E-design vs full-service: what each really costs
E-design gives you a scheme and a shopping list; full service gives you a team that buys, schedules and installs it. The price gap reflects the labour, not the taste.
No construction — furniture, lighting, textiles, art and styling.
What you get for the money
E-design typically delivers a mood board, a layout, a furniture list with links and a short revision window. You place the orders and manage delivery.
Full service adds site measurement, procurement, trade pricing, delivery consolidation, snagging and installation day.
Common questions
- Is e-design good value?
- For a single room where you are happy to buy and coordinate deliveries yourself, it is usually the cheapest route to a coherent scheme.
