  • Melanie Thomas is a color-loving maximalist and can help you navigate the complicated waters of art-forward interiors.

    This includes:

    • help with layout and flow

    • color choices

    • wallpaper selection

    • art selection

    • product suggestions

    • styling choices

    • Suggestions for contractors, installers or personal contacts

    • Providing measurements

    • Requests to order trade only items

    • 2D layout renderings, elevation or CAD drawings for the space

  • Typically, in order to get to the heart of the issue and see the space first-hand, we typically can cover 1-2 issues at most during a 30 minute consultation.

  • We encourage you to make the most of the 30 minutes and have your questions ready during the timeframe. If you have any follow up questions, please book another session!

  • All consultations are done via Google Meet.

    Prior to booking the session, MTD asks that all consultees fill out an exhaustive form and include at least 4 pictures of their space in question.

  • Prior to the session, MTD will send an exhaustive form to fill out but that is the extent of contact.

  • Because 30 minute goes fast, MTD likes to encourage prospective consultees to prepare as much as possible.

    Here are a few (totally optional!) suggestions to consider: - write out a list of all the questions you’d like to get answered - list out any links you’d like to share with Melanie - put together a simple document / slideshow / presentation to walk Melanie through via Google Meet’s screen share feature. This document could include photos of your space, pieces of furniture or decor you have your eye on (or already own), mood board images, swatches of materials – anything you like!

  • All devices are welcome, but we find the best results with a PC or laptop.

  • E-design services often include 2D rendering, expert picked color and wallpaper selection, links to products, etc.

    Design Chat is simply support for those who have done all the leg work but now need a little extra guidance.

Hello!

I'm Melanie Thomas, your go-to maximalist L.A. interior stylist! As seen in Architectural Digest, The Zoe Report, Better Homes & Gardens, The Spruce, Real Homes and more.

If you’re like me, you’ve had it up to here with those snooze-inducing showrooms that are more "museum" than "home". I'm flipping the script on home styling, and let me tell you, there won't be any rulebooks or tedious style history lessons involved. Just pure creativity.
