Established Palm Beach Luxury Interior Design Firm For Sale

Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, US
Asking Price:
$1,100,000
Sales Revenue:
$3,104,000
Cash Flow:
$627,872

Introducing a highly respected, full-service luxury interior design firm serving Palm Beach County's affluent residential market for nearly three decades.

Established in 1997, this firm has built an exceptional reputation for creating beautiful, custom-designed homes for high-net-worth clients. From new construction and major renovations to complete home furnishings, the company offers a comprehensive design experience that keeps clients coming back, often across multiple homes and generations of projects.

One of the most compelling aspects of this acquisition is the $4.97 million work in progress across 11 active projects, with completion dates extending into 2028. This includes $1.73 million in furnishings to be purchased, providing an established revenue and profit pipeline for incoming ownership.

Unlike many interior design studios, this company also specializes in interior architectural drawings and detailed construction specifications. This highly profitable service accounts for approximately 47% of gross profit against 21% of revenue.

The firm operates from an established design studio in Palm Beach Gardens, supported by an experienced team and long-standing relationships with builders, architects, realtors, vendors, and affluent homeowners.

**Experienced Leadership Staying After the Sale**

The founder has spent the past several years transitioning daily operations to her senior partner, who has been with the firm for 20 years.

The Senior Partner oversees client relationships, presentations, project management, and procurement and intends to remain with the business following the acquisition.

This gives a new owner the advantage of stepping into an established operation with experienced leadership, existing client relationships, and institutional knowledge already in place.

The founder is also available for a six-to-twelve-month transition to help ensure continuity.

This business makes the perfect acquisition for:

  • An existing successful Interior Design firm looking to expand geographically, increase revenue and profits through a strategic acquisition, or add hard-to-find talent to your existing team roster
  • An existing architecture firm, contractor, developer, builder etc who is looking to add a strategic “bolt on” to an existing business, benefiting from vertical integration by adding the revenue streams and increased profit margins of complementary service offerings
  • An “Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition” (ETA) buyer who is seeking to buy an established, profitable, and low-risk business to take to the next level
  • A “Second Act” buyer who is recently retired or seeking a change from your current career to focus on the creative and rewarding field of Interior Design
  • A design firm in the Northeast, Midwest, or West whose best clients are buying second and third homes in Florida, who would rather follow that work than refer it away. Palm Beach County is projected to close 255 sales above $10 million in 2026 against a record 169 last year. How many of those sales are your clients?

Property Information

Real Estate:

Lease

Location:

Palm Beach County is one of the strongest luxury residential markets in the country and
one of the hardest to break into. Reputation is local, referral networks are closed, and the
builders and realtors who send work our way have known us for years.
A buyer acquiring this business starts with 29 years of that reputation, 11 active projects,
a transferable studio lease, trade accounts at 66% off retail, and a senior design partner
who plans to stay. Building that from a standing start takes a decade.

Premises Details:

Design studio in Palm Beach Gardens, lease transfers

Business Operation

Management type:
This business has absentee ownership.
Expansion Potential:

The company has grown almost entirely through referrals and long-standing relationships, without a dedicated salesperson or formal business development program.
Several opportunities exist for new ownership:

  • Expand architectural services: With $1.67M in architectural and design fees under contract, adding a senior architect could increase the firm's capacity.
  • Introduce dedicated business development: Build upon an established reputation and referral network with proactive outreach to luxury builders, architects, and realtors.
  • Market to existing clients: Generate additional projects from homeowners purchasing second or third residences or refreshing existing properties.
  • Expand geographically: The firm currently manages five out-of-state projects, creating an opportunity to grow beyond Palm Beach County.
  • Leverage vendor relationships: Established trade accounts, including discounts of up to 66% off retail with two major furniture manufacturers, offer attractive purchasing advantages.​
  • Bring your creative ideas to take this business to the next level!
