A Better Approach to Design. In 1969, as Marianne Schmidt d'Elia was designing model homes for one of the nation's largest home builders, she pioneered the concept of "lifestyle design," a technique which added personality and warmth to residential properties for sale.
MS Interior Design. Just a few years later in 1975, MS Interior Design was incorporated as an interior design firm with an already established clientele of homebuilders, developers, homeowners, and commercial properties.
Merchandising East was established in 1995 as the "model home merchandising" division of our parent company, MS Interior Design, Inc. Today, M/E actively promotes the sale or lease of hundreds of new residential and commercial properties with our compelling, emotional merchandising.
By blending sound interior design principles with current trends in retail marketing, we create unique designs that highlight the architectural features, demonstrate the flexibility of the interior plan, and emotionally motivate customers to a buying decision.
