135 | Turnkey Styling Services Your Clients Will Love

What makes turnkey interior design services unique, and how do they differ from full-service design?

In this episode, I break down turnkey styling—the extra layer of service that transforms an empty house into a completely livable home. Learn the difference between standard full-service design (which includes mood boards, floor plans, and furnishings) and turnkey services that add those final touches clients need to simply "turn the key" and move in.

I walk you through exactly what turnkey items to include in each room—from luxurious sheets and towels to kitchen essentials, decorative accessories, and organizational solutions.

I also share practical advice on sourcing these items, asking clients the right questions about their lifestyle needs, and even including a personal story about learning the importance of offering sheet selection to clients. You'll discover how offering these additional services not only delights your clients but can also become a valuable addition to your design business.

If you are looking for a roadmap for implementing turnkey styling in your design business, this episode is a must-listen. By the end, you'll understand how to anticipate your clients' every need and create a home that's truly ready for living from day one.
