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.

Beyond Instagram: Finding Better Design Clients
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Instagram can be a useful part of your marketing, but it shouldn’t be the only place you’re looking for your next interior design client.
In this episode of Turnkey Design Talk, I’m looking at how solo interior designers and decorators can think more broadly about finding clients — particularly when posting consistently on social media isn’t translating into actual enquiries.
I share some of my own experiences of where design work has come from over the years, why getting in front of the right people matters more than simply being visible to more people, and how you can start creating opportunities for potential clients to discover what you do.
If you’re spending hours creating content and wondering where the actual clients are, this episode is for you.
Because ultimately, we’re not trying to become content creators. We’re trying to build successful design businesses.
