Sharon Marcus — Designer & Creator of The Realized Home, LLC

Design should be a reflection of you—your style, your needs, your way of living. That’s my specialty. As the founder of The Realized Home, LLC, I create thoughtfully planned interiors that blend beauty with function, ensuring your space feels personal, polished & effortlessly livable.

My background is rooted in aesthetics. Before interior design, I was a writer specializing in visual storytelling, covering fashion, interiors, and product design for top publications. With a BA in Features Journalism from the University of Maryland and a minor in Fashion Marketing from the London College of Fashion, I’ve spent years analyzing what makes design truly resonate. From spotting emerging talent at Drapers in London to curating beauty vignettes at Fitness magazine in NYC, my career has always revolved around the art of composition.

Today, I bring that same editorial eye to interiors—sourcing the unexpected, layering textures, and striking a balance between high-end investment pieces and smart, stylish finds. Whether it’s a statement-making antique or a just-launched product from a global trade show, I thrive on curating a home that feels like you.

I believe in design without pretense. Luxury doesn’t have to mean extravagant, and practicality doesn’t mean sacrificing style. I work across all tiers—from retail to trade-only showrooms—ensuring we maximize impact at the right price points. My philosophy? Spend where it counts, save where it makes sense.

Most importantly, The Realized Home is built on trust, transparency, and a deep respect for how you live. No staging, no pretense—just intelligent, intuitive design that enhances your everyday.

Let’s create a home that reflects you, beautifully.
