Our Services
A peaceful home doesn’t just happen on its own - it takes intentional thought and care. Through a mix of design tips, strategies, and systems, our guidebook and consulting services help families create calm, nurturing spaces where children can thrive and the chaos of early childhood feels a little more manageable — and a lot more joyful.

When these two concepts are combined, your home begins to hum: daily routines flow more smoothly, emotions are regulated, and home is a place of peace and connection.
Our Offerings
Guidebook
Curated Calm: The Guidebook - How to create a home that empowers children and eases parenting
When a physical space is cluttered, stress levels spike and it’s easy to feel overstimulated. Visual clutter interferes with a child’s cognitive development, sense of safety, emotion regulation, and more. For parents, a disorganized home can put you in survival mode, fighting to get ahead of to-do lists, and struggling to regulate your own emotions.
Whether you’re overwhelmed by an accumulation of toys, struggling to plan lunches and dinners, or seeking smoother mornings (where everyone leaves the house with what they need!), we have solutions that will bring peace to your home - and family.
Purchase our comprehensive, room-by-room, step-by-step guidebook that will teach you how to create a home that empowers children and eases parenting.

Meet Holly Merullo and Kelly Marques —
Co-Founders of Curated Calm
We're twin sisters, moms to young children, and lifelong believers in the power of a peaceful, nurturing home. Our passion for nurturing children runs deep, rooted in our mother’s 30-year career in early childhood education. Influenced by our upbringing, we both began our own careers in early childcare centers, while pursuing degrees in Elementary Education and Psychology, respectively. We have carried our passions for teaching, guiding, and coaching into our careers- Holly as a certified PreK through Grade 6 teacher, and Kelly at a global management consulting firm.
Curated Calm blends our two passions: thoughtful home design, and early childhood best practices. We believe a well-designed home, paired with simple, sustainable routines, can have a powerful impact on a child’s growth, development, and emotion regulation - and on the entire family’s well-being and happiness. Curated Calm aims to bring a greater sense of peace to family life, so the beauty of the early childhood years can be appreciated and enjoyed to their fullest extent.
Through practical strategies, systems, and home design solutions, we are here to help you create a home where you and your children can thrive.
We can’t wait to meet you!
