Resolve the questions that change this comparison

Ask Madisyn B. Interior Design

What purchasing, trades and installation costs sit outside the design service fee?

Ask Rankin Design

Which procurement and installation tasks are performed by the studio versus local vendors?

Send the same property brief to both: address, floor plan, room list, intended guest capacity, existing furniture to retain and your desired completion window. Ask each team to identify what they need from your local contact before quoting. This makes differences in service scope visible before a design fee is compared with a complete installation budget.

What these two service scopes mean for your project

Build the Madisyn B. Interior Design brief

Turnkey Vacation Rental includes market research, mood boards, space planning and room design boards. Translate that advertised offering into a written deliverable: which rooms are covered, what drawings or selections will arrive, how revisions are approved, and which decisions need verified site measurements.

The turnkey scope lists purchasing, order tracking, trade coordination and installation; Virtual Vacay is a separate service. Before paying a deposit, put ordering, inspection, damaged-goods claims, assembly, installation and packaging removal on a responsibility sheet. A task that is not explicitly assigned should remain an open proposal question.

Confirm availability for the address and selected service tier. Send the address and delivery route before assuming an advertised service can be performed at your property. Request a current itemized proposal. Published service labels do not establish the complete property cost.

Build the Rankin Design brief

STR property strategy, renderings and measured furniture placement. Translate that advertised offering into a written deliverable: which rooms are covered, what drawings or selections will arrive, how revisions are approved, and which decisions need verified site measurements.

The site lists procurement, logistics, installation documentation and styling systems. Before paying a deposit, put ordering, inspection, damaged-goods claims, assembly, installation and packaging removal on a responsibility sheet. A task that is not explicitly assigned should remain an open proposal question.

Nashville-based; publishes completed project locations in multiple U.S. markets. Past work does not confirm current availability. Send the address and delivery route before assuming an advertised service can be performed at your property. Request a current itemized proposal. Published service labels do not establish the complete property cost.

Use a realistic property scenario

Illustrative example: an owner is furnishing a three-bedroom rental remotely while retaining the dining table. One proposal may be a remote plan and another may include local setup. The owner sends both teams the same retained-item dimensions, room photos, access measurements and inventory of linens and kitchen essentials. A complete comparison then adds receiving, assembly and a local completion check to any offer that leaves those tasks with the owner. This example describes a method; it is not a claim about either provider’s quoted costs or delivery speed.

For Madisyn B. Interior Design, begin with this unresolved question: What purchasing, trades and installation costs sit outside the design service fee? For Rankin Design, resolve: Which procurement and installation tasks are performed by the studio versus local vendors? Record answers in the worksheet rather than interpreting silence as an exclusion or an included service.

Keep the financial and operating handoff usable

A furnishing budget should separate service fees from products, freight, installation, trade work and household stock. Retain itemized invoices, approvals, refunds and installed inventory. Do not treat a bundled design fee as evidence that every purchase receives the same tax treatment. The owner’s tax preparer makes that determination from the records and applicable rules.

For the broader tax planning discussion, visit AE Tax Advisors. For property-component records and study preparation, use Stratum’s STR cost segregation resources. These are related business resources; MyBnBDesign publishes this directory and recommends them. Confirm separate scopes and fees directly. A design project does not establish eligibility for a particular deduction.

Use the complete STR design roadmap to carry the shortlist into a guest brief, measured layout, purchasing plan, installation and post-launch review. The roadmap’s output is a property plan and documented decisions, not a promised revenue increase.

Decide from the written deliverables

1. Confirm property eligibility and whether the proposal is remote design, furnishing procurement or on-site delivery and setup.
2. Check the design handoff: scaled layouts, item specifications, revisions and approval steps. A shopping list and installed room are different deliverables.
3. Assign ordering, receiving, damage claims, substitutions, assembly and cleanup to a named person. Record travel, storage and additional visit costs.
4. Get a dated completion plan and a final punch-list process. Treat advertised timelines as estimates until the property scope and inventory are confirmed.

Use the furnishing quote scope worksheet for the shared brief and the full-service versus design-only guide to clarify how much execution you want to manage.
