Usually they cost between $35-$100 per hour. A couple of options include:
- Contact your local college and see if a student of their interior design program can take on the project
- Contact your local furniture dealer and see if they offer in-home consultations
- Contact your local drapery company and see if one of their designers can meet with you
- Look for interior decorators (they typically are less expensive than designers)
Hope this helps.
It really depends on what part of the country you live in. I see a previous answer stated $ 35 to $100 dollars per hour, however in South Florida for example you would be hard pressed to find any real and educated designer for that price. Price usually ranges around $100 to $250 an hour depending on their experience and and project type.
Do your research and be sure you hire a professional, after all this is your home and you wan to be happy with the end result.

Considering the price of furniture, it won’t be much. Starting on several hundreds for small project
