation, and the specifics of the profession require constant study fashion trends and following them. At the same time, the chance of finding a well-paid job in Moscow is higher than in the regions.

The Village continues to find out how much they earn and what they spend money on different professions. In the new issue - interior designer. The income of representatives of this profession depends on the number of ordered projects and agreements on commission with furniture and building materials sellers. The fall in the income of Russians has had a strong impact on this market: our heroine now earns half as much as a year earlier. We learned from her how she works and what she spends money on.

How to become an interior designer

Since childhood, I liked to engage in creativity in different manifestations. She was fond of not just drawing, but voluminous paper layouts, origami. At the age of nine, I got into a children's architectural and art studio, where I successfully studied for six years. I have the warmest memories of my studies. As I understand now, it is very rare when teachers empathize and support students so much. The studio was able to give not only a sense of taste and knowledge of art history, but also patience and perseverance, which later came in very handy at the university.

In high school, I dreamed of finishing school as soon as possible and enrolling in the architecture department of a university in my city. It felt like I was wasting my time at school. For the entire 11th grade, I was preparing for applicant courses - twice a week for three hours there was a drawing, on Sundays - mathematics. In the summer, drawing classes continued every other day for three to six hours. At the Faculty of Architecture always big competition. For admission, you must pass two exams in drawing for six hours each and a test in mathematics. I barely passed the points for the budget form of education.

The training itself was not easy. I was surprised by acquaintances from other universities who still worked full-time from the second or third year. Architectural higher education is considered one of the most difficult. Duration - six years of full-time education.

Classical education usually does not include training computer programs. If a person wants to become a designer, they will have to take a 3D visualization course at least. Otherwise, as one of my supervisors said, working in your specialty is much more useful than additional training in a fashionable school. After moving to Moscow, I just wanted to enter the same school with an international diploma, but changed my mind.

In general, design education is very subjective, and because of the high demand, the quality of education is declining. There are no professional standards and licenses, so you can complete some second-rate courses and be called a designer. One-day webinars, seminars, meetings with famous designers. Sharing experiences and networking with peers can be really rewarding.

But for a designer, the main thing is a portfolio. Orders depend on the quality and quantity of work done. With student papers, few will consider a candidate. Of course, in addition to this, the ability to communicate is also important.

Features of work

Now I have been working as a designer for two years with an architect friend. When you work together, ideas are even more carefully selected, everything superfluous is cut off. In the process of joint activities, the division of responsibilities occurred by itself. I am mainly engaged in the selection of furniture, materials, decor, negotiations with customers, communication with sales managers for the purchase of equipment for the facility, filling content and portfolios in social networks and thematic sites. The partner is engaged in the design of a planning solution, technical drawings, 3D visualization.

Stages of work on the project are standard. Preliminary there is a meeting-acquaintance with the customer, a discussion of the project and wishes, a technical task is drawn up, an agreement is signed. But more often all this is already combined with a visit to the object for detailed measurements of the apartment.

Then the first and fundamental stage of the design project is the creation of a planning solution, because without a competent and convenient layout v beautiful interior will make little sense. This is one of the most interesting stages of work. We usually offer several drastically different options. After that, usually one of them is finalized according to the wishes of the customer. The second stage of work is 3D visualization. On it you can see a picture of the interior as a whole. Real furniture, materials and fixtures are selected. Before starting work, we discuss with the customer the favorite analogues of interiors and colors. The last, third stage is working drawings. It includes detailed diagrams location of electrical and plumbing fixtures, doorways, bill of materials. So that the builders and you do not have any difficulties in the repair process.

The next step is the design process. The success of this stage depends on many factors. If the planned budget for repairs is clearly discussed, there is no constant throwing from side to side, the project has been fully agreed and approved by all family members, and a more or less qualified and experienced construction team has been hired for repairs, then problems should not arise.

My working day usually starts with answering emails e-mail and social media posts. It takes some time. Most of the time it takes to search for analogues of selected items of furniture or materials at the request of the customer or in case of problems with the timing / cost. Then I usually contact the sales managers to remind them of the promised proforma invoices or to discuss any questions that have arisen. Sometimes only in the late afternoon it turns out to do current projects. It happens that I spend the whole day with the customer on the road to select materials and furniture. The congestion is seasonal: summer is the hottest time. During this time, I sometimes hire assistants to do visualizations.

