Or If You’ve Ever Thought…

How should I arrange my furniture?
-
Where do I even buy new furniture?
-
How do I start updating my house?
-
How do I make it feel cohesive… finished… pulled together?
-
I’m so stuck, I don’t even know where to begin.
-
Can I use this space better?
-
I’m afraid to make the wrong decision.
-
I wish I could just talk this through with a professional.
-
Is this remodel idea actually going to work?
-
What gives me the best bang for my buck?
-
Where should I invest—and where can I save?
-
Do I really have to spend that much on this?
-
I want wallpaper… but where do I even start?

We hired Melanie for an Ideas and Design consultation and had a wonderful experience. Melanie provided us with small tweaks we could make to our home that would make a big difference.
She also helped us decide what projects would be best to focus on and what would give us the “biggest bang for our buck.”
Melanie came to the consultation very prepared and provided us with many resources to help with our next steps. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Melanie and would recommend her to anyone looking for an interior designer.

Melanie did a lovely job helping me to get "unstuck" in envisioning a better design for several rooms in my house, particularly the bedroom and dining room and to come up with a plan to move forward.
She is excellent at seeing the possibilities with your current furniture and showing new ways to arrange the space.
I felt a sense of relief and a boost of energy after her visit, and can't wait to get started. Thanks, Melanie!

Happy Place Interiors made me very HAPPY!!! I 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.

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 balance of being fresh, inspiring and practical. My partner and I had different decor and design ideas, and Melanie was able to offer suggestions that somehow met both of our visions. Highly, highly recommend!
