The verdict in three sentences
In Luxembourg, an interior design studio website built by a local agency costs, as a 2026 order of magnitude, between 8 000 and 30 000 EUR, often with the photo shoot and art direction included. Kolonell delivers the portfolio, service pages, project enquiry flow and a native English version at a fixed price of 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR, but does not take the photos: for an interior studio, that is the line to budget separately with a Luxembourg photographer. The right choice therefore depends on what you already have: professional photos of your projects, or nothing.
This version is written for the English-speaking founders and partners of interior design studios in Luxembourg, many of whom work with an international clientele.
What does an interior studio website cost in Luxembourg?
These ranges are cautious orders of magnitude, not official figures. They rest on the public price grids of agencies in Luxembourg City and the Greater Region (Metz, Thionville, Arlon, Trier), on minimum project sizes shown on Clutch.co profiles, on hourly rates published by Luxembourg agencies (often 90 to 150 EUR per hour) and on rates visible on Malt and Upwork.
| Criterion | Luxembourg agency | Freelancer (Luxembourg or cross border) | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build, 2026 order of magnitude | 8 000 to 30 000 EUR | 2 500 to 9 000 EUR | 2 700 EUR / 4 500 EUR / 8 200 EUR, fixed price |
| Project photos | Often included or offered | Rarely | Not included: local photographer or existing photos |
| Usual timeline | 8 to 12 weeks | 4 to 10 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| Languages | French, English, German depending on the agency | Often one language | Native French and English (bilingual in Premium); German or Luxembourgish supplied or quoted |
| Copywriting | Sometimes an option | Rarely included | Included |
| Out of scope work | Often 90 to 150 EUR per hour | Often 50 to 90 EUR per hour | Quoted before work starts |
| Ownership | Check the contract | Check the contract | Domain in your name, all access handed over |
Payment is by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kickoff and 50 % at delivery. The project manager sets up Google Meet calls at your hour and sends a written update every week; the team is based in Senegal (GMT), one to two hours behind Luxembourg depending on the season. There are no in person meetings and no site visits. All packages are on our international offer.
An honest word about cross border freelancers: a freelancer in Metz or Arlon can deliver a decent portfolio for 3 000 EUR. What Kolonell adds is native French and English copywriting, a project manager, a written fixed price and the handover of all access, not a lower price.
What is the total budget over three years, photos included?
Scenario: a studio that wants a French and English site, 12 projects in the portfolio, one page per service (residential, offices, hospitality and restaurants) and a project enquiry form. Kolonell maintenance after the support period is quoted on request, so the table uses the same maintenance assumption on both sides.
| Item over 36 months | Luxembourg agency (mid range) | Kolonell Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Bilingual site build | 18 000 EUR | 8 200 EUR |
| Photos of 6 recent projects | Included in the agency quote | Local interiors photographer, 3 days at 1 200 EUR, 3 600 EUR |
| Post launch support | Per contract | 6 months included |
| Maintenance (identical assumption) | 110 EUR a month over 30 months, 3 300 EUR | 3 300 EUR, quoted on request |
| Adding 6 projects to the portfolio | 8 hours at 120 EUR, 960 EUR | Quoted before work, assumption 700 EUR |
| German version of key pages | 1 800 EUR | Professional translator, assumption 1 500 EUR |
| Indicative total | 24 060 EUR | 17 300 EUR |
The gap is smaller than in other sectors, precisely because photography weighs heavily. If you already have professional photos with a web licence, the Kolonell column drops to 13 700 EUR.
What does each package include for an interior studio?
| Element | Starter 2 700 EUR | Growth 4 500 EUR | Premium 8 200 EUR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portfolio | Gallery of 6 to 8 projects | Page per project: brief, constraints, materials | Detailed project pages filterable by type of space |
| Service pages | One summary page | One page per type of assignment | Pages per assignment and per client type (private, corporate, hospitality) |
| Project enquiry | Simple form | Form with type of space, floor area, deadline, budget | Detailed flow with plan uploads via a third party tool |
| Photo credits and rights | Credit under each image | Credit and licence mention | Credits, licences and a dedicated page |
| Journal or news | No | Simple section | Section with categories |
| Languages | One language | One language | Native French and English; German or Luxembourgish supplied or quoted |
| Support | 3 months | 3 months | 6 months |
A materials configurator, a client area to approve mood boards or a shop for objects is a bespoke application, quoted on request. Ongoing SEO is also quoted on request.
What do interior design clients expect in Luxembourg?
The Luxembourg clientele is highly international: finance and EU institution executives living in Kirchberg, Belair or Limpertsberg, families renovating a house in Strassen or Bertrange, companies fitting out offices at Cloche d'Or, restaurants and hotels refreshing their interiors. Many prospects read English or French first, some German; Luxembourgish reassures a local clientele. The prospect wants to see projects close to their own, understand your method and estimate a budget before calling.
What the site should show:
- Real, well photographed projects, with the type of space, floor area and constraints, never stock images presented as your work.
- An exact description of your qualifications: in Luxembourg, the interior architect profession is represented within the Order of Architects and Consulting Engineers (OAI). If you are not registered, check which title you may use (interior designer, decorator) before publishing.
- Photo rights: a photo of your work belongs to the photographer; check that the licence covers the web and social media. For a private home, get the owners' written consent and avoid any detail that would locate the house.
- A qualifying project enquiry, which spares you calls with no budget.

Compliance, kept factual. The GDPR applies and the CNPD is the Luxembourg supervisory authority; a project form should only collect what is necessary. The European Accessibility Act has applied since 28 June 2025 to certain products and services; depending on your activity it may not cover you directly, but aiming for WCAG 2.1 AA remains a sound reference. This is not legal advice.
Which red flags should you spot in quotes?
- A portfolio filled with stock images while waiting for your photos.
- No clause on the licence of photos produced by the agency or its photographer.
- A slow site because of unoptimised images: ask for the average weight of a project page.
- A professional title chosen by the agency without checking.
- A domain registered in the provider's name.
- Expensive "immersive animations" that slow down mobile browsing.
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Sophie L. founded a studio of four people in Limpertsberg, splitting its work between apartments for international executives and offices for small companies. She has professional photos of 5 projects with a web licence. A Luxembourg agency quotes 15 500 EUR, including a shoot of 3 projects, in 10 weeks. Kolonell proposes Growth at 4 500 EUR in French, and she books an interiors photographer for 2 days at 1 200 EUR, 2 400 EUR in total.
Kolonell total: 6 900 EUR, a difference of 8 600 EUR. If she adds English later by moving to a Premium structure, she plans the difference in next year's budget. The agency keeps a real advantage: it knows the photographers and can direct the shoot on site.
