✨ **Welcome to the Melissa Terese AI Design Lab!** ✨

Do you want some Custom Throw Pillows made by me??

Ever wondered what your room *could* become?

I'm selecting **5 real rooms** from our community and giving them a custom AI makeover, complete with ideas for:
• Furniture
• Custom Window Treatments
• Upholstery
• Decor Accents

**Here's how it works:**

📸 **Step 1:** Comment below with a photo of a room in your home you'd love to transform.

🎨 **Step 2:** I'll choose **5 rooms** and create a custom AI design concept for each one.

🗳️ **Step 3:** I'll share all five makeovers here on Facebook, and **YOU** will vote for your favorite transformation.

🎁 **Step 4:** The room with the most votes wins a **custom set of two handcrafted throw pillows** made by me at Melissa Terese Upholstery & Design Studio! (Winner may select from my stock of remnant fabrics to have custom pillows made)

**SHARE THIS POST:** Whoever has the most "shares" will also win a set of 2 throw pillows made by me! (The winner may select from my stock of pillows I've already made) Must share atleast 3 times to be eligible to win!

Whether your room needs a little inspiration or a complete refresh, I'd love to show you what's possible.

Ready to see your space through fresh eyes?

✨ WHY AI?

Because a fabric swatch or catalog photo doesn’t always help you imagine what an entire room could become.

At Melissa Terese Upholstery, we use AI as a visualization tool to combine products we offer into inspiring, beautifully coordinated spaces. It allows our clients to explore something new, different—and sometimes a little bolder—before making final design decisions.

AI doesn’t replace professional interior design. Both Alicia and Melissa hold design degrees and bring more than 20 years of combined experience to every project. We provide the creativity, product knowledge and professional judgment; AI helps us communicate the vision.

AI visualization can help you:

• See fabrics, furnishings and window treatments working together
• Explore colors and patterns outside your comfort zone
• Compare design directions before ordering
• Communicate your preferences more clearly
• Move forward with greater confidence

This dining room is an inspirational concept, but its featured design ingredients are available—and this layered, dramatic look is achievable when you hire Melissa Terese Upholstery to guide your redesign.

💙 FABRIC FRIDAY: The Blues Are Back!

Blue is having a major design moment—and this updated color story is anything but predictable.

One of today’s strongest interior trends is creating rooms that feel layered, expressive and collected. We’re seeing:

✨ Traditional florals used in fresh, modern ways
✨ Stripes mixed confidently with larger prints
✨ Tonal palettes that range from airy blue to dramatic navy
✨ Luxurious, touchable textures like velvet
✨ Performance fabrics that combine beauty with real-life durability

The secret to successful pattern mixing is variation. Begin with one statement print, introduce a smaller structured pattern, then give the eye a place to rest with coordinating solids and textures.

For this palette, our Wedgewood floral brings the personality, the Aqua stripe adds structure, Sky keeps it light, and Navy velvet grounds the entire story.

Which fabric would you use on the chair—and which ones would become the pillows? 💙

Available through Melissa Terese Upholstery & Design Studio.

FABRICS FEATURED:

• 6404 Wedgewood Floral
• D2129 Aqua Stripe
• D2245 Sky — Crypton Posh
• D1917 Navy — Luxe Velvet
