So You Want to be an Interior Designer

About So You Want to be an Interior Designer

Hosted by interior designer Adam Scougall, Turnkey Design Talk is a podcast for solo interior designers and decorators who want to run calmer, more controlled businesses — and finish projects properly. The show focuses on what actually makes the difference in a design career: how projects are led, how boundaries are set, how decisions are made, and how work is brought to a confident, photo-worthy close. This isn’t about trends or overnight success. It’s about taking responsibility for the outcome — from the first client yes through to the final reveal. If you care about delivering beautifully finished homes, creating genuine wow moments for your clients, and building a business that works on your terms, you’re in the right place. https://www.instagram.com/adamscougall | |

   Something happened to me recently that made me stop and think about what it actually feels like to be on the other side of our businesses. In this episode, I’m talking about the difference between intention and experience — and how something as simple as poor communication can make a client feel forgotten, even when you’re working incredibly hard behind the scenes. I share a real experience that triggered the conversation, a designer-client relationship that suddenly blew up, and the simple F...
