HOME STYLING & STAGING
We're a socially-conscious interior design company in Minneapolis, MN.
A FRESH APPROACH
TO INTERIOR DESIGN
IN MINNESOTA
A different kind of interior design experience.
Collaborative. Advice-based.
And built around you.
Unlike traditional designers who take the reins in creating
and deciding every detail of your space, we will work
hand in hand with you to bring your vision to life.
Our talented team of interior designers help you see possibilities,
think clearly, guide, inspire, and educate you on the art of creating a functional, beautiful and joyful home.
You'll be empowered to make informed decisions,
allowing your personality and preferences to shine
through every corner of your space.
This collaborative approach works well if:
• You have ideas and want to collaborate with a designer
• You enjoy learning about all things home
• You are hands-on
• Want to work within your budget and time frame
• Need a fresh set of eyes
• Need a professional, non-biased third party to help make decisions
• You're overwhelmed choosing flooring, paint and everything else
OR
If any of these thoughts have ever entered your mind:
- How should I arrange my furniture?
- Where to get new furniture?
- How do I even start updating my house?
- How do I make it look cohesive, inviting, finished?
- I'm so stuck, I don't even know where to start.
- How do I manage all these toys?!
– Can I use this space better?
- I’m afraid to make a bad decision.
- I wish I could share my thoughts with a professional
– I think I know how I want to remodel my .... but I'm not 100%
– What will give me the best bang for my buck?
– Where is my money best spent?
- Do I have to spend so much money on... ?
- I want wallpaper. Where do I get it? Who installs it?
So.
Many.
Questions.
After your Interior Design Consultation with one of our talented interior designers, you’ll leave with a clear vision and a confident plan for your home. You’ll finally be able to see what’s possible — and know exactly how to move forward.

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!
