MASTER PLAN

Filled with a selection of original art, high-end furniture, wallcoverings, lighting and more, Merge Home Design and Showroom encapsulates designer Marty Mason’s interior sensibilities. Based on his belief that the key to a one-of-a-kind environment is mixing elements, the showroom boasts innovative style and current trends throughout the three-story, custom-built location in the Westside Design District. Here, clients can curate the perfect space with Merge Home’s diverse collection of furniture and decor. We sit down with the man behind the brand and get his two cents on the new design resource. 1400 Howell Mill Road, mergehome.com

AS TOLD TO CAROLINE PERROTT

What do you love about Merge Home?

Our full-service design firm can do everything from the beginning to end, with or without our clients’ participation, which I feel is special and what I love about Marty Mason Design Group and new Merge Home. We have a home base for all the fabulous products that we can utilize in home projects, allowing the customer to see and feel all products in person.

What is your favorite aspect of the store?

I love the different interior styles each floor champions. The first floor has a completely different feel than the third, allowing for a lot of range.

Who should shop at Merge Home?

Designers and consumers who want to add layers to their home; really anyone can find something they like here.

Tell me about your history in West Midtown.

I personally have a lot of history here. I think the design community in West Midtown is just thriving and I am so happy to be a part of it and have been a part of it dating back to 2004 when I started Savvy Snoot.
