Alario speaks to Tuxedo Park alumni mother’s group Warwick — Marina Case Alario, principal designer of The Red Shutters in Warwick, a national interior design firm, recently staged a decorating workshop, “Your Home: The Story of Your Life,” at the Tuxedo Club in Tuxedo Park. Alario provided examples showcasing how design can reflect an individual’s life story -- whether displaying artifacts from travels, antiques, furniture pieces or a specific collection built over a lifetime. She also spoke about how this approach inspires discussions among clients and their guests, creating meaningful and memorable connections.
