At the heart of Melissa Mae Design is a simple yet profound belief: our clients are our muse. Each home we design is a reflection of the people who live there. Your personality, passions, and preferences guide every decision, ensuring a space that feels deeply personal and undeniably extraordinary.
We approach interior design as an art form, blending aesthetics and functionality to create spaces that resonate on a soul-deep level. By celebrating art, form, and individuality, we ensure that every project tells a story—your story.
"When I was a little girl, I cut out pictures of rooms and loved looking through house plans and designs, so when I bought my home and decided to make it mine, I had high expectations – and Melissa exceeded them! When we first met, we just talked about me, my style, and what was important to me. She listened closely and in our next meeting had a design that was almost perfect – which is very hard to do with my critical taste! All along the way she pulled together fabrics, designs, styles and colors that maybe I would not have chosen myself, but together they looked amazing! I travel a lot for work and Melissa was there sending me pictures via text and email to keep us on plan. When there were a few little hiccups with contractors – she called them and worked out a few solutions that I was able to then decide on a direction. Melissa went above and beyond in every way and she even gave me a housewarming gift – two custom-made Melissa Mae original pieces of art – that look perfect in my living room! I already plan on calling her again for my next project! She is the consummate professional, visionary, supporter, artist and dream maker. She gave me my dream living space!"

"Melissa was instrumental in the turnkey remodeling of our 7,000 sq. ft home in Utah. Melissa was exceptional to work with despite our very tight deadline to furnish the entire house before ski season. We entertain frequently, and every single guest has commented on how tasteful, unique, and inviting the house looks thanks to Melissa’s work."

"Upon buying a new home, my wife and I thought we could handle basic decorating decisions such as paint color, curtain color, window treatments, backsplash design, etc. However, once we got started, a sixth sense was telling me that some of our choices just weren’t going to come together the way we had hoped, and we needed help. Melissa stepped in and immediately helped us sort through the confusion and came up with fantastic ideas and suggestions that we now look at every day and LOVE! Our home’s interior is beautiful, and we marvel at how wonderfully it all came together. I still have $400 of paint in my garage that will likely never be used anywhere (a $400 lesson learned about trying to make design decisions ourselves), and I wake up grateful every day that we called Melissa and sought her help.
Melissa is wonderful to work with, absolutely knows her stuff, and came up with several other amazing ideas for our home. She has the gift of “vision”, and envisioned things for our home that we love, and would never have thought of on our own. I’m so glad we called Melissa for help with our home. The beauty of our home today is directly linked to her amazing skill and talent!"

"Recently we remodeled a commercial building for a Mrs. Cavanaugh's Chocolates candy store in Orem, Utah. Melissa was absolutely wonderful to work with. We started from scratch and had to pick wall colors and flooring. She was very consider about asking what my tastes were, without forcing her likes onto me. She would gently steer me in the right direction and has an amazing eye for color. She came up with 4 colors for the walls that I would have never dreamed of putting together, and they work very well. We get compliments all the time on our store. Melissa is very easy to work with, upbeat, positive, and very thorough. She spends the time necessary to complete the job with stunning results. I highly recommend Melissa."

"When deciding to decorate my open floor plan great room, I wanted to do it right the first time. My stark white walls left me unable to decide what direction to take. That is where Melissa came in. Melissa was professional, friendly, and most importantly, she really took the time to get to know my style and what I like. She was able to take the ideas I had in my head and make it come together so it looked polished. She helped me pick the right paint colors and even came with me to a store and walked me through picking out decorations. I love how the space turned out. I frequently get compliments about how gorgeous my great room looks. I wish I could take all the credit. Melissa's services were definitely worth the investment. I now have a space I will love for years to come."