In Moscow the competition is very strong. There are probably several thousand interior designers. For example, there are two more designers with the same last name and first name as mine in the capital. But many occupy their niche, a certain target audience. For example, our customers are mostly young couples aged 30-35, the budget for repairs is small, but they are open to everything new and modern.

For small design studios or private designers, word of mouth is relevant. Since the design and renovation of an apartment is a responsible and rather personal matter, people often turn to recommendations from relatives or acquaintances. In addition to this and paid advertising, there are different ways attracting customers. There are many thematic sites where you can post a portfolio and participate in discussions, consultations, and write articles.

The cost range of a design project is 1,200–1,600 rubles per square meter depending on the scope of work and area. The complete project includes 3D visualization, working drawings and selection of the entire configuration. After completing the design project, it is advisable to plan joint trips with the customer to furniture and materials showrooms. Usually one or two is enough to see live how everything fits together, and in which case to pick up analogues. The cost of the trip is 3,500 rubles, and usually takes six to eight hours.

A design project is a constant dialogue between a customer and a designer. The participation of the client is very important, as the interior is always individual. Each family has its own wishes and view on future home. Many customers develop friendly relations.

Of course, there are unusual wishes of customers. In one bedroom for a girl, the use of effect ceilings was a prerequisite starry sky, a round four-poster bed and an electric fireplace. And other clients asked to build a safe for storing documents in a closet in the laundry room. On the first floor apartment building in the historical part of the city there was a desire to make a basement with a rest room and a bathroom (the Moscow Housing Inspection did not agree on such changes). Once, customers were asked to rely on the scheme and recommendations of Vastu (the Indian analogue of Feng Shui).

Salary

Earnings are very different, as the payment is piecework. Maybe 20 thousand, and 200 thousand rubles a month. On average, over the past year, about 80 thousand rubles a month came out, if we consider a two-month vacation as paid. I know this for sure, because for the convenience of calculating income and expenses I use a special application. The total amount consists not only of the payment for the design project. There are also such income items as architectural supervision, interest from the sale of author's 3D models, writing articles, affiliate programs of suppliers. Sometimes designers offer, for example, furniture by agreement with the supplier. As a rule, normal designers make sure that these prices are beneficial for the customer, and do not cheat from above. In this case, the designer receives 2–5% from the supplier - for example, he gets 20–50 thousand from the entire assembly of an object worth a million rubles. Funny money. But for a designer, it is more profitable and more interesting to lead the entire project from scratch to its full implementation.

This year, the work has become less, and customers have become more selective and demanding. In recent months, income has halved: now it is about 40 thousand rubles. But I like that I have free time. I hope that in the summer - during the season of repairs - everything will be restored.

10 thousand rubles a month are spent on housing - we rent a "kopeck piece" for three. I drive a young man's car, it takes 2,000 rubles for gasoline. I spend most of my time at home, I eat mostly at home too. Spending on food - about 10 thousand rubles. Of the last major expenses - a driving school for 60 thousand rubles and braces for 140 thousand rubles. I plan to buy reflex camera for 55 thousand rubles to try your hand at interior photography of your projects. To print projects on A3 in color, I have already purchased an inkjet printer for 10 thousand rubles. Sometimes samples of materials, tinting fans of paints from different manufacturers are needed for work.

In my spare time I ride a bike, rollerblading, snowboarding. I like to just walk around Moscow, now some innovations are constantly appearing: parks, pedestrian zones, bike paths are being ennobled. This makes me incredibly happy as a designer! Just dreams become reality - beautiful pictures of the urban environment and landscape design come to life.

I like to go on vacation for a long time - for two, four, six weeks, because it's hard to see something in a week. Just have time to take a break from the flight, and fly again. In addition, the cost of a flight is usually a significant expense item in a trip. Over the past two years, she has traveled to the UAE, Israel, Jordan, Abkhazia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and India. 90% of the time I prefer solo travel organized tours. It is often possible to find promotions with cheap tickets. The cheapest tickets are to Israel on the Red Sea coast for 1,500 rubles round-trip. It turns out to have a rest basically only on a trip, since during normal hours work is almost seven days a week. So I try to go somewhere more often. I hope to travel around Russia with a tent this year.

