-
How should I arrange my furniture?
-
Is this the right size of furniture?
-
How do I start updating my house?
-
How do I make it look cohesive, inviting, finished?
-
I'm stuck, I don't even know where to start.
-
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 .... but I'm not 100%
-
What will give me the best bang for my buck?
-
“I just need someone to tell me what to do!”
-
“Pinterest is pretty, but it's not helping me make progress.”
-
“I’m scared of making expensive mistakes.”
So.
Many.
Questions.
That’s exactly why Happy Place Interiors exists—
to help you create a beautiful, functional home that actually feels like you.
No guesswork.
No big-budget requirements.
Just clear, creative support from a designer who gets it.
Create a vision for your home
Whether you opt to join the Happy Place Design Club, or schedule a personal design session, you’ll gain clarity on a vision for your home. A beautifully designed home begins with a clear vision — find yours here.
Learn simple & practical approaches
You might call it layman’s terms, but we like to think of it as "simple-speak." We've made interior design fun and easy, breaking it down so anyone can grasp the magic of transforming their space.
Cut the confusion
With endless design advice flooding TikTok and the web, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure about what’s actually effective or in style. We’ll clear up the confusion and break things down for you. We’ll help you focus on what really matters in design.
Develop skills for a lifetime
With award-winning designer Melanie, you'll learn skills that aren’t just trendy but timeless. These design tips will stay useful year after year, and home after home.
Make smart decisions
When you learn the basics (and beyond) of interior design, you'll be able to make smart decisions on purchasing furniture, decor, remodeling or updating your home.
Save thousands of $$$$
With a quart of paint costing about $50, who can afford to make mistakes? When you know the basics of interior design and color, you can make better choices and avoid wasting hundreds or thousands on things you don’t like or worse, things you can’t change, like flooring or countertops.
Gain confidence
Picture having full confidence in every home decision you make! Our mission is to equip you with the interior design knowledge needed to make informed choices and feel assured in your decisions.
Relieve stress & anxiety
If every choice feels overwhelming, our simple, practical and easy-to-learn design rules will help you make better and more confident decisions and ease that anxiety. Let’s simplify things and make your space more relaxing.
You're in the right place if you’re
craving a home that finally feels right.
Melanie will guide, inspire, and educate you on the art of creating a beautiful and joyful home. Through collaborative efforts and expert guidance, she will empower you to make informed decisions, allowing your personality and preferences to shine through every corner of your space.

Hi,
I'm Mel.
I believe great design and a home that makes you feel fabulous shouldn’t be overwhelming or out of reach.
That’s why I created Happy Place Interiors locally in Minnesota. After 9 years and helping more than 2,000 homeowners across the U.S. transform their spaces, I created mini courses and The Happy Place Design Club in addition to my Virtual interior Design Consultations— for more flexibility in the way you like to learn and how you want to transform your home.
With over 100 five-star Google reviews, I’m happy to be known for making interior design fun, approachable, and personalized—no matter where you live.

Interior design help that turns
“What should I do with this room?”
into
“I can’t believe this is my home.”
I felt so comfortable sharing my home and its nuances with Melanie, and she knew exactly how to encourage and inspire me.
I will refer to her as my home décor therapist going forward!
– Jean
Thank you so much for your vision! Honestly I am now excited for the first time about this house and can finally see a way forward.
– Imelda
I received more from you in our short time together than eight people combined that I’ve paid sufficient money to.
You are an inspiration!
– Tracy
Melanie is an incredibly talented designer.
We have had the pleasure of consulting with her on a variety of projects, and she has been superb at them all. She covers a lot of ground in a short amount of time, and the design ideas just flow from her so smoothly & naturally.
All of her suggestions make so much sense,
it's like a design light bulb goes on in your head every time she presents an idea!
– Hoda
Thank you, Melanie!
I was a little intimidated to have someone help, but your openess, enthusiasm and practical tips were awesome.
– Starr
