We love it here, because we feel our identity expand with the untamed boundlessness of these landscapes.

Mountain Home Collective translates that love into the interior design of your dream mountain home. Because your Mountain home is so much more than walls — it is sanctuary, and inspiration. It is a place to gather, grow deep roots, and bloom anew. 

These values come to life through colors and textures, lighting and materials, spaces and shapes. Each piece in your home is a work of art in its own right, rich in craftsmanship and beauty, yet integral to the whole.

 

An interior design ethos of authenticity, beauty, and connection

Mountain Home Collective is a Montana interior design studio at the intersection of passion, community, artisan appreciation, and beauty. Why mountains? Perhaps we can't put that feeling into words, but we can speak it through design. 

The West calls to something deep in us — untamed and pure. Wildly original, yet timeless. Independent yet connected. Here, who we are, meets who we seek to become. We find our best selves in the Rocky Mountains of Southwest Montana.

Interior design inspiration is found in every Mountain vista — the rugged elegance of snowcapped peaks, the clarity and energy of free-flowing rivers, the sweetness and innocence of wildflower-filled meadows, the peace and perspective of rolling golden fields.

A countertop that would be perfect in a kitchen with a view of Lone Peak. Fabric that belonged in a cozy guest bedroom. Or, the perfect leather trim to adorn a lounge chair next to a wood-burning fireplace...

The mountains were calling. And in summer 2020, I made my way back to them, bringing my own Montana interior design firm to life — Mountain Home Collective."

 

Sara Marcille | Principal

"Mountain Home Collective is the result of a natural evolution, and a longstanding dream. It brings me back to my roots of mountain resort residential interior design.

When living in Chicago, working with one of the nation’s top interior design firms, it became clear that the West was where I belonged. Even while walking the showrooms of the world's most revered design centers or choosing high-end materials, furnishings, or light fixtures, all I could envision was how well these pieces would fit into thoughtful interior design for the perfect mountain home.

Alicia Topp | Design Coordinator

Born and raised in a small town in Southern Minnesota, Alicia moved to the mountains over 8 years ago and after falling in love with the big sky views, hasn't been able to leave. Her creative background started with Floral Design while she has always had a strong interest and appreciation for Interior Design. Alicia has been with Mountain Home Collective since December 2020 and is our Whitefish presence on the team.

Her favorite mountain activities include hiking in Glacier National Park, kayaking on Whitefish Lake, and S'more-making around a bonfire with her husband and friends.

KELSEY JORONEN | ARCHITECT

Kelsey grew up in Livingston, MT, and was raised exploring the mountains and soaking her toes in the Yellowstone River. Enchanted by the vernacular structures in the area, it was only natural for her to investigate how people can connect to this beautiful landscape in how they live. She gravitated towards architecture and received her MArch from Montana State and is a licensed Architect in the state of Montana.

Kelsey began her career working in several architecture firms that have proved instrumental in defining the local residential architecture. There she learned the importance of defining details that elevate designs and how to honor the relationships with the people that help a project come to fruition.

Outside of work, Kelsey loves to spend her time out in nature with her husband and two daughters and painting.
