Atlanta, has a style that’s not easy to categorize—her work spans from transitional to more contemporary, lively to neutral. The chapter titles in her book, Inviting Interiors (Rizzoli New York, 2021), reveal volumes: “Clarity,” “Colorful,” “Calm,” “Collected,” and “Cool.”
She’s a master at creating a moment, whether it’s amethyst rock crystal lamps on a buffet or a mustard-yellow-skirted settee in a foyer. Her rooms are nuanced and never dull, even in the more quiet spaces. “Regardless of style, I approach every new project with zeal—always curious, always seeking out what’s new, what’s next, what surprising delight waits around the corner,” says Melanie. “I love embarking on these journeys in decorating with my clients.”
