Do you believe a home should reflect the people who live there, rather than the latest design trend? So do we.
Staging
Staging your home for sale can significantly increase it’s value to prospective buyers. According to 2018 survey results of 4200 homes, 68% of staged homes sold for at least 9% more than their “un-staged neighbor’s” home.
Whether it’s an issue of reducing clutter, refreshing paint colors or simply rearranging things to maximize flow and functionality - we can help.
Remodeling Help
Remodeling a home can be overwhelming. It’s important to think through the long term effects of making structural changes to your home. How will these changes be integrated with the original architecture of my home? How will they function 5-10 years from now? Are they cost effective? SpaceLiFT can help you answer these questions and guide you through the process.
Space Planning
The first step in designing a space is figuring out how it needs to function and then placing your furniture accordingly to maximize function, flow and aesthetic appeal.
Once the bones are in place, art and accessories pull it all together. Each piece in a room should be thoughtfully placed to create balance, unity and an overall expression of who you are and how you live. It’s a process. We can help.
Party/Event Staging
Whether it’s an event space or your own home, inevitably there is work involved in setting up for a party or event. Space planning, lighting, tableware, flowers ... A dinner party for 8 or a cocktail party for 100, we can help create a gorgeous setting that will ensure your event is the talk of the town!
Our clients' happiness is what matters to us.
When it came time to transform our 100-year-old home and incorporate all the multi-generational furniture and memorabilia we had amassed into a new design, I knew I needed someone special to help. Melinda understood our need for functionality, our budget parameters, and our desire for a beautiful space. To our delight she accomplished all three, and perhaps most importantly, she did so while creating a space that felt deeply personal to us. Not only has the transformation given us a new-found joy in our home, but Melinda made the process fun.

“Melinda Knowles is all about infusing fresh air into spaces. She chose paint colors and arranged my entire home when I moved into my current home a couple of years ago. She is incredibly creative coupled with the ability to implement. She works to emulate your style and will incorporate as many of your current belongings as makes sense. In my last house, she gathered more things from my attic than I ended up purchasing. Melinda has a great eye and a focus on functionality as well.”

“We didn’t know what to expect when hiring an independent interior designer, but all I can say is WOW! We had previously engaged interior designers at Ethan Allen, but I hazard to guess that they would never have been able to create the look Melinda gave my son’s room—which so aptly reflects his personality. She really took the time to understand what my son liked and didn’t like. Since she has sons of her own, she was very good relating to a 16-year-old.”
Monica
“Her creativity is just… WOW. In addition to selecting everything from furniture, window treatments, ceiling fan, lamps, to duvet and pillows, she chose paint colors for my son’s room (hints of lavender) that I would never have even imagined. Orange and purple?? Who would have thought! We are all very jealous of the originality and togetherness of his room.”
Mariana“Melinda Knowles has a unique style, knows how to work within a budget and knows her way around vintage and or modern and has a wonderful eye for color and art. Her style is unique, and you will have a house like no one else. If this is what you want, please call her.”

“Melinda is authentic, wildly creative, collaborative and practical. She always brings out the best in me and my interiors.”
