I cannot say enough wonderful things about Design on a Dime Interiors! They completely transformed my house into a masterpiece while staying within a reasonable budget. From our very first conversation, they took the time to understand who I am, my style, and how I wanted my home to feel.
What impressed me most was their ability to create spaces that are not only beautiful but also deeply personal. Every room feels warm, inviting, and uniquely "me." My house no longer just looks like a place to live—it truly feels like home. The design reflects my personality, my lifestyle, and the things that matter most to me.
Their attention to detail, creativity, professionalism, and affordability exceeded my expectations. They have an incredible talent for turning ideas into reality and making every dollar count.
If you're looking for a designer who listens, understands your vision, and creates a home that tells your story, I highly recommend Design on a Dime Interiors. They didn't just decorate my home—they transformed it into a space I absolutely love coming home to every day.

Mel and her team at Design on a Dime Interiors has finished another project for us and we couldn’t be happier! We had them update our “Airbnb” side of our house and they exceeded our expectations. It consisted of new flooring, kitchen remodel, painting several rooms and creating a more usable corner sitting area with custom upholstery. We highly recommend them and will definitely use them again for future projects! Follow them on instagram and you will see their work.

I called Design on a Dime Interiors to learn more about their services, and April was fantastic. As someone who had never hired an interior designer before, I had a lot of questions, and she answered every one with patience and professionalism. She made the process easy to understand and provided outstanding customer service. You could hear her smile through the phone! Thank you, April, for making such a great first impression. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I found Design on a dime on Google and read their reviews. I was impressed and decided to give them a try. True to what everyone was saying, I felt heard and they were a pleasure to work with.

I wanted to share my recent experience with Design on a Dime, which truly felt like working with the dream team of designers. After just one site visit, our Designer, Ali, immediately understood the vision we had for our space. Ali provided us with a PowerPoint presentation full of curated options for each room, making it clear that she not only listened but also cared deeply about our preferences. The process was wonderfully collaborative, as Ali and Mel both contributed their impeccable taste and creativity.

I also want to give a shoutout to April, who was always available via text and phone to relay messages and answer questions—a true customer service gem! And last but certainly not least, Daryl, the artwork magician, deserves recognition. Give Daryl six pieces of art and he will create a stunning collage that brings the room to life and makes your heart happy!

From start to finish, this experience with Design on a Dime was nothing short of magical. I highly recommend their team for anyone looking to transform their space with talented, attentive professionals. 5 Stars in every way!!

I hired the Design on a Dime team and had the pleasure of working with Mel and Carla. They were both very warm and took the time to truly listen to our input—especially when it came to functionality and durability, which was important to us with a baby and pets at home.

We brought them on to help design our forever home, which we purchased after moving from Massachusetts last year. I was really hoping to create a space that felt right for this next chapter, and I’m glad I took the chance to hire them.

As with any design project, there was some back and forth during the process, but in the end, they really nailed it!! The final design reflects exactly what we were hoping for: a beautiful, neutral color scheme with furniture that’s both easy to clean and family-friendly. It feels like us, and we couldn’t be happier with how our home turned out.

I also want to recognize Erin, their project support specialist. She was communicative, organized, and a huge help with scheduling. The entire install team was equally friendly and professional.

Mel runs a fantastic team, and I genuinely appreciated her insight and thoughtful feedback throughout. From the first meeting, she made a strong impression and brought a great energy to the project.

I highly recommend working with them!

I normally don't write reviews but Melody and her dream team truly deserve high praises. I looked at many designers but chose Design on a Dime. Boy am I happy I did!! I thoroughly enjoyed my experience working with them to create a styled interior that fits the vision I had. Melody completely transformed the first floor of my home. We added a fireplace with built in shelving and it is all stunningly beautiful!!!. She incorporated furniture I thought Iwanted to get rid of and made me love those old pieces again. Can't wait for our next project!!!!!!

As I had little experience with interior design, working with Mel and her team was a delight. Our personal preferences were always front and center in the choices she presented to us. Questions were always welcome and changes to the design were easy to update. She works to make your life, during a time when chaos reigns throughout the home, as smooth and stressless as possible. Choosing Mel and her team becomes a choice for professional expertise, intuitive connection, and personal service. Is there something else you actually need when making a change to a room or a whole house that will surround you for years to come? I didn't think so. Check into her before you sign elsewhere. Don't settle for the ordinary; not in your home and certainly not in your designer. We didn't. And we're very satisfied.

