Full-Service Interior Design

A cohesive vision, carried through every detail.

Comprehensive interior design for new construction, renovations and full-service furnishings in Metro Detroit, South Florida and beyond.

Your home shouldn't feel like a series of separate decisions.

A beautiful home isn't created by choosing a beautiful countertop, then a beautiful light fixture, then a beautiful sofa. It's created by understanding how all of those decisions relate to one another and carrying a clear point of view through the entire home.

We develop the overall design direction, think ahead to the decisions coming next and stay closely involved as the home takes shape, so you're not left trying to manage hundreds of individual choices on your own.

That's the role BDC takes on in a full-service project.

Three ways this takes shape

Every full-service project begins somewhere different.

New Construction

Design involvement from the decisions that shape the home to the details that finish it.

BDC works alongside your architect, builder and trades to develop a cohesive interior direction and carry it through cabinetry, materials, lighting, plumbing, interior detailing and other design decisions throughout the build.

Best time to engage
Ideally during architectural planning, or before major interior selections begin.

Renovations

A comprehensive design direction for homes being reimagined.

From layout and cabinetry to materials, fixtures, lighting and architectural details, BDC brings the individual pieces of a renovation together so the finished home feels intentional rather than assembled decision by decision.

Best time to engage
Before construction begins, and ideally before plans and major selections are finalized.

Full-Service Furnishings

A finished home, without spending the next two years furnishing it room by room.

BDC develops the furnishing direction for the home as a whole, including space planning, furniture, lighting, rugs, window treatments, art and accessories, then manages procurement and installation to bring everything together.

What full service actually means

We're not here for one decision. We're here to think about how all of them work together.

Design Direction
Overall aesthetic, palette, materials and the design language connecting the home.
Space + Architectural Details
Space planning, cabinetry, millwork and interior details within BDC's contracted scope.
Materials + Fixtures
Flooring, tile, countertops, lighting, plumbing, hardware, paint and other selections.
Furnishings
Furniture, rugs, lighting, window treatments, art, accessories and custom pieces as applicable.
Design Documentation
The drawings, schedules and specifications required to clearly communicate BDC's design intent within the contracted scope.
Project Collaboration
Ongoing communication with your architect, builder and trades on design-related matters throughout the project.
Procurement + Installation
For furnishing scopes, purchasing coordination, receiving and final installation.

Scope varies by project. The specific areas of work included in your engagement are defined in your proposal and Design Service Agreement.

How a project begins

A clear path from first inquiry to installed home.

01

Apply

Tell us about your home, scope, timing and investment.

02

Discovery

If the project appears to be a fit, we'll invite you to a complimentary discovery call.

03

Proposal + Onboarding

We'll develop a custom scope and design fee based on the level of involvement your project requires.

04

Design

BDC develops the vision and works through the design decisions in a structured sequence.

05

Implementation

We remain involved through the applicable construction, procurement and installation phases defined in your scope.

Thoughtfully designed. Deeply considered. Entirely personal.

Investment

Every full-service project is custom scoped and quoted based on the size, complexity and level of design involvement required.

For planning purposes, full-service furnishing projects typically begin around $10,000 in design fees, while comprehensive new construction and renovation engagements typically begin around $25,000–$30,000 in design fees and increase based on scope.

Furnishings, materials and construction costs are separate from BDC's design fees.

BDC accepts a limited number of full-service projects at a time so we can remain closely involved throughout the design process.
