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.

Episode Zero: You're Not Behind-You're Building
Welcome to Turnkey Design Talk.
In this episode, Adam explains why the podcast has evolved — and why this season is focused on designers and decorators who are already working but feel stuck with unfinished projects, unclear boundaries, and underwhelming outcomes.
After 50+ research calls with designers, one issue kept coming up: projects weren’t finishing, photography wasn’t happening, and clients were left managing too much. This episode introduces what Adam means by turnkey design — taking responsibility for the finish so the work truly reflects your skill.
Episode 0 sets the scene for the first three episodes, which explore:
- Building a design business without relying solely on credentials
- Starting again or resetting when things feel off
- Running a profitable, finished-project-focused practice as a solopreneur
If you’ve ever felt behind, unqualified, or frustrated that your best work isn’t being seen — this episode is for you.
You’re not behind. You’re building.
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.
