Tips for Model Home Interior Design

Marc-Michaels Interior Design recently fully furnished three different model homes in Fort

Lauderdale for VCM Builders. They are all within close proximity to each other, yet each model was

designed to be unique with character while incorporating elements that attract luxury homebuyers

across the board.

Here are some tips from Marc-Michaels about model home interior design.

Understand Your Buyers

Designing a model home requires much more than just picking out nice furnishings, accessories and

paint colors. Before Marc-Michaels begins working they are given a specific target demographic for

each home. With this very detailed demographic in mind, the designers begin to design and create

spaces to attract a specific buyer.

Don’t Overdo It

Overly furnished spaces, busy patterns or loud colors can be a major turn off for a buyer. The

designers at Marc-Michaels use clean lines and classic color palettes, adding pops of color and

texture through accent details. The designers try to achieve a feeling of comfortable elegance, a

space where buyers can envision themselves on a day-to-day basis. They try to pick one special

moment in each room and really focus on the design detail there, this could be with a built-in

bookcase, spectacular light fixture or flooring detail.

The three different models Marc-Michaels designed for VCM Builders each had their own special

aesthetic and allow for many different kinds of buyers to find a place to call home.

616 SOLAR: The designers wanted the feel to be coastal yet chic, This light and airy feeling was

achieved with light bleached wood flooring, coastal accents and white painted cabinetry in the

kitchen.

440 ROYAL PLAZA: This home was more showy and glamorous. The use of brass accents in the

stunning light fixtures and brass plumbing reflected a real elegance. The dark stained floor creates a

more dramatic mood.

175 FIESTA: This model was designed to feel warm and earthy. The designers used a lighter wood

floor complemented by light finishes.
