As the leaves start to turn and the air takes on a crisp chill, there's something magical about the arrival of fall. Many of us are beginning to pull out our scarves and favorite autumn-themed décor to cozy up our spaces; many may even start planning holiday get-togethers and “Friendsgivings.”
With our October issue dedicated to the theme of "Food & Drink," we explore how two distinct businesses, Mercato Interiors and My Peace of Space, are reimagining the art of creating home entertaining spaces for the autumn season. While these establishments approach design from different angles, they share a common goal: to curate inviting and tranquil environments that capture the essence of warmth and hospitality year-round.
Mercato Interiors: Where Luxury and Perfectly Curated Design Meet
Founded by Las Vegas natives Liz and Robert Werner, Mercato Interiors has been a key player in the city's fine home furnishings industry for more than 16 years. Their journey in the industry has led them to understand their remarkable community and the dynamic luxury furniture market. As owners of Mercato Interiors, they offer an unmatched selection of quality products and top-notch customer service.
With the motto "The Fusion of Luxury and Design," Mercato Interiors creates spaces that are not just aesthetically pleasing but also deeply comforting. As autumn welcomes in a desire for warmth, peace, and coziness, Liz emphasizes the importance of customization, “Peace is such a personal state of being, which is why it is so beneficial for people to customize their surroundings to create what brings peace to them. Peace to some could be the hustle and bustle of the big city, while, for others, it could be a secluded log cabin in the woods. Our wide variety of high-quality products and expert design team create a combination that enables any sense of peace to be discovered, customized, and personalized to the utmost level.”
Mercato Interiors excels in transforming spaces into eye-catching entertainment spaces. The perfect gathering requires more than just furnishings – it's about creating an ambiance that evokes feelings of togetherness and comfort. From luxurious seating arrangements to carefully selected lighting that casts a warm glow, the showroom offers a spectrum of possibilities for crafting the perfect get-together. As the temperature drops outside, Mercato Interiors invites you to bring the warmth indoors, creating sophisticated and welcoming spaces.
My Peace of Space: Crafting Sanctuaries of Tranquility
Holistic Interior Designer, Founder, and visionary behind My Peace of Space, approaches design with a holistic and intuitive perspective beyond mere aesthetics. With a background in architecture, yoga, and holistic practices, Danni has a unique understanding of the connection between physical spaces and well-being. My Peace of Space encompasses ‘energy-enchanting techniques’ such as Feng Shui, color therapy, chakra balancing, and sustainability to design spaces that ‘uplift spirits, rejuvenate energy, and promote wellness.’
In the midst of fall's cozy embrace, My Peace of Space is equipped to take your living space to a new form. Danni's focus on creating personalized ‘retreats’ within homes aligns perfectly with the desire for warmth, peace, and comfort during the autumn months. Her motto, "Peace of Mind, Peace of Body + Peace of Space," encapsulates her approach to design, where the intention is to create spaces that foster holistic wellness.
When it comes to entertaining in the fall, Danni's expertise shines through. "Creating spaces perfect for entertaining is about fostering connection, closeness, and happiness," she notes. By infusing her designs with elements of fall's rich color palette and textures, she creates environments that embrace the season’s essence. From cozy seating arrangements that encourage conversations to thoughtfully selected decor that reflects the changing outdoors, Danni's approach brings the spirit of the seasons into every corner of the space.
In this season of change, My Peace of Space reminds us that we can create retreats within reach – spaces that wrap us in comfort, authenticity, and a sense of inner peace.
“Creating a cozy ambiance is often achieved through textiles and lighting,” said Danni. “Lighting is often overlooked yet plays an important role in setting the tone of the space. A well-thought-out lighting plan can transform the mood from vibrant and energetic to warm and intimate, further enhancing the space's suitability for entertaining. Ultimately, crafting spaces perfect for entertaining hinges on the convergence of intentional design, emotional resonance, and sensory engagement.”
Two Approaches, One Vision: Peaceful Spaces for Entertaining
As the season unfolds, Mercato Interiors and My Peace of Space offer distinct yet harmonious approaches to creating inviting spaces for entertaining, no matter your taste. Whether you're drawn to the grandeur of lavish design or the holistic embrace of intentional spaces, these businesses provide unique options to prepare your space for celebrating the joys of fall — and year-round.
Imagine a scene: a luxurious sofa adorned with plush throws, bathed in the soft glow of golden lighting, surrounded by carefully curated decor that pays homage to the season. This is the magic that Mercato Interiors brings to life.
Alternatively, picture a serene space designed with intention, where every element resonates with your vision, complementing the cozy seasonal vibe. My Peace of Space creates this enchantment seamlessly, crafting a space where guests can connect on a deeper level.
Many of us often move at a rapid pace; the change of the season offers us a chance to slow down, gather, and appreciate the simple joys and comfort of gathering together. Mercato Interiors and My Peace of Space provide the vision and design know-how to work with you and your home, creating spaces that elevate entertaining. As you welcome the new season with open arms, consider how these local businesses can help you transform your space into one of warmth, connection, and luxury.
