“Everything You Need to Know as a Small Business Owner About Commercial Renovation Budgets."

Helping boutique owners plan smarter, design better, and stay ahead.

If you're a boutique business owner thinking about upgrading your space, you’ve likely asked yourself: “What’s this really going to cost me?”

The truth is, most small business owners aren’t given a clear roadmap for what commercial interior design actually entails—especially when it comes to budgeting. And that’s where things can get overwhelming fast.

“Think Big, Think Ahead."

At 360° Color, we believe that great design should feel exciting, not intimidating. So we created a simple pricing guide to help you understand what to expect—and empower you to plan with clarity and confidence.

First, Ask Yourself: “What’s my total project budget—including design fees, construction, materials, and all furnishings/decor?”

📊 The full scope matters. Now let’s break it down:

The Numbers: A Quick Guide to Commercial Project Budgets

• 10K–50K

  • Minimal yet meaningful upgrades—think "mini makeover:" refreshed signage, branding enhancements, a fresh coat of paint, layout optimization, new furnishings, updated lighting. Perfect for smaller-scale updates that bring new life and intention to your space.

• 50K–100K

  • A strategic and more comprehensive refresh—think upgraded branding elements (like feature walls or custom signage), furnishings, curated lighting packages, and updated layout planning to improve flow and function. This tier often includes upgraded flooring, custom-designed reception desk tailored to your brand, and wall treatments to enhance the overall client experience and ambiance.

• 100K–500K

  • Full-scale design—for commercial spaces around 5,000 sq. ft. or less. Ideal for businesses ready to completely reimagine their environment. This tier includes full branding integration (colors, signage, graphics, and customer journey mapping), custom millwork and built-ins, premium flooring and lighting packages, upgraded restrooms or kitchenettes, specialty finishes, and fully curated furnishings. It’s a holistic transformation that blends form and function, with every detail tailored to your brand story and operational flow.

• 500K+

  • The premier tier—bespoke design, immersive branding, premium materials, and everything needed to fully transform your business. This tier is for business owners ready to create an iconic, unforgettable space. Think ground-up innovation, custom everything, and experiential design that turns your brand into a physical destination.

    
    

    At this level, no detail is overlooked: architectural enhancements, high-concept build-outs, technology integration, exclusive material sourcing, fully custom furnishings, and layered branding touchpoints at every turn. Ideal for hospitality groups, multi-location brands, or boutique businesses ready to scale and lead with impact. At this level, design becomes a strategic brand tool—crafting a space that emotionally connects with your audience, tells your story with intention, and positions your business for long-term growth and loyalty.

Interior design isn’t just about making things look pretty—it’s about creating a memorable experience that aligns with your brand, drives revenue, and builds customer trust. The better your space feels, the longer people stay—and the more likely they are to return.
