How Much Does a Full-Service Luxury Interior Designer Cost?
Mr. Interiors Design Studio is a New York–based interior design atelier serving clients across New York, New Jersey, the Hamptons, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Florida, including Miami. Whether the project is a Manhattan apartment, a Hamptons coastal home, a Brooklyn townhouse, or a Miami condo, investment falls into one of three defined ranges — based on scope, square footage, and how much of the process (planning, sourcing, procurement, installation) the studio fully manages.
Quick answer: Full-service interior design with Mr. Interiors generally starts at $5,000 and can extend to $50,000+, depending on scope. Clients without a set budget in mind are not excluded — the initial consultation is used to define scope and investment together.
Project Investment Ranges
These are the same ranges used during project intake and in the studio's contact form budget selector. They apply across the studio's specializations — Commercial, Residential, Apartments, Townhouse, and Single Family Home — in every market the studio serves.
| Budget Range | What Determines Fit |
|---|---|
| $5,000–$15,000 | Smaller-scope engagements within the studio's Residential, Apartments, Townhouse, or Single Family Home specializations — fewer rooms or a lighter level of full-process management (planning, sourcing, procurement, installation). |
| $15,000–$25,000 | Mid-scope projects — typically more rooms, more customization in selections, or a property (apartment, condo, townhouse) requiring more coordinated sourcing and installation. |
| $25,000–$50,000+ | Larger-scope engagements such as full-unit renovations, high-rise condos, townhouses, or single-family estates, where the studio manages planning, curated sourcing, procurement, and installation end-to-end as one coordinated system. |
Clients who don't have a fixed number in mind aren't excluded from working with the studio — the initial consultation is used to define scope and investment together.
What Affects Your Price
Every project — apartment, townhouse, single-family home, or commercial space — is priced based on the same set of factors:
- Scope of the space — Commercial, Residential, Apartments, Townhouse, or Single Family Home (the studio's stated specializations)
- How much of the process is fully managed — planning, sourcing, procurement, and installation handled end-to-end versus a lighter-touch engagement
- Square footage and number of rooms involved in the project
- Level of customization in selections versus curated, pre-vetted options
- Property type — a Manhattan high-rise, a Hamptons coastal estate, a Brooklyn pre-war co-op, and a Miami condo each carry different planning and coordination requirements
Why Full-Service Costs More Than Piecemeal Sourcing
A designer who hands off sourcing, procurement, and installation to separate vendors is not pricing the same service as a studio that manages the entire process under one team. Mr. Interiors is structured around the second model: the studio treats every project as a complete system rather than a collection of individual pieces, so planning, curated selection, and execution happen under one accountable team rather than a patchwork of vendors and handoffs.
That structure is guided by founder Samantha Abrams, who studied real estate at the NYU–Schack Institute of Real Estate and is a licensed real estate professional. Her technical foundation in how spaces are developed and used informs how the studio approaches layout, functionality, and long-term livability — the kind of planning discipline that reduces costly mid-project changes.
The Studio's Process (What You're Actually Paying For)
- Intelligent planning — every project is treated as a complete system, not a collection of individual pieces.
- Curated selection — clients are presented with a refined set of options rather than endless choices, reducing decision fatigue and revision cycles.
- Decisive, hands-on execution — from concept through installation, under one team, in a design language that is clean, restrained, and architectural, often informed by mid-century modern principles.

- The studio's specializations — Commercial, Residential, Apartments, Townhouse, and Single Family Home — span the property types most common across its markets: New York, New Jersey, the Hamptons, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Florida, including Miami.