The salary of designers varies depending on the direction, skills and education, location. For example, an expert in landscape design receives 120,000, and an interior designer - 100,000. A beginner can receive about 15,000, and the job will become profitable only if you have experience, in this case, the salary can be 150,000 rubles and even more, it depends on specialization.

For this specialist, the following knowledge and skills are important:

fundamentals of ecology and botany;
principles of geodesy, construction;
Knowledge of Corel Draw, Photoshop and others.

The starting salary in some regions ranges from 20 to 30,000 rubles per project. Closer to Moscow, you can take 60,000.

But, sadly, not everyone manages to find a job with a high salary, first of all, this is due to the high competition in the labor market. A freshman with a recent college or college graduate shouldn't expect to earn more than $30,000 a month.

To earn good money you need experience starting from 3 years.

Interior designer

Interior design work is in demand and well paid, no less than the work of an architect, for example. The work of interior designers usually consists of:

project development;
drawing up drawings;
sketching;
online consultations;
decoration;
control over the entire process of creating an interior;
calculation of the material and its cost.

Again, work experience is of great importance, so a less experienced designer has an income of no more than 25,000, in Moscow the amount reaches 38,000.

Those who have completed more than a dozen successful projects can earn up to 100,000 per month. Payment by region is shown below:

Game designer

Since games became popular, the need for people who can create the game world, fantastic animals and creatures has increased. You need to have knowledge of computer graphics and understand the motion industry. Pay will depend on experience and region.

The average salary in Russia is 45,000, for a senior specialist - 80,000.

Also, the specifics of the game designer's actions will affect the income. For example, an illustrator receives from 60,000 to 120,000, and a layout designer from 40,000 to 80,000. While a 3D designer's salary ranges from 50,000 to 150,000.

Salary of game designers in 2018:

The profession is in demand, but not so relevant for some regions. For example, in the Vladimir region, such specialists are not required at all. Education and knowledge will not be enough, talent and taste are needed here.

If the designer works in a small studio, then the earnings will be no more than 30,000 rubles per month.

In larger firms, according to average statistics, the salary reaches 100,000.

Now let’s take a closer look at how much fashion designers earn:

Web designers

This includes graphic designers who do not have to go to the office, so most professionals in this field work remotely.

Web designers develop websites, accounts for various companies and even large firms. Their earnings will depend on the client base, experience, education and portfolio.

The advantage for graphic designers will be the ability to create miui.

The salary will vary from 20,000 to 70,000 rubles, depending on the complexity of the order. For example, you can make an avatar for 500 rubles, and a larger project, a landing page, already costs 1,500-3,000.

Portfolio

This is the calling card of any designer. Here is what information is placed in the portfolio:

illustrations of previously completed projects;
mandatory job description;
resume, where experience, education, reviews are indicated;
personal information about yourself.

Almost all designers can go freelancing, vacancies can be found on special exchanges or in social networks, on job search sites via the Internet. But we advise you to remember that it is better for beginners to take less paid jobs in order to gain the necessary experience.

Depending on the request of the customer, the amount of payment can be from 500 to 3,000 per project.

For many, it will be preferable to work in an office, with a fixed schedule and rest 2 times a year. Which, of course, will be different from freelancing, where the designer works on a free schedule remotely. In the office, payment can reach from 40,000 to 100,000 per month.

Payment abroad

If a designer knows a foreign language like a native one, he can try himself on foreign exchange sites. In the US, design specialists are more valuable, and earnings are an order of magnitude higher.

The salary of a designer abroad is $300-600 per hour.

Knowing all the basics and understanding what industry the designer works in, you can plan your income, which will depend on some factors:

availability of higher education;
knowledge of the principles of work;
design skill;
freehand drawing;
knowledge of programs and the ability to work with them.

Recall that the earnings of any designer will depend on experience, talent, education. A young specialist in this sense will not be so lucky, since he has not developed a client base, has not thought out his own style. If a beginner works in an office, then he is unlikely to be entrusted with a large project, again, due to lack of experience.

The designer is no longer a new, but very relevant profession. An experienced and talented specialist will help create a unique project. He can emphasize individual style your dwelling, country house or create a unique style in clothes.

To become a good specialist, it is not enough to have good taste. First of all, you need to get an appropriate education, preferably higher. After all good designer combines an artist, stylist, architect, foreman and designer. You will also need to be proficient in certain computer programs.

