If you have never used a decorator before, you may be concerned about making that first call for assistance, but calling a professional for advice before you start your project will prevent costly mistakes. There is no charge for the initial consultation regarding a decorating project, and Marsha can help with an entire house, or just a single window. She will come to your home with product samples, fabrics and decorating ideas. Interiors by Decorating Den can provide everything from custom window treatments, wallcovering and bedding, to furniture, flooring and accessories for every taste and budget.

Owner Marsha Scott

Clients are often moving to Florida from other areas of the country, bringing with them some cherished accessories and furniture. Lifestyle decorating may mean mixing antiques, treasures or collectibles into their Florida home. Antiques mixed with other wood tones can be blended in nicely to almost any décor. Incorporating existing pieces with new rooms and lighting is essential for a successful decorating project; therefore meeting with a decorator in your home is very important.

A “Florida look” can be whatever your lifestyle reflects. The British Colony style – a tropical West Indies look with warm antique brown tones and woven rattan accents – works beautifully and can be combined with antiques or pieces brought from the north. This eclectic style is perfect for Florida.

When new construction is involved, a new home buyer has numerous decisions to make, and mistakes can be extremely costly. Marsha will help you in the early stages of your home building and during the project.

Decorating Den can help you with all the up-to-date styles, including natural textured grass cloth for wallcovering, wall murals, faux marble or stone, and fringe tassels and trims of all kinds for draperies, window treatments and pillows. “Crystal accents, along with beads and other embellishments on lampshades are very popular. Simply adding a new shade will update any lamp, bringing new life to a room,” says Marsha.

Throughout their 20 years in business, their reputation has been based on repeat and referral business. Marsha and Jerry Scott will provide attention to detail and the best service possible. Call Marsha for your complimentary design consultation today – you will be glad you did!
