Full Service Design?
Design Consultation?
E-Design?
Office-Hours Meetings?

Most homeowners don’t know what type of interior design help they need… or what the differences are.

So I created a simple quiz to help you figure out what type of design support fits your personality, project and budget best✨

There’s no ā€œrightā€ way to design a home. There’s only the right fit for you.

Take the quiz to see what fits you best.

We added another Melanie to the Happy Place Interiors team… because apparently one wasn’t enough. šŸ˜„

We are SO excited to welcome Melanie Lindahl as our newest interior design consultant!

Melanie brings 9 years of staging and decorating experience and has such a thoughtful, calming approach with homeowners. She’s incredibly talented at helping people feel less overwhelmed and more confident about their space.

Through a 90 Minute Ideas & Inspiration Consultation, she can help with:

✨ Furniture layouts
✨ Decorating ideas
✨ Finding your vision & style
✨ What to keep vs. replace
✨ Fabric & finish selections
✨ New furniture ideas
✨ Pulling spaces together so they finally feel right

These consultations have been in really high demand, so I’m excited to now have additional openings available in June. šŸ¤

She’s warm, creative, encouraging, and truly loves helping people create homes that feel comfortable and welcoming.

We’re so lucky to have another Melanie around here. (Although internally this may become slightly chaotic. šŸ˜‚)

Welcome, Melanie!

AI render, not AI design thinking.

This new table and dining chairs quickly updates this eat in kitchen area.

Then bench against the wall anchors the table. And since the space is extremely limited, the bench visually allows the table to be closer to the wall than normal without it feeling or looking cramped.

A quick AI render allows me to visualize my vision and design problem solving, but it certainly doesn’t replace it.

I used to do this rendering with Photoshop (and sometimes I still do), but I love being able to do it so quickly!

People ā¤ļø being able to bounce ideas off a professional interior designer without a big investment.

Which is why I’ve been booked out for months since 2016.

But that changes now— I’m excited to introduce Deb, my new interior designer working with Happy Place Interiors and providing design Consultations.

I’ve know Deb for years and have always been impressed by her professionalism, talent and her ability to listen.

The listening, caring combined with talent is why I brought Deb on board.

We work with real people in regular homes helping them utilize spaces better, make smarter remodeling decisions and helping them create a space that reflects them— not us.

And now with Deb on board, we’re booking April appointments, not june!

Welcome Deb!
Our clients are lucky to have you!

I loved meeting my local
Edina reps (Hope and Austin) at our MN RESA (Real Estate Staging Association) meeting this week.

It was very inspirational for new looks, trends, but most importantly, I learned better ways I can serve my clients by teaming up better with them.

My client and I LOVE this vision for her dining room.

This ā€œafterā€ is a ChatGPT rendering — and when it’s used well, AI can be a really powerful way to visualize design ideas before you make a change.

But here’s the really honest thing:
• Not every AI-generated idea is realistic.
• Not every pretty rendering is actually a good idea for your home..
• And not every ā€œwowā€ AI moment works in real life.

That’s where the experience of a designer still matters.

Visual tools are incredible for exploring possibilities — but knowing what will actually work for your home, your layout, and your life is what turns a good idea into a great decision.

This is how I work with clients and members:
We use tools to visualize, then apply real design judgment to make sure it’s feasible, functional, and feels right long-term.

✨ If you love exploring ideas but want a designer’s eye guiding the process, that’s what I do inside the Happy Place Design Club — and during interior design consultations too.