How much does a designer earn different areas activities? What kind of designers are there and how is the work of creative people valued?

How does a designer work?

The salary of a designer largely depends on how exactly he works. Professionals of this kind can make a living in several ways:

freelance - independent work, without boss, alarm clock and Monday;
work in private firm or agency at the rate;
organizing your own design agency.

If you want to work only for yourself and not depend on the whims of your superiors, the first option will suit you. There are many exchanges that offer one-time orders with a good pay for the result. To take advantage of the offer, you need to register on the site, make a small portfolio of your work and apply for work. The customer will contact you, after which it will be possible to discuss all the details of the work and agree on payment.

You do not want to spend a lot of time searching for a customer on your own? It is worth paying attention to design agencies. The average salary of a designer in a small private company can be 50-80 thousand rubles. If you have good experience and you know how to "sell" yourself, you can count on working in a larger organization. There the salary of a designer can be 100-150 thousand and even more. Working in an office has its advantages. Interesting projects and the sea of communication is provided to you. In addition, you do not have to "bother" the search for customers. Providing you with work is the task of management.

If you want to earn even more, you will have to organize your own company. There is no upper limit for earning income. Everything will depend on how quickly you can get on your feet and earn yourself a good reputation in this market segment. The better you work, the more "fat" clients will come to you.

Web designer and graphic artist

One of the most popular areas in this area is the web or such people can easily help you develop business cards, websites, landing pages, posters, avatars, and even develop a corporate identity for any organization.

How much a designer of this kind earns depends on several factors:

Diverse and high quality portfolio. A potential client must understand the level of your skills.
The average price for services of this kind - you should not overestimate the price for services too much, this will scare away customers. But you shouldn't charge too low a price either. Of course, this will attract more customers to you, but very soon you will get tired of sitting around the clock for miserable pennies.
Time taken to complete an order. How much a designer earns directly depends on how much he works. If you take one order a week, you will not see big incomes.

landscape designer

Another fairly popular profession - landscape designer. The salary of such a specialist also depends on many factors. Good specialist landscape has recently been valued more and more. This is due to the fact that many families, tired of the bustle of the city, tend to move to nature, which means they are faced with the need to equip the local area.

If your profession is "landscape designer", the salary will depend on which region you work in. In some regions, the price for such services ranges from 20 to 30 thousand rubles per project. In the nearest suburbs, you can already ask for 50-60 thousand rubles for one farmstead. And if you can not only create beautiful picture from flowers, trees and fountains, and you understand construction, geodesy, water supply and other areas of activity, then your earnings can rise to 100-120 thousand. And if you can work not only efficiently, but also quickly, you should try to manage two or three projects at the same time. Earnings in this case will increase proportionally.

Interior Design

Such specialists most often work not on their own, but in collaboration with a design studio. Therefore, their salary is usually fixed and depends on experience, length of service and the number of successfully completed projects.

Beginners can count on a salary of no more than 20-25 thousand rubles in the periphery and about 38 thousand in the capital. More experienced specialists with higher education in this area and who independently completed more than a dozen projects can count on a salary of 80-100 thousand Russian rubles per month.

Fashion designer

The salary of a fashion designer depends on the level of the company in which he works. Small firms will offer 25-30 rubles per month. Salaries in large metropolitan firms can reach up to one hundred thousand.

Only a small number of specialists in this field of activity can afford to create and promote author's fashion collections and create under own name. Most still work "for their uncle."

How much does a designer earn abroad?

Everything we've talked about before is about Russian market services. And how much does a designer "for them" earn?

Here, to all the above skills, you will have to add excellent knowledge of the language. Just colloquial will not work here. After all, you will have to discuss in detail with the customer all the nuances of the future project.

Now about the salary. By our standards, it is, one might say, transcendental. For example, an American graphic designer or web specialist can earn between 38,000 and 105,000 greenbacks per month. An interior designer in Australia can claim the average monthly wages 75-80 thousand "American presidents".

Advertising agencies in major cities in many countries charge by the hour. It ranges from 320 to 585 dollars for one hour of work. Not bad, right? Looking at such proposals, it is safe to say that the designer is not only a very interesting, but also quite a profitable profession.
