How to get started with us
At MLR Interior Design, we create homes that feel intentional, layered, and completely yours. Based in Ocean Springs, MS, we specialize in curating new construction interiors and transforming existing spaces into places that reflect your lifestyle, personality, and unique aesthetic.
From custom furnishings to carefully selected finishes, we guide every detail with care and purpose—so you can step into a home that feels effortlessly curated, welcoming, and entirely reflective of who you are.
Skip the Pinterest rabbit hole — your home deserves more than a saved folder and a prayer.
Full service design means you hand it off and we handle it. We take care of every decision, every vendor, every detail from concept to the final styled room — so you're not managing a renovation on top of everything else you've already got going on.
The result is a home that feels completely intentional, designed around how you actually live — and unmistakably yours.
Your rental is a business. It should look like one.
Guests book with their eyes — and the properties that consistently outperform on Airbnb and VRBO aren't just clean, they're designed. The right furniture plan, the right finishes, the right first photo stops the scroll and justifies the nightly rate.
We design short-term rentals specifically for the Gulf Coast market — balancing the guest experience that drives five-star reviews with the durability and easy turnover that protects your investment long-term.
Whether you're furnishing a new property or refreshing one that's under performing, we work on timelines that make sense for a rental business, not a custom home build.
Kitchens and bathrooms are where the budget gets real — and where the right decisions pay off the most.
These are the spaces that sell homes, hold their value, and get used hard every single day. Getting them right means more than picking pretty tile. It means understanding how your family actually moves through the space, what your resale horizon looks like, and where it makes sense to invest versus pull back.
We manage the full scope — layout, cabinetry, fixtures, finishes, and contractor coordination — so you're not playing project manager on the most complicated rooms in your house.
The result is a kitchen or bathroom that works as good as it looks, and holds up long after the renovation dust settles.
It's one of the last decisions clients make and one of the most underestimated. Scale, fabric, hang height, hardware — every detail either pulls the room together or exposes what's missing. And on the Gulf Coast, you've also got sun control and humidity to think about, which makes the fabric and lining decisions more important than they might be elsewhere.
We handle the full process — sourcing, specifying, and coordinating installation — with workrooms we trust and fabrics selected for both beauty and longevity in a coastal climate.
It's the finishing touch that makes everything else you invested in actually land.
It has been a pleasure to know and work with you from the start. You have the talent to make a big project so simple. The skill of listening and then being able to pull the design together while making it fun is an art!
Thank you so much for helping us bring this house to life! You have been so helpful and knowledgeable-making this process much easier!
Mandie is awesome! She helped me pick out the perfect colors for my flip house as well as helped me stage it for showings! She even met with my contractor for me! I will be using her again for my next investment property!
Mandie helped me pick out new paint colors for my walls and cabinets. She listened to what I wanted but also gave me courage to step outside my comfort zone with some colors I wouldn’t have been brave enough to try on my own.
I had an outstanding experience with MLR Design! Mandie is thoughtful and detail oriented. She gave excellent advice and directed my project confidently and professionally. She listens intently and has a wonderful way of pulling everything together to make a vision come to life. I would hire her for every project.