With Mel’s help I was able to save thousands of
dollars and still have a gorgeous home. I inherited much needed furniture for my new larger home after down sizing a few years ago. Problem was the furniture was not my style. After a day of furniture shopping I concluded my style just changed LOL. There were a couple of pieces that were so “interesting” I was certain I would rather leave the area empty. Anyway I heard about Mel, owner of Design On A Dime. Met with her once for less than an hour. Her excitement about all my “junk” honestly made me question her eye sight. Her confidence made me listen and I’m glad I did. We discussed likes & dislikes. She apparently was planning the whole time because the next time I saw her was my DISASTER area AKA house. I left for about four hours and returned to the most beautiful home. It brought me to tears. All of this mismatched hideous junk was peaceful, cohesive warm, beautiful and inviting. It felt like home. I honestly was just hoping for something I could “live with”. Instead I got a beautiful home I absolutely love!! I felt born again. Got me thinking what a great gift if everyone could have that same feeling. Mel is amazing and very affordable.
Mother’s Day is around the corner. Surprise your mom, wife, daughter with a heart felt emotional experience of rethinking the house. Kind of a little painless face lift for the house. If you’re on a tight budget maybe just the living room or bedroom. Baby coming, tweak the nursery for the 2nd child so it feels special & new like the first born got! Instead of the same old boring gift try redoing teens room, newlyweds house. I’m guessing Mel could even do as a surprise. Like I said she met with me once! The next time she came in with a crew and did my 2,000 sq ft home in 4 hrs. I did not move or change one thing. I selected blinds for kitchen windows once the house was done.
After installed I wasn’t thrilled. She immediately rectified and I’m thrilled with the replacement. She of course does amazing high end designs too.
They are many who do and are good. It is nice to have the high end designer look on just about any budget.

This was my first experience working with a designer, and I couldn’t be happier with the end result! Mel and Ali from Design on a Dime transformed my living room from an uninteresting builder-grade space into a warm and inviting space that is custom-made incorporating my design style. The built-in entertainment center is beautifully crafted, offering plenty of storage, shelving for décor, and the perfect spot for my TV.

They handled all the appointments with subcontractors and coordinated the entire process seamlessly while keeping me informed every step of the way. Their team took care of everything—from cabinetry and paint to electrical work—so I didn’t have to worry about a thing. They were also incredibly open to my ideas, incorporating my personal choices for light fixtures, and their attention to detail truly shows.

In addition to the living room, they gave my powder room a fresh new personality with a stunning mirror, statement wallpaper, and a stylish light fixture. Plus, the upgraded, dimmable ceiling lights throughout my home have made such a difference in creating a cozy stylish atmosphere.

I’m so thrilled with the results that I plan to work with them again to tackle storage solutions in my laundry room. If you’re looking for thoughtful design, expert craftsmanship, and a team that truly listens, I highly recommend Design on a Dime!

I can't say enough about Mel and her team. Design on a Dime is a first class business with their professionalism, getting things done in a timely manner while staying on budget and their friendliness. Mel and her team transformed my bathroom area into something I could never imagine. Any changes were communicated to me so I felt as if I had a say in everything they did. I would recommend Mel and her team to everyone. You won't be disappointed.

Melody and her team took on the complex task of remodeling our Los Angeles rental property and we loved the results! Melody executed our vision and worked with our contractor based in California which was no small feat. I couldn’t have asked for a better designer.

I can’t say enough good things about Design on a Dime and the incredible work that Mel and her team did for me. From start to finish, they transformed my space into something beyond what I could have imagined.

Mel truly has a gift for making overwhelming decisions feel effortless. I was feeling completely stuck trying to figure out colors, furniture, and layouts, but her guidance and expertise made the process so smooth. She listened to my preferences, offered thoughtful suggestions, and always made me feel confident in the decisions we made together.

What really stood out to me was how she managed to create such a stunning design while staying within my budget. Her team was professional, efficient, and a joy to work with, making the entire experience stress-free.

Mel and her team have been exceptionally professional, patient and accommodating. I didn't have a vision, but I knew I wasn't happy with my layout. Mel took the time to listen, run a few ideas by me and execute what I couldn't find words to ask for. It was as if she read my mind and knew exactly what I would like. I can not wait to host Christmas!!!! Thank you Mel and crew for turning my house into the home of my dreams!

Mel and her team were truly amazing! I had an Airbnb that Mel designed in a French Country theme. It turned out so beautiful. She designed, shopped, and installed everything. All for a low price! I always recommend Mel to my clients. As a real estate agent in the Woodlands, I have clients that want this type of white glove service. She is great to work with!

I just love Mel. I have sooo much anxiety when it comes to doing a renovation and redesign (I joke that she is also part therapist LOL!). Mel is incredibly flexible in learning and adapting to my style and delivering a design that is breathtaking. She is awesome at working with the contractors (even the bad ones). She has an eye for details and caught things the contractor was trying to sneak by me (so invaluable!). Every time someone fawns over my new bathrooms, I always say "you can tell I didn't do this because of how nice it turned out". Mel is great. I can’t wait for my next project so I can work with her again.

We are so pleased with the work Design on a Dime did on our first floor home makeover! They don’t just focus on aesthetic but also FUNCTION and adding value to the home. We handed them the reins, and it was the easiest, least stressful home improvement we’ve ever done (not to mention the most successful!). Since the makeover, my family spends most of our time in rooms that were previously unused. We’re also more comfortable and confident hosting friends in our new and improved space. We love it!

We also love the team at Design on a Dime! They are easy to work with, responsive, and they stayed within both the cost and time budget. We will be using them again in the very near future for other projects and highly recommend them!

I would highly recommend Design on a Dime. They did a great job on our kitchen and fireplace remodel. I challenged Mel on design issues because I thought I was an expert after watching all kinds of design Instagrams. Mel kept me grounded with excellent selections on countertops, hardware, paint and the fabulous kitchen lighting. Mel and Ali were a lot of fun with great ideas!
