Urbanspace Design Studio is a full-service interior design firm operating in Oklahoma City that handles residential renovations, commercial office buildouts, and hospitality projects from concept through installation. The studio works at mid-to-premium price points and manages every phase in-house, from initial space planning through furniture selection and contractor coordination, rather than referring clients elsewhere for execution.
The studio takes on projects ranging from single-room updates to whole-home renovations and small-to-midsize commercial spaces. Unlike design consultants who provide recommendations and leave implementation to the client, Urbanspace functions as project lead: they develop floor plans, select finishes and furnishings, oversee contractor bids, manage timelines, and conduct site visits during installation. They also take on kitchen and bathroom remodels, where design choices directly affect plumbing and electrical layout. The studio does not operate as a furniture retailer or a general contractor; they are licensed interior designers who coordinate contractors rather than performing structural work themselves.
Urbanspace offers three main service tiers. A consultation package, typically $500 to $800, covers an initial two-hour meeting, space measurements, and a preliminary concept board with three material and color directions. This option suits homeowners testing ideas before committing to a full project. A design package, ranging from $3,500 to $7,500 depending on square footage, includes floor plans, detailed elevations, a complete specification book (finishes, flooring, paint, hardware), and furniture layouts. Clients then source products independently or request Urbanspace to purchase items at retail markup, usually 20 to 30 percent above cost. A full-service renovation package begins at $15,000 and encompasses design plus project management: contractor vetting, bid review, schedule oversight, and site visits at key milestones. Pricing varies by scope; a 300-square-foot master bathroom remodel typically runs $18,000 to $25,000 all-in, while a 2,000-square-foot home refresh (living areas, kitchen, primary bedroom) averages $35,000 to $55,000 in design and project fees alone, not including construction costs.
Oklahoma City has several design practices at different scales. Form + Function Design, also operating locally, focuses on residential work and charges hourly rates of $150 to $200 per hour, which can suit smaller projects but may exceed package pricing on medium jobs. The Encore Design Group handles primarily commercial and hospitality work, making them better suited to restaurant or office buildouts than residential clients. Furniture retailers like Article and Room & Board offer free design consultation when you purchase from them, but these services are limited to product selection within their inventory; they do not manage contractors or multi-phase timelines. Urbanspace's advantage lies in its integrated approach: clients receive design strategy and execution without juggling separate vendors, and the full-service tier includes contingency planning if a contractor misses a deadline or materials ship late.
The studio works best for homeowners managing a major renovation alongside full-time work, owners of commercial spaces without in-house facilities teams, and clients who value design coherence across multiple rooms or an entire property. Their mid-to-premium positioning suits people willing to invest $5,000 to $60,000 on design and coordination for a polished result. Urbanspace is not ideal for budget-conscious renovators seeking $10,000 bathroom updates or anyone who prefers directing their own contractors and selecting finishes independently. They also do not take on interior styling for staged sales or short-term rentals, nor do they handle commercial builds larger than 5,000 square feet.
Initial consultations are by appointment. Clients schedule a two-hour visit during which the designer measures the space, asks about lifestyle (work-from-home needs, entertaining frequency, storage priorities), reviews inspiration images or Pinterest boards, and discusses budget. The designer then delivers a preliminary concept board via email within one week, showing three distinct aesthetic directions with samples of paint, flooring, and furnishings. From there, clients either commit to the design package, request revisions before committing, or use the concepts as reference for independent work.
Urbanspace operates by appointment Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with occasional Saturday consultations available with advance notice. The studio is located near downtown Oklahoma City with street parking and a small lot; clients are asked to confirm parking details when booking. Project timelines vary: design-only packages take three to four weeks from kickoff to final specification book; full-service projects typically span four to six months from design approval to final walkthrough, contingent on contractor schedules and material lead times.
Urbanspace fills a specific role in Oklahoma City's design market: for owners who need design direction and someone to shepherd a project to completion, the integrated fee structure eliminates the friction of hunting multiple vendors and holding them accountable.
