When our client invited us into her North Scottsdale home, she described a life filled with travel, warmth, and welcoming others in. She wanted her space to reflect that richness—not just visually, but in the way it lived. Terra Nomad is the result: a layered, light-filled home that honors comfort, connection, and the little luxuries that make daily life feel elevated. From the Moroccan-inspired patio to the TV den where her pup curls up beside her, every corner reflects intention, story, and style.
Full-Service Design Is a Lifestyle, Not a Line Item
When you’re investing in your home, you’re not just hiring a decorator—you’re curating a lifestyle. Whether you’re relocating to Arizona, remodeling a Paradise Valley estate, or finally ready to furnish your dream home, the right full-service interior designer transforms more than just your space. They give you time, peace of mind, and an elevated experience from start to finish.
What Does “Full-Service” Interior Design Actually Mean?
A full-service designer doesn’t just pick pretty things—they manage the entire project.
True full-service firms handle:
- Custom space planning + renderings
- Product procurement, ordering + logistics
- Contractor and builder collaboration
- Install day and full-home styling
- One-point project management
If you’re still coordinating deliveries or chasing trades, that’s not full-service. This list highlights designers who handle all of it—so you don’t have to.
How We Chose These Firms
Each designer featured here meets strict criteria:
- Specializes in luxury homes
- Offers end-to-end, turnkey service
- Works seamlessly with remodels, new builds, and furnishings
- Caters to busy professionals and out-of-state clients
- Has earned strong client reviews and media recognition
Paradise Valley vs. Scottsdale Designers: Key Differences
Paradise Valley design firms often lead with ultra-custom aesthetics and higher investment minimums. Scottsdale studios may offer broader style flexibility and slightly more approachable pricing.Both are excellent—it comes down to pace, process, and personal fit.
Procurement + Installation: Non-Negotiables for Busy Clients
Every firm on this list manages:
- Trade and retail product orders
- Delivery oversight + damage resolution
- Storage coordination
- White-glove installation and styling
If you’re a CEO, a parent, or out of state—this level of service is essential, not optional.
