Thankful for the design consultation that I did with Melanie in October 2023. There's an extensive design prework that occurs prior to the consultation so that she understands your style and preferences which was extremely helpful for our meeting. She gave me an amazing amount of constructive feedback on home…
We had our session with Melanie a few days ago - we got so much good advice and direction, I can’t thank her enough! This was my first time working with an interior designer and I wasn’t sure about the process, but Melanie did a great job of guiding us. We really needed help thinking through and defining the use of…
I can't say enough good things about working with Happy Place Interiors. I was specifically looking for a interior decorating company that could meld some of my parents existing furniture items while then targeting key pieces that we needed to purchase. As a background my parents moved from a house to a townhome.…
Melanie is the BEST! We just moved in to our new home, and I really didn't know what wasn't working, but things felt a little off IN and OUTside of our home. She gave us amazing ideas to help create more visual interest, considered kids, function, aesthetic, and considered budget/priorities based on project…
We ended our Ideas and Inspiration Interior Design Consult with Melanie feeling excited, inspired, and very comfortable with where to start. Melanie had so many interesting ideas that we never would have come up with on our own, or would not have been brave enough to try without her reassurance. Her ideas struck the…
Happy Place Interiors made me very HAPPY !!! Love that I could purchase services and consults as needed. Melanie is extremely professional, knowledgeable and inspirational. She listened to my needs and offered several options for the layout of my living area. I will definitely contact her again for consultation. Very pleasant experience.
Our Ideas & Inspiration Design Consultation with Melanie was awesome! We've been in our house over 11 years and have never really felt like the room layouts/furniture have 'worked' for us. I was looking for someone who could come in and give us suggestions and help us envision what we could do - and that's exactly…
We recently had Melanie over for a couple hours to look at our home and give us some interior design ideas. We want to do some updates to our home but didn’t know where to start. When I first looked at her website and saw how far out it would be for our first meeting I was hesitant to book the appointment. I am so…
Melanie helped me envision a usable and beautiful design for an awkwardly shaped living room and dining room, including accounting for pets and kids. She started rearranging furniture almost immediately and made even using what I had look great. She helped me create a plan and pick out paint colors, and I have my…
I had an incredibly positivity experience with Melanie. I met with her for a 2 hour consultation and ideas meeting. We covered so much in a short period of time including furniture layout for two rooms and whole house paint color scheme.
Terrific experience using Melanie’s creativity after she listened well to our interests and needs. Our rooms are taking shape and we plan to call her again as the project evolves.
If you like general reviews: Loved her. Loved being pushed to finally do something. Loved being “forced” to clean up, purge, and organize. If you like specifics: What I loved: She took the time to get to know me (tour of the house, my favorite things in my house…) before ever entering or discussing the spaces I…
Melanie was great help in redesigning our home, picking out new furniture, picking paint colors and hanging our art in a beautiful, homey way. She was great at listening to two different perspectives and helping us both to compromise. I would use her skills again in a heartbeat since we can’t pull together a cohesive style on our own.
We had Melanie out to our house recently to help us with a living room remodel project. I think my husband thought I was crazy at first to want to hire a designer to help us out on a one room project, but by the end of the consult, he was fully onboard and agreed it was well worth it. We were struggling with how…
Melanie gave me some great feedback on areas of my house I would like to improve. She is easy to talk to and very knowledgeable.
Wow, call Melanie immediately if you’re looking for a designer that is personable and interested in helping you design your home in a way that you want! She is amazing! Honestly, she should be on TV. From the first intake form you fill out to the in home meeting, it is clear she is committed to understanding your…
Melanie and Happy Interiors is exactly what I needed! I have most of my furniture set, collected over years, and did not want to work with someone whose time is compensated for by commissions off furniture purchases - i just don't need that much. I wanted to pay someone by the hour to tell me what was working,…
Melanie was the best. It felt like having a friend (an expert friend) come over and offer honest and cost-effective advice as to how to spruce up our main floor. Melanie's visit was relaxed and fun and she left us with a host of great ideas as to how to redo out kitchen (without a complete renovation) as well as…
