“A room that doesn't function cannot be beautiful. And until you understand why a space feels wrong, you're decorating over the problem — not resolving it.”

What Makes Our Studio Different

  • Beautiful homes aren't built by following trends.

    They're created by understanding how people truly live.

  • You don't need to knock down walls to transform a room.

    Whenever possible, we work with your existing furnishings, layering in thoughtful additions where they'll have the greatest impact.

  • Every home is different.

    Whether you're refreshing a single room or planning a larger transformation, recommendations are tailored to your priorities and budget.

  • No two homes—or families—are alike.

    Every recommendation is thoughtfully curated for the way you live.

From Our Clients

  • Neutral living room, with natural elements, and soft furnishings.

    RR-VD COLOMBIA PROJECT

    Melissa designed and remodeled my apartment in Colombia. It was excellent, highly professional work; the result was exactly what I wanted. She was meticulous about every detail and took great care to ensure everything turned out perfectly—I am delighted with her work. Now, a year later, I am truly enjoying my apartment. Thank you, Melissa, for your work and dedication.

  • KC -WEST COAST PROJECT

    I moved into my apartment during a separation, and it felt exactly like what it was: a generic space I hadn’t chosen and didn’t feel connected to. I wasn’t looking for something trendy. I was looking for something that felt like a home, lived in, cozy, like I’d been there all along.

    I came to Melissa with mood boards and a general sense of the themes I wanted, but she was the one who actually brought it to life. She took the time to understand how I live before she suggested anything, and that mattered more than I expected. Her attention to detail is what impressed me most. When she got hands-on with the styling, she made choices I never would have thought of myself, and somehow they were exactly right.

    The apartment doesn’t feel decorated. It feels like home, calm and personal in a way I didn’t think was possible with the space I started with. Since then, coming home has genuinely changed how I feel day to day. It’s made a real difference for my mental health, having a space that feels like mine to come back to. If you’re considering working with Melissa, know that she isn’t just picking out furniture. She’s paying attention to who you are and building a space around that.

  • GR - VD COLOMBIA PROJECT

    I want to express my gratitude to the firm MH&Co. and their team for such excellent work on our apartment in Colombia. Melissa, the interior designer, was very helpful and professional with all her opinions and recommendations, meeting all our expectations. Thanks again for your hard work. ❤️ 10/10

Frequently Asked Questions

  • After booking, you'll receive a confirmation email along with a short Project Questionnaire. This helps me learn about your space, your goals, and how you live so I can prepare before our consultation.

  • Before we meet, you'll complete the Project Questionnaire and upload photos of your space. If available, measurements and a short walkthrough video are also helpful.

    During our session, we'll review your space together, discuss your goals, and begin developing a personalized plan tailored to your home and lifestyle.

  • We'll meet in your home and walk through the space together. I'll assess the room, take any additional measurements if needed, discuss your goals, and begin developing a plan based on how you live and what you'd like to achieve.

  • Not at all.

    Whenever possible, we'll incorporate the pieces you already own and love. New furnishings and décor are recommended only where they'll have the greatest impact on your space.

  • No. Service fees cover design expertise, planning, and deliverables.

    Any furnishings, décor, artwork, storage solutions, or accessories are purchased separately, and you'll always have the opportunity to review recommendations before making any purchases.

  • Absolutely.

    Thoughtful design isn't about spending more—it's about making intentional decisions. Every recommendation is tailored to your priorities and budget, and we'll focus on the changes that will make the greatest impact.

  • Every project is unique. Following your consultation, you'll receive a personalized timeline based on the scope of your project. Smaller services may be completed within a few days, while Room Reset and Style Evolution projects typically require additional time for design development, sourcing, and refinement.

  • Yes—and in many cases, that's exactly where we begin.

    One of the core principles of Melrose Home & Co. is creating thoughtful, lasting spaces by identifying what already works before introducing something new. Often, rearranging existing furnishings alongside a few carefully selected additions creates the greatest transformation.

  • Recommendations are thoughtfully curated based on your home, lifestyle, goals, and budget. I source from a variety of retailers, artisan makers, vintage finds, and small businesses to create spaces that feel collected over time rather than purchased all at once.
