If you're searching this, you've probably already sensed the honest answer: a full-service interior design remodel isn't a small-ticket item. At Devon Downs Design, our full-service projects — the kind that take a home from "almost there" to "this is exactly us" — begin at a $50,000 total project investment, inclusive of design fees and furnishings.
That number surprises people less than you'd think once they understand what it actually covers. Here's the breakdown.
What's Included in a Full-Service Interior Design Project
A full-service project with Devon Downs Design means we're managing the whole arc, start to finish — not just picking pretty things. That $50K minimum covers:
Design fees (structured as hourly + flat fee, per your signed agreement)
Furnishings, fixtures & equipment (FF&E) — the actual pieces that go in the home
Material, paint & fixture selections — every finish decision, made with intention
Procurement and contractor coordination — we manage the vendors so you don't have to
This is the difference between hiring a decorator to style a room and hiring a design partner to run the whole project. It's rad, honestly, watching a house go from a pile of Pinterest boards to a finished, layered, livable home — but that transformation takes real coordination behind the scenes.
Why Full-Scope Projects Have a Minimum

The $50,000 threshold isn't arbitrary. It reflects what it actually takes to deliver full-service design well: sourcing, project management, contractor coordination, and the countless small decisions that separate a "done" room from a genuinely well-designed one.
This minimum applies to whole-home or full-scope projects. If your project is smaller or more contained — a single room refresh, a design consult, a few key furniture decisions — our Designer-By-Your-Side hourly service may be the better fit. You get our styling expertise and mood boards; you manage the purchasing and installation yourself.
What Does the Process Actually Look Like?
Discovery call — a complimentary conversation about your vision, goals, and the realities of your space and family
Design concept — we translate that vision into a cohesive plan, blending classic, traditional, and vintage elements
Selections & procurement — every material, fixture, and furnishing sourced and managed
Installation — the final layer, where the house becomes home
Do You Work Outside of Dublin?
Yes. While Devon Downs Design is based in Dublin, Ohio, we regularly take on full-service projects throughout Powell, New Albany, Plain City, and the greater Central Ohio area. Our aesthetic — East Coast traditional, layered, timeless — travels well; it's not tied to one neighborhood's architecture.
