Why scripts, not just a mood board
Interior design projects run over weeks or months, with proposals, sourcing decisions, and payments spread across the timeline. Clear, well-timed messages keep clients engaged and protect you financially when custom orders are involved. The generator above covers six common situations: no-shows, deposit requests, booking confirmations, quote follow-ups, late payments, and review asks.
Fill in the client’s name, job price, and date, and every template updates live. Copy the one that fits and adjust the tone to your brand.
Quote follow-ups
Design decisions often involve more than one decision-maker in the household. A follow-up that references the specific rooms and scope — rather than just checking in — gives the client something concrete to discuss and respond to.
Deposit requests
Once you start sourcing furniture or placing custom orders, you’re financially exposed if the client backs out. A deposit before sourcing begins protects that investment.
Review requests
The reveal is the highest point of client satisfaction in the whole project. Asking for a review right then — while the space is fully styled — produces far better, more detailed reviews than asking weeks later.
Frequently asked questions
How do I follow up on an interior design proposal?
Reference the specific rooms and scope you proposed, and follow up within a few days — design decisions often involve a spouse or partner, so a gentle nudge gives them room to discuss it without feeling rushed.
Should interior designers require a deposit before sourcing furniture?
Yes — since you're often committing to custom orders or vendor purchases on the client's behalf, a deposit before sourcing protects you from being out of pocket if the client changes their mind mid-project.
When should a designer ask for a review?
Right after the reveal, when the space is fully styled and the client is seeing it finished for the first time — that emotional high point produces the most enthusiastic, detailed reviews.
