Let Marker Girl be your design partner, offering expert recommendations and collaborating with you throughout the process.

Room Essentials is perfect for homeowners who want to collaborate with an interior designer on their home projects. This service offers a customized furnishings design plan and four in-person consulting sessions, helping you manage your project confidently.

The design plan focuses on essential furnishings such as furniture, rugs, light fixtures, and window treatments, ensuring every piece is the right fit for your space. With exclusive access to our trade showroom, you’ll work with Karen to select good-quality furnishings that create a strong design foundation.

Once your selections are finalized, Karen will meet with you to review the placement of furniture purchased through our exclusive trade sources. She will also conduct a walkthrough to address any questions. A style guide will be provided, helping you shop for art and accessories that reflect your personality and complete your space.

If you need additional support, extra consulting time and styling packages are available for an additional fee.

"Karen Davis - “Marker Girl” is the perfect mix of professional and personable, organized and artistic, fastidious and friendly.

Karen listened to our preferences and offered options that are in line with our needs and lifestyle. For the duration of our project, she tracked and clearly communicated costs, deadlines, and installation dates.

I never felt that she was ignoring our needs for the sake of her “vision”. The end result is a complete design that is both beautiful and durable, as we have a large family with small children. Specifically, she was able to offer us family-friendly upholstery options that are tough and can be easily cleaned; also she was very thoughtful about accessory placement so that breakable items were not in high-traffic areas. We had a great experience with Karen, she is truly an artist. And of course, we get many compliments on the room!"

“My whole family is so excited about the changes that never would have occurred without Karen's assistance."

Karen was wonderful. She respected our wishes, really listened to what we wanted, and accomplished what I consider to be the most awesome transformation of our home. I am a very particular person (highly analytic - math/physics) who cannot easily describe what I like and Karen had the patience and wherewithal to extract from me something I just could not describe. Karen gave me the options I needed to make my choices and her guidance helped me complete the design. I am so pleased with the results.
