Marla Roberts, Principal Designer and Founder.
My practice of interior design started long before my professional career did. I spent years helping friends and family find their look and achieve their design goals.
In 2017 I went pro by remodeling homes. The houses ranges from 1960's ranch style bungalows to 1880's historic homes. In 2020, I included new home development, private client remodels, color and design consulting, as well as full interior design.
With the knowledge I obtained in my past professional career in healthcare, I'm able to work within budgets, manage projects with reasonable timelines, listen and execute on my client's needs, and have the flexibility to adjust as needed.
Working on a broad range of home styles, ranging from historic to contemporary, along with the enormous task of changing every room in the house, addressing the landscaping and exteriors, I can address the many different needs of my clients.
I am an Arkansas licensed real estate agent, providing a unique perspective on how to help you maintain the value of your home.
My aesthetic is inspired by my west coast upbringing, fusing clean uncluttered settings with a livability and warmth that remains timeless even after passing trends have faded.
I enjoyed working with Marla on my master bedroom design. She provided me with options and helped me narrow down my selections based on needs and budget. She's an active listener who is able to translate my train of thought into something tangible, and can adapt to her client's design aesthetic very easily. Marla goes above and beyond to ensure her client's happiness - I can't recommend her enough!

I am so glad we found Marla. She spent time discovering what I wanted and made my vision so much better. I found I was easily overwhelmed with choices; So she always had a few choices for me to begin with, then I could easily narrow down what I did and did not like. She was very responsive to all our questions and calls. She has assembled such a great team of contractor and subs that the work done on our project was always top quality. Thank you Marla!

I have much enjoyed working with Marla and her client in providing their needs. Marla stays up with current trends, but allows the customer to say and choose her likes. She is very driven as far as getting the job done correctly and with professionalism. Her flexibility and attitude has made her easy to work with. Kathy (Sensitive Information Hidden)

Marla is excellent at what she does! She came into our home and staged a few things. Our house went under contract in less than 24hours! I highly recommend Marla! Very professional and will work around your schedule. Go see her!

Fantastic. Working with Marla could not have been a better experience. She was able to incorporate my tastes with her incredible vision and create something in my home that I didn't know was possible. Service was concierge level. She managed everything and is a consummate professional. The few bumps we hit, she managed and I am absolutely thrilled with the final product. We redid the living room, kitchen, dining room, and office. We tackled flooring, fireplace facings, paint, draperies, furniture and a complete kitchen renovation. Absolutely stunning result! If you are looking for talent and professionalism, Kissing Tree is the right choice!
