One of the most common questions we hear is:“How much should I budget for a high-end living room?”
At Sierra Troitsky Interiors, we believe great design starts with clarity—especially when it comes to your investment. Every space we design is tailored to your unique lifestyle, but we also want you to feel informed and empowered about what to expect.
If you’re investing in quality design, the truth is: it depends on the level of finish, customization, and scope. But here’s a clear breakdown of three budget tiers to guide you—whether you’re furnishing from scratch or elevating an existing space.
