“Life is too short for an all-beige room”

Luxury Interior Design in Fort Lauderdale

Welcome to Marcus Mars Interiors

Welcome to Marcus Mars Interiors, my luxury interior design studio in Fort Lauderdale. For more than thirty years, I've helped homeowners create interiors that reflect their lifestyle, personality, and the way they truly live. Every project begins with a conversation, a story, and occasionally the realization that life is simply too short for an all-beige room.

Whether designing a waterfront residence, remodeling a kitchen, or transforming an entire home, my goal is always the same: to create interiors that feel timeless, personal, and beautifully connected to the architecture of the home. Every project is shaped around my clients vision, personality, and lifestyle, never around passing trends.

Having grown up in the coastal beauty of Fort Lauderdale and influenced by the Mediterranean Revival of Boca Raton, or the coastal retreat of the Ocean Reef Club and the Florida Keys, to the elegance of the British Colonial Bahamas, I find myself attracted to the area’s azure waters and tropical landscapes.

Florida’s coastal lifestyle continues to appear throughout my work and be regionally correct.

I invite you to explore my Interior Design Portfolio to discover the stories behind each home, the creative journey, and how thoughtful design can help you envision what's possible in your own home.

The Story Behind Each Home

This website is intentionally a little different.

Rather than simply showcasing beautiful finished interiors, I invite you into the creative journey behind each luxury home. My portfolio shares the inspiration, design challenges, architectural decisions, and thoughtful details that transformed an idea into a home that truly reflects the people who live there.

Every project begins with a story.

Sometimes it's a cherished family collection gathered over generations. Sometimes it's a favorite hotel discovered while traveling, a treasured piece of artwork, the architecture of the home itself, or simply a client saying, "I want my home to feel different."

As you explore to my Interior Design Portfolio and Design Journal, you'll discover more than finished photographs. You'll see concept sketches, presentation boards, remodeling transformations, architectural details, and the design decisions that shaped each space from the first conversation to the final finishing touch.

Whether you're planning a luxury interior design project, kitchen remodel, or complete home renovation, I hope these stories offer inspiration and help you envision what's possible in your own home.

The result is an interior that feels timeless, collected, and uniquely its own.

Design Styles & Influences

Every home has its own architectural character and every client has their own way of living. Rather than following one signature style, I draw inspiration from a range of design styles to create interiors that feel authentic, timeless, and uniquely personal.

Mediterranean Interior Design
Inspired by the timeless elegance of South Florida’s Mediterranean Revival heritage with architectural detailing, warm textures, natural materials, and interiors designed to feel collected over time.

Modern Coastal Interiors
Refined coastal living with clean lines, natural light, soft organic textures, and an understated sophistication that reflects Fort Lauderdale’s waterfront lifestyle.

Transitional & Contemporary Design
Balancing classic proportions with modern simplicity to create interiors that feel current, welcoming, and enduring.

British Colonial & Tropical Influences
Relaxed sophistication inspired by the Bahamas and island living—featuring natural materials, layered textures, tailored furnishings, and a sense of escape.

Eclectic Luxury Interiors
Thoughtfully blending periods, styles, artwork, and collected objects to create homes that feel distinctive, curated, and highly personal.

Traditional Interior Design
Grounded in classical design principles with timeless architectural elements, elegant furnishings, and refined detailing.

Mid-Century Interior Design
Clean architectural forms, purposeful simplicity, and a connection between indoor and outdoor living adapted for modern lifestyles.

Luxury Interior Design Services

Every home presents its own opportunities and challenges. My services are designed to guide clients through every stage of the design process. I will begin with a Presentation board where we will be developing the overall vision and space planning including selecting materials, fabrics, architectural elements, cabinetry, lighting and adding the final details that bring a home together. Whether your project is a single room or a complete renovation, every design decision is made with your home, lifestyle, and long-term investment in mind.

Design-Build Home Remodeling & Custom Kitchens

Some projects begin with furniture and finishes. Others begin with moving walls, reimagining kitchens, restoring architectural character, or transforming the way a home functions.

My design-build approach integrates interior design, architecture, and remodeling to create homes that feel cohesive from the architecture inward. Whether renovating a waterfront residence, modernizing an existing floor plan, or designing a custom kitchen, every project is approached with the same attention to proportion, materials, craftsmanship, and livability.

I share not only the finished result, but also the story behind the transformation, from early concept sketches and presentation boards to construction milestones and the final installation.
