About the Studio

A quiet studio, twenty-one years on the Gulf.

Livingstyles Interiors is a small, deliberate practice on Marco Island — shaped by Marion Smith and the artisans, tradesmen, and clients she’s worked alongside for two decades.

Mission

To design homes that feel inevitable — rooms that answer to the way a family actually lives, in the specific light of the Florida coast.

Perspective

Good interiors are patient. They rely on natural materials, honest proportion, and an editing hand that knows what to leave out. We work slowly, and we work in pairs of tens of years, not seasons.

Approach

Each project begins with the site — its light, its horizon, the way sound carries through it. From there we layer architecture, finish, furniture, textile, and art in a single continuous conversation with the client.

Network

Two decades in Naples have built a trusted network of cabinetmakers, upholsterers, artisans, painters, and installers — the quiet infrastructure that lets a project land the way it was drawn.

I want a room to feel like the client wrote it — only clearer, and quieter than they could have on their own.
— Marion Smith, Principal Designer
