"Home should be a comfortable reflection of our best self. My goal is to put the pieces of the puzzle together to understand what makes each client unique and to translate that essence into a beautiful space." - Melanie Elston

Melanie understands her clients are sophisticated and multifaceted individuals with an array of interests, and her design aesthetic reflects this vibrant complexity. While each project is unique, her hallmark interiors are at once eclectic and elegant, bold and subtle, a marriage of modern and vintage. Colors are warm, fabrics and textures are inviting, and the result is a space that feels like home: graceful and comfortable.

During her career, Melanie has been privileged to work with esteemed firms from Dallas to Vail to Chicago, where she worked with Nate Berkus. Her informed taste, enthusiastic accessibility, and sage advice have elicited respect and repeat business from a discerning clientele. Melanie currently works on projects across Virginia, the southeast and Chicago.
