Testimonials
“We just moved into our home, after a nearly 2 year build process. We worked with Marion from the start of our project selecting everything from fixed interior finishes like tile, flooring, fixtures, paint color, wallpaper to then moving into furnishings, rugs, drapes, art and finally accessories. The day we walked into our home for our grand reveal (after the team had spent 10 days installing every piece for us- allowing us to literally walk into our dream home, completely settled) was truly a moment I will never forget. To see all of our selections living together in our space, it was even better than I could imagine. The investment in a skilled and talented design team, is without a doubt worth it. Our home would not look or feel the same without Marion Interiors- they truly created our dream home into something beyond my dreams!” — Rob Roy, Austin, TX Client. 9,000 square-foot project.
“Working with Marion Interior Design was an absolute joy from start to finish. Our project covered a large custom home, including fixed finishes and full furnishing and styling, and the process was seamless, organized, and incredibly thoughtful. Every detail was handled with care, from major design decisions to the smallest finishing touches, while beautifully integrating pieces we already owned and making them feel brand new.
”The team’s communication, responsiveness, and professionalism truly stood out. We always felt heard, supported, and confident in the direction of the project. Budget management was handled with transparency and intention, which built a strong sense of trust throughout.
”Most importantly, our home now feels deeply personal, warm, and complete. It’s not just beautiful, it feels like us. We are genuinely grateful for the experience and highly recommend Marion Interior Design to anyone looking for a design partner they can trust completely.” — Rob Roy, Austin, TX Client. 9,000 square-foot project.
”Couldn't recommend Susie & her team more from their organization, communication style, empathy and understanding, and of course the quality of their design recommendations, taking and interpreting our preferences, even when we can't articulate them clearly, and delivering. My wife and I couldn't have imagined making all the decisions going into a new construction home independently or with a design team that didn't fully understand what we were looking for.” — Central Austin, TX Client. 4,000 square-foot project.“He was singing Susie’s praises! He said she is one of the best and most responsive designers he's ever worked with. She always makes time to take care of things and are so knowledgeable about construction. He said the clients are lucky to have her.” - Olson Defendorf Builder, — Austin, TX Builder. 5,000 square-foot project.
“When I first began working with Marion Interior Design, I was managing a major 12,000 sq ft home renovation in Austin. After interviewing several high-end firms in the area, I chose to work with Susie and her team for their clear vision, professionalism, and attention to detail. They specified every furnishing, curated all the art and accessories, and handled every element, from custom draperies and bath linens to entertaining dinnerware, delivering a fully move-in-ready home that feels refined and timeless.
”After developing a strong working relationship, I brought them on board to renovate my private home in Palo Alto, CA. Susie and her team maintained open, consistent communication and managed the entire 7,000 sq.ft. project remotely. They also worked within my requested budget, and delivered a completed six-month project with exceptional taste and precision.
”I appreciated their ability to interpret my preferences, communicate clearly, and execute with professionalism. Both homes reflect my lifestyle perfectly: sophisticated, comfortable, and built to last.” — Westlake Austin, TX and Palo Alto, CA Client. 12,000 square-foot project.“Susie & her team are hands down the best team when it comes to designing your home with close detail to design & professionalism. They designed our home, about 11,000 sq ft, in collaboration with the architect & builder from pre construction all the way to the finish where me & my family just rolled in our suitcases to our gorgeous home at the grand reveal. That was the best feeling ever.
“Susie is very detail oriented & knows exactly how to work within the budget while making sure there’s no compromise on the feel & look of a space. Her team did everything from designing to purchasing every single piece of furniture & accessory for our home, very responsive & easily accessible throughout the process. We highly recommend her services. Way to go Marion Interior Design TEAM, y’all are THE BEST! We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with.” — Cimarron Hills, Georgetown, TX client. 11,000 square-foot project.
“I brought Susie into my personal house and she turned the project from good to amazing. The help with layout, cabinet design, paint color, tile, flooring, fixtures and all finishes were mostly lateral price moves with a few splurges but the impact and coordination were transformative. She then helped us furnish the whole place and upon move-in, she went out and purchased all of our smaller items and accessories having gotten to know our style and budget; we kept everything she choose and never would have gotten there on our own. At each step, she presented us detailed vignettes with pictures, prices and links showing us several options for each space and showing us exactly what each space would look like. I can't overstate the value of a great interior designer.” — Westlake, TX client. 5,440 square-foot project.
“Thanks for all of your hard work. I really appreciate how you’ve listened to me and made selections that demonstrate your understanding of our style and aesthetic while also being mindful of the budget and finding value-driven pieces.“ — Mirador, Austin, TX client. 11,031 square-foot project.
“Whenever I have a new idea Susie is so accessible and begins developing and implementing it immediately. It’s so important to have an accessible designer on hand throughout the whole architectural and construction process.” Memorial, Houston, TX client. 11,685 square-foot project.
“Susie is so talented. I had been working with a designer friend for years on previous homes, but when I met Susie I knew I wanted to start working on my dream home with her. She has such great ideas and makes the process very easy.” Northshore on Lake Travis, TX client. 13,693 square-foot project.
“Susie immediately got me and understood my style, making the design process fun and stress-free. Even the day we moved, in she had the whole house furnished and accessorized so we could enjoy it immediately.” Caslano on Lake Austin, TX. 7,865 square-foot project.
“Susie listened carefully to us as we expressed our thoughts, feelings and desires regarding the mood and flavor we wanted to achieve.” Spanish Oaks, Austin, TX. 10,763 square-foot project.
