02 / FULL ROOM DESIGN

Full Room Design

COMPREHENSIVE FULL ROOM DESIGN STARTING AT $1,495

For spaces that need to be considered as a whole.

Full Room Design looks beyond individual furnishings to develop a complete interior concept. From how you move through a room to the scale of its furniture, the balance of materials and the placement of each detail, the design is built around the way your space looks, feels and functions.

Selections begin with the needs of the room, not a particular retailer. Alongside established furniture brands, I explore vintage and secondhand pieces, independent makers, specialty dealers and original artwork when they suit your preferences, budget and timeline. Each choice is made for how it contributes to the larger composition.

You'll work directly with me throughout the project, from establishing the initial direction to refining the details. During a private, live walkthrough of your 3D model, we'll explore the proposed room together, talk through the decisions behind it and make space for your questions and feedback. I want you to feel involved in the process, not simply handed a finished design.

Once the design is finalized, you'll receive a comprehensive Design Dossier with photorealistic views, curated selections, spatial plans and room-specific placement guidance. It's a clear reference for bringing the room together at your own pace, with support for questions about the final design after delivery.

Pricing begins at $1,495 for a single room. Open-concept and multi-zone spaces are quoted according to project scope.

03 / STYLING + SOURCING

Styling + Sourcing

CURATED STYLING + SOURCING STARTING AT $595

For spaces where the layout works, but the pieces aren't quite right.

Sometimes a room doesn't need to be redesigned. It needs a better mix of furnishings, stronger proportions or a few missing elements to pull everything together. Styling + Sourcing works with your existing arrangement to identify what to keep, what to replace and what to introduce.

Recommendations are selected with your current furniture, personal taste and budget in mind. This may mean a well-made piece from a familiar retailer, an unexpected vintage find, work from an independent artist or a distinctive accessory that gives the room more personality. The priority is a balanced, useful selection of pieces rather than sourcing from any one category of shop.

We'll start with what you already own and what you'd like to change, so the recommendations feel personal rather than one-size-fits-all. You'll work directly with me on a focused styling direction, with an opportunity to share feedback and refine the selections before the plan is finalized.

Your final editorial styling deck brings together visual references, a coordinated palette, curated product options, direct shopping links and practical notes for placing and layering pieces within your existing layout.

Pricing begins at $595 for one primary space, with sourcing across up to five furniture or decor categories. Additional categories or expanded scopes are quoted separately.

Let's work together!

As a small, independent studio, you'll work directly with me—not through a rotating team—from the initial direction to the final details. My approach is collaborative, with clear communication and thoughtful guidance at each stage of the design process.

Birka Studios offers full room design, styling + sourcing, and focused design guidance for residential interiors. Services are available locally in the Cleveland area and virtually nationwide.

To inquire, please share which room(s) or areas you're looking to address, a brief description of what you're hoping to accomplish, any existing pieces you'd like to keep, and your approximate furnishings budget. If you have a particular service in mind, feel free to include that as well.

I'll follow up with availability, a recommended scope, and next steps.
