Marea Clark Interiors is a San Francisco-based residential interior design firm.
Principal Marea Clark leads the creative direction of each MCI project. She emphasizes comfort, elegance, and functionality. Guided by her cultivated expertise and creative background, Marea’s work embraces the worlds of fine art, antiques, and contemporary design to create inventive and informed spaces. Her aesthetic is equally influenced by the uniquely classic sensibilities of the South where she grew up with the relaxed ease of California living where she has practiced design for over fifteen years.
The firm marries refined traditionalism with a modern, West Coast sensibility to create timeless residential interiors.
Raised in Kentucky around the natural landscape of horse fields and revered architecture of the South, Marea’s interest in the art of living and impact of design was sparked at a young age. Growing up amongst family members immersed in creative ventures further fueled her formal training at the University of Kentucky, where she studied Interior Design and Fine Art with a concentration on painting. In 2006, Marea moved to the west coast, practicing under some of the design industry’s most respected firms for more than a decade before establishing her firm.
In 2016, Marea launched her eponymous studio: Marea Clark Interiors. Since then, Marea has garnered a loyal client base in the Bay Area and beyond. Her work has been featured by the country’s leading interior design publications, including Architectural Digest, Frederic, Elle Decor, Veranda, House Beautiful, Luxe Interiors + Design, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
Marea is a member of Architectural Digest’s AD PRO Directory, The Design Leadership Network (DLN) and The San Francisco Fall Show’s Design Council. She sits on the board for Children of Shelter and the Donor's Circle for Bay Area Discovery Museum and California Academy of Sciences.
“Each project we take on effortlessly combines sophistication with approachability, resulting in bespoke interiors from coast to coast.”
The Marea Clark Interiors studio operates out of an early-1900s building in San Francisco’s Russian Hill neighborhood, where a group of passionate, collaborative designers bring client wishes to life. The firm has developed strong connections with talented fabricators, dealers and artisans, bringing the highest quality furnishings and craftspeople to each project. Guided by Marea’s artistic eye and understanding of modern living, Marea and her team create charming, one-of-a-kind interiors that reflect the clients’ tastes, habits and lifestyles.
