After nearly 17 years in the film business, Marjorie Skouras elected to follow her passion and entered the field of interior design. With a B.A. in Art History from U.C.L.A, and several years of training as a fine arts photographer, the initial venture into the film business was accidental. Marjorie Skouras Design has now been fruitfully in business for eleven years.
Using her own house a testing ground, Skouras honed her skills in both design work and shopping for unusual pieces. A mix of both periods and styles, as well as a generous use of color distinguish her style. When asked to define her personal style, she responds that it is fairly traditional, but almost always with a twist, and playfulness is a constant element. Having said this, she is equally at ease with both modern and the more straightforward traditional styles. Philosophically, Skouras feels that her job is to interpret her client’s needs and desires, and to present design concepts to them that enhance their lives, while at the same time maintaining a sense of practicality.
Over the course of the past ten years, she has worked on many diverse projects, ranging from single rooms to 17,000 square foot houses, as well as several Design Showcase houses. In addition to her interior design work, Skouras has a line of luxury home products and lighting, which she continues to expand. Showrooms now represent the line nationally. Her design work and products have been featured in every major shelter publication in America, as well as numerous publications worldwide. In May 2007, Skouras had the cover of the Metropolitan Home Design 100 issue, and was hailed as one of the most influential designers in America. She was also nominated one of the most prominent designers in Los Angeles in the October 2007 issue of Metropolitan Home Magazine. Ms. Skouras has also been seen on several television shows; including the HGTV show “The Kitty Bartholomew Show” three times, The Joan Agajanian Quinn Interviews, and the French television show “Interieurs”.
The High Point Furniture Market of October 2011 marks a new milestone for the growing brand with the launch of Marjorie Skouras’ line for Currey & Company.
Ms. Skouras was born a third generation San Franciscan, and was raised between San Francisco and Los Angeles, with a two year sojourn on the island of Corfu in Greece, an experience that certainly shaped her destiny. She resides under the Hollywood sign with her true love Bruno, her glorious daughter India, and their Dachshunds George Pompidou and Sultana.
