Short answer: bathroom designers typically charge $50 to $250 per hour, and most full bathroom design projects fall between $3,000 and $12,000, depending on the size of the room and the level of detail (HomeAdvisor, 2026). At LV Home Concept, the first step is a $450 design consultation, credited toward your design project when you move forward.
What bathroom design costs, by room
National cost data breaks the price down by the kind of bathroom being designed (HomeAdvisor, 2026):
| Bathroom type | Typical design cost |
|---|---|
| Powder room | $1,000 to $3,000 |
| Guest bathroom | $2,000 to $6,000 |
| Primary bathroom | $4,000 to $12,000 |
| Luxury bathroom | $10,000 to $25,000+ |
Another national estimate puts the starting cost to create bathroom designs at about $2,350 to $2,849 per design as of September 2026 (Homewyse). Local guides for Las Vegas list designers in a similar hourly range of about $50 to $200 (Homeyou, 2026).
These figures cover the design only. The cost to build the bathroom is a separate number that your licensed contractor prices from the finished plan.
What drives the cost of bathroom design
- Layout changes: keeping the tub, shower, toilet and vanity where they are is simpler to design than moving them.
- Size and number of rooms: a single powder room is a smaller job than a primary suite with a walk-in shower and a double vanity.
- Level of detail: a selection list costs less than full drawings, tile layouts, a lighting plan and 3D renderings.
- Custom elements: built-in storage, niches and custom vanities take more design time.
- Revisions: how many rounds of changes are included in the fee.
What a bathroom design package includes
A complete design gives your contractor everything needed to price the job on one clear plan:
- A floor plan and layout for the vanity, shower, tub and toilet
- Vanity, cabinet, tile, countertop and fixture selections
- A lighting plan for the mirror, shower and general light
- 3D renderings so you see the finished room before anything is ordered or built
In Las Vegas, we also plan for very hard water from the start, choosing finishes and glass that stay easier to keep clean. Read more in our guide to designing for Las Vegas hard water.
How we work
Our bathroom design starts with a $450 design consultation: 90 minutes at your home or our Las Vegas studio with a LiDAR scan of the room, led by an AKBD-certified designer (NKBA) with 18+ years of experience. If you continue, the $450 is credited toward your design project.
We focus on design only. You receive a design package with layout, selections, a lighting plan and 3D renderings that your own licensed contractor can price and build from. Always check a contractor's license with the Nevada State Contractors Board before signing, and see Designer or contractor first? for the order that works best.
