From My Coffee Table to Yours: Mary McDonald Interiors

Written By Yian Q

Mary McDonald is likely my favorite designer of all time. Her rooms excite me and make me want to be there. She is fantastic with color blocking and pulling elements together in a cohesive way, yet they never feel matchy-matchy, and are always contrasting and stunning. She also has a quirky personality and was enjoyable to watch on Million Dollar Decorators (one of the only realistic interior design TV shows there has ever been in my opinion).

Her book, Mary McDonald Interiors, is a must for your coffee table collection. It would also make a great gift for anyone with a passion for interior design. It includes Mary's story about how she ended up in this business, which, like most of us, tends to be by others pushing us to do so.

Designing spaces you love to live in,

Since 2015, I have helped over 100 interior designers, builders, builders, and architects – from those just starting out to award-winning designers published in Architectural Digest, Luxe, and more.

My process starts with what is already true within you, then brings it to life in a way that resonates with your ideal clients.

I work with designers because they’re awesome. I’m a member of IDS (Interior Design Society) and served on the board of the Virtual Chapter. Design events I’ve attended include High Point, Vegas Market, and BOLD Summit (Business of Luxury Design).

When I’m not creating brands and websites, you can find me listening to audiobooks and going on long speed walks with friends.

I’m from Seattle and now live in New York City with my wife, Gaby.
