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.
Our Method
We help families apply our method of:

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 as a Change Manager 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!
