Our Full Service Interior Design at Ellie Mroz Design is a comprehensive, turn-key offering where we thoughtfully select and install every piece—from sofas and lighting to art and accessories—to create a fully finished, elevated home. We handle measuring, sourcing, layouts, custom pieces, and white-glove installation, ensuring each room reflects your lifestyle and our signature classic-meets-fresh style. We take on clients from 1 room to full homes.

We manage every part of the project, from collecting client inspiration through to accessorizing. This includes selecting furniture, finishes, colors, lighting, artwork, and window treatments. Our team coordinates orders and oversees the installation, as well as wallpaper, carpet and window installations. We aim to make the process smooth and enjoyable for you.
-
The first step is an in-home initial consultation to discuss your goals and the project scope. After this, we email a working design agreement detailing the work and estimated hours. Once you approve, we guide you through gathering inspiration before presenting design concepts at our studio.
-
We start all projects by gathering client inspiration (in an easy, guided fashion). This way, from the start, the sourcing is based upon the client’s aesthetic. We encourage client participation at the presentation, which is an interactive session with samples and 3-8 options presented per item sourced. On install day, you choose which accessories to keep. This approach helps create a space that truly reflects your style while being curated by our design team.
