Turnkey Design Talk
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.

So many designers fail to start an email list, or when they create one, fail to nurture it. Believe me, I have not always 'nurtured' my email list, but have noticed the benefit when I take the time to communicate with my audience frequently, and with value.
Hey guys it’s Adam Scougall of the So You Want To Be An Interior Designer podcast, and welcome to EPISODE 20.
This show really is for mid-career aspiring interior design or decorating solopreneurs that need support in finding their unique voice in an otherwise crowed design world.
My aim is to help you balance your time and make more money whilst being able to choose the projects you want to work on rather than ones you have to take to pay your bills.

Before we jump into today’s episode, I want to share something that I think is going to be really eye-opening for you.
It’s called the Turnkey Truth Test.
It’s a short self-assessment — just 15 quick questions — designed to show you where your design business might look fine on the outside… but is actually leaking time, confidence, or profit behind the scenes.
If you love decorating — furnishings, fabrics, pulling beautiful rooms together — but you
So as you’re listening to this — you might already be recognising parts of your own business in what we’ve talked about today.

That’s exactly why I created the Turnkey Truth Test.
It’s just 15 quick questions, and it will show you where your business might look fine on the surface… but is actually leaking time, mone
If this episode raised questions for you, or you’re feeling stuck in your solo design business, you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
I offer a 30-minute clarity session where we can talk through where you’re at, what’s getting in the way, and whether I can help.
