Timeless designs, beautifully lived in
About F+L Home
F+L Home is an interior design studio and home destination in Middletown, Delaware, specializing in approachable, elevated design and decor that makes a beautiful home feel attainable.
Founded by Amber Shader, the creative entrepreneur behind F+L Boutique, F+L Home focuses on mini renovations, no-demo transformations, and elevated “look for less” interiors—thoughtfully reimagining existing spaces through color, texture, lighting, furnishings, wallpaper, textiles, and timeless details. Our approach is rooted in creating homes that are beautiful, functional, personal, and designed to be lived in. We bridge the gap between DIY homeowner design and traditional high-end, full-service interior design, offering a more approachable and thoughtful way to create a beautiful home without the need to gut and completely renovate it.
Rather than starting from scratch, F+L Home believes great design often comes from seeing what’s already there differently. We combine thoughtful sourcing with practical design solutions, helping clients refresh and elevate their homes without the cost, time, or disruption of a full-scale renovation.
F+L Home is also a brick-and-mortar home boutique, design studio, and sample library, offering a curated collection of home decor, wallpaper, textiles, furnishings, and distinctive gifts. Every piece is selected with the F+L aesthetic in mind—collected, layered, timeless, and never overly matched.
At F+L Home, we believe your home should feel like you—not everyone else. Our goal is to make good design more approachable, more personal, and more attainable.
