Welcome to Family Friendly Designs.
And seriously….
We’re here to rescue you.
Our Approach
We know what you’re going through. We’ve been there. You have way too much on your plate — house, kids, pets and work. No way are you going to have the time to study sofa fabrics to determine which of them might stand up best to all the abuse. You don’t want an apple juice spill or spit-up (or worse) to cause you to have a nervous breakdown.
You don’t want to buy throw-away furniture and rugs, either.
That’s not your style. Nor is it ours.
Based in Mill Valley and serving the San Francisco Bay Area, Family Friendly Designs is ready to help you find, order and arrange everything needed for a lifestyle that fits you and your family today, and for years to come.
