Interior Designer

MELANIE FOSTER

Melanie and her team strive to make your dream a reality by bringing a global and refined perspective to their design projects. She approaches each aspect of the project as a partnership to exceed expectations and create a truly inspiring home.

Melanie’s aesthetic stems from nature, finding harmony in the light entering your windows, the colour the light brings, complementing the defining features of your home.

Melanie takes a distinct ‘client first’ approach to her design and tirelessly creates beautiful personal homes. Her experience and friendly approach enable her to listen to her clients actively, interpret their individual briefs, and put them at ease from the first meeting. This allows the design process to flow, enabling them to relax and enjoy the remarkable transition to their dream home. Melanie believes that a relationship with her clients is the foundation of creating a beautiful home.
Located in CT, Melanie serves CT, NY and beyond.

MY Philosophy

Decorative living room corner with white ornate fireplace mantel, abstract sailboat painting, beige textured wall, round wall sconce with warm lighting, two marble vases, and upholstered armchair with light patterned fabric.

RELATIONSHIP

Forming a trusting relationship leads to intuative design.

INSIGHT

Unlocking design that feels truly personal.

EXPRESSION

Bringing to life a unique vision.

“Melanie is fantastic! She totally transformed our apartment into a beautiful and unique home. She handled all aspects of the work from design through execution and everything was beyond our expectations. Her attention to every detail is amazing. We could not be happier.”

— Michael Silver
“We have worked with Melanie over the course of many years and a number of projects. She is always a pleasure to work with and a consummate professional. She pours her heart and her keen sense of style into every detail of every project.   Melanie listens to your ideas and then turns them into spaces that are more beautiful than you could have imagined. We do not hesitate to recommend her for any project.”

“We’ve worked with Melanie for over a decade, beginning with the full interior design of our first home. She later played a central role in designing and managing the development of our custom home in Boston, working closely with the builder. She’s also designed interiors for our boat and plane—and through it all, has become a valued part of our family.”
