design chat

Typically, in order to get to the heart of the issue and see the space first-hand, we typically can cover 2-3 issues at least during a 60 minute consultation.
-
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
-
We encourage you to make the most of the 60 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 60 minutes 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 LA-based maximalist interior stylist! Sick of boring showrooms? Me too! Let's ditch the rulebooks and bring in pure creativity.
For seven years, I played it safe with beige and grey, but in 2020, I broke free into a world of vibrant colors and unique pieces. My work's been featured in top publications like Architectural Digest and Real Homes, just to name a few.
Not everyone's cup of tea? That's cool. But if you're ready to inject some personality into your space, let's chat!
Kind words.

If I had one call up to heaven to talk to my mother who passed, I would use it to tell her how much I love this garage.

Melanie is a master at making a one of a kind personalized space! She injects the perfect amount of color, texture, and pattern. I am blown away with the results and excited to put some of my DIY skills to use. I'm already looking around my house to see what other rooms she can bring to life.

I am SO EXCITED by the designs you sent over! I know my taste is a bit more unusual than the basics and I love to blend of styles/colors/patterns, so I appreciate your excitement to take on the task!

We couldn’t decide what to do with our guest house. It was an unhappy, sad looking mess. Enter Melanie! What a blessing. She designed a space had color, but not too much - just splashes. And she created nice touch of modern and vintage. She surprised us did things we couldn’t even imagine. My wife and I are finally talking again. So hire Mel if you want to your house looking good and want to save your marriage.

I love your colorful designs!! I am so relieved to finally find designers who use color I’m so bored with all of the neutral designs out there

So much inspiration. I just moved into a new house and the fucker is millennial gray throughout 😬 Currently trying to remedy that 😁
