Interior design & decoration tailored to you

The cost of hiring an interior designer varies depending on the scope, complexity and level of involvement required.

At Furnishd, our fees are structured around a transparent, fixed-fee model designed to provide clarity from the outset. Rather than charging open-ended hourly rates, we define the scope clearly and price accordingly. For 2026, our Design Curation service is priced at $1,050 for open-plan areas and $2,550 for a whole home, while the End-to-End Furnishing service begins at $1,250 for a single space or $4,850 for a full home.

For larger renovation or new-build projects, our Full-Service Interior Design fees are typically aligned proportionally (10~15%) with the overall project budget. This approach allows clients to make informed decisions early, understand where value is being created, and avoid unexpected costs as the project progresses.

Sydney’s interior design direction is moving toward spaces that feel relaxed, tactile and highly considered, reflecting both lifestyle and climate.

We’re seeing a growing preference for natural materials, layered textures and warmer, more nuanced palettes that soften contemporary architecture. Stone with expressive movement, refined timber detailing and handcrafted finishes are being favoured over highly polished or trend-driven surfaces.

Rather than following trends literally, many Sydney homeowners are gravitating toward residential interior design that feels timeless and grounded, prioritising longevity, comfort and how the home supports everyday living. At Furnishd, trends are always interpreted through context, ensuring each home interior design solution remains relevant well beyond the present moment.

Furnishd provides residential interior design services across the Greater Sydney region.

This includes inner-city and harbourside areas, eastern and northern suburbs, and selected metropolitan neighbourhoods. We work on a range of projects, from city apartments to private residences, tailoring our approach to suit both the site and the scope of each home interior design project.

While our process allows for efficient collaboration regardless of location, site visits and in-person coordination are incorporated where they add meaningful value to the design outcome.

Timelines vary depending on the scale and complexity of the project.

For furnishing-focused or decorative interior design projects, the design phase typically spans 2-6 weeks, followed by procurement and lead times that depend on selected materials and pieces. Full renovations or new builds require a longer planning horizon, particularly where custom joinery, bespoke furniture or construction coordination is involved.

We place strong emphasis on early planning and decision-making, as this is where timelines are best protected. Beginning the design process well ahead of key milestones allows for considered choices, realistic scheduling and a smoother overall experience.

Interior design involves far more than selecting individual pieces or finishes.

A professional interior designer provides structure, clarity and informed judgement across hundreds of interconnected decisions from spatial planning and scale to materials, detailing and procurement. This reduces decision fatigue, avoids costly mistakes and ensures the outcome feels cohesive and resolved.

At Furnishd, our role is to guide clients through complexity. We help prioritise what matters, question assumptions, and ensure each choice supports the long-term performance and liveability of the home, not just its initial appearance.
