As a mom and a designer who specializes in family As a mom and a designer who specializes in family home design for real-life living, I'm the biggest advocate for quality, performance fabrics, and indoor-outdoor fabrics that are easy to clean and maintain. ✨ Because, let's be honest, even though they're beautiful, you're never going to want to use super expensive upholstered furniture if the materials are delicate and not kid-friendly.  The durable, vinyl banquette seating with performance fabric pillows here is perfect for everyday family meals. Beautiful, high-quality and realistic! 💙  Interior Design: @markergirlhome
How many family photos and where to put them? I ge How many family photos and where to put them? I get asked this question quite often. I like to designate a few areas in the home. A gallery wall in a simple layout in the hallway or a few complimentary frames on a tabletop or piece of furniture is best.  Keep them grouped together so it feels more like your family story and not all over the place. When you thoughtfully place them in a few spaces in your home, they are now telling a story. When you place them randomly all over your home it looks cluttered and feels like not much thought was put into the decorating.  Interior Design: @markergirlhome
Odd-shaped spaces call for creative family-friendl Odd-shaped spaces call for creative family-friendly solutions! ✨ I turned where the original builder intended the TV to go into a closet to make the room much more functional for a family-friendly game room! 🎲  Swipe to see the floorplan and how I changed it to work for my family. 😊  Interior Design: @markergirlhome
When designing kitchens I consider the whole famil When designing kitchens I consider the whole family and what is needed to have a kitchen space that works for them.  It is more than a place to cook! It needs to have adequate storage so the counters can be cluttered free. It should not only look great but feel comfortable so you can relax and enjoy the space every day.  Interior Design: @markergirlhome

Kid-friendly doesn't mean kid-exclusive! 🙅🏻 Kid-friendly doesn't mean kid-exclusive! 🙅🏻‍♀️ Here's an example of a very kid-friendly room where the whole family can gather and enjoy!   The homes that I design always accommodate the whole family and their unique lifestyle. A home is a special place for mom, dad and the kids to relax, be happy and grow together. 💗  Interior Design: @markergirlhome
Spot the similarities...👀 Can you tell what we Spot the similarities...👀 Can you tell what we kept the same in this family's refreshed kitchen? 👉🏻  Leave your answers in the comments, and then scroll to the bottom of the caption to see the answer. ⬇️  Even light remodels where we keep the layout and structure the same can look like a complete 180 transformation!  Answer: The cabinetry (which we repainted) and the floors.  Interior Design: @markergirlhome
