She is very talented and we love the work she did with our vacation home so much that we also chose her for the interior design of our home in Scottsdale. We have been told several times by guests that it is one of the most beautifully decorated homes they have ever seen. HERE IS THE BIG THING- with both projects it was important that the spaces could be comfortably lived in. We have a dog and a teen and Tina listened and made our spaces full of family-friendly, lasting style! Thank you, Tina! We can’t say enough good things about Tina and Zia Interiors. We confidently refer Tina and will absolutely work with her again on future projects! **Comment from Tina Mellino- ZIA INTERIORS:** > What a pleasure it was and is, to have wonderful clients as you! > I am GRATEFUL for your compliments and friendship! **★★★★★ — Erin Dodd, May 2020** > Tina Mellino was a referral from several friends. She is a consummate professional, extremely talented, highly resourceful, solution driven, sincerely kind, super talented, budget conscience, detailed orientated, hands on, a great listener, visionary, and simply the best Interior Designer we have ever worked with! Thank you Tina for an exceptionally outstanding experience from A-Z! We loved working with Tina and look forward to working with her in the near future. Tina Mellino is simply the Best of the Best! If there was a 10 star rating that would be our pick! Thank you so much! Erin & Cliff Dodd **Comment from Tina Mellino- ZIA INTERIORS:** > Thank You!! > I thoroughly enjoyed working with you both in creating your 'spa-like' master bath & dream bedroom! **★★★★★ — Pat Anderson, Aug. 2019** > Tina was a joy to work with! She helped us with our furniture remodel for our condominium clubhouse. We had several pieces of furniture that needed to be reupholstered and updated. The fabrics she recommended were exactly what we were looking for. Everything worked together beautifully. If you are looking for someone who has a great eye for color and design, AND is easy to work with, Tina Mellino is the person you want. THANK YOU Tina! **Comment from Tina Mellino- ZIA INTERIORS:** > Thank You Pat! It’s never easy working on existing furniture and especially with HOA Funds. It looks terrific! And we accomplished it very efficiently! **★★★★★ — Sue Brennan, May 2019** > I can’t say enough great things about Tina! She listened to my ideas and concerns, and brought wonderful creative ideas to the project. Tina is such a warm person with such enthusiasm & love for what she does, definitely fun to work with and highly recommend. **★★★★★ — dacn51, Dec. 2016** > Tina helped me with a project recovering some aging dining room chairs. Prior to beginning the project, Tina came to my home to get a sense of my taste, style and colors in the room. Subsequent to that visit she brought several fabric samples to my home for me to consider. It was very helpful to see the samples in my dining room so I could gauge the colors in the light of the room. She did a wonderful job of merging my taste and colors that complimented the room. Tina also accompanied me to the fabric warehouse to assist with ordering the fabrics. She coordinated all of the details with an upholsterer including the bid process, pick-up and delivery of the chairs once they were completed. She even came to my home to inspect the finished product and make sure everything was perfect. She is a true professional and I enjoyed working with her. I would definitely recommend Tina for any project, large or small. **★★★★★ — Mary P, Nov. 2016** > I have worked with interior designers before, but never have I had the pleasure to work with someone like Tina! She worked with us for 9 months on a remodel of our bedroom, bathroom and closet and I can honestly say that I do not know what I would have done without her. In fact, I wouldn't have done the remodel at all it if I hadn't found Tina. I am so pleased with the outcome that I never want to leave my new bedroom! She is also now assisting us with a complete remodel of a 1,400 square foot condo, our second home. She is easy to work with, she is prompt, she does what she says she is going to do and very fair in her pricing. She also has great taste and style and finds just the right things at the right price. You will be very pleased, as I am, with Tina and her team. **Comment from Tina Mellino- ZIA INTERIORS:** > Dear 'Model Clients' you are wonderful to collaborate with and I appreciate the trust and artistic license you grant me and my boutique team to deliver your design dream! > Whether selecting flooring, fixtures or paint you are decisive yet, patient to allow for the design details that really makes a bath, bedroom or closet design unique. > I am grateful for your confidence & friendship! > Tina **★★★★★ — anfeder, Nov. 2016** > Tina is terrific to work with. She was responsive, very timely and had excellent suggestions. I did not agree with every suggestion but the process brought us to a great result. I just had housewarming party and got great comments on every detail. Thanks Tina!! **Comment from Tina Mellino- ZIA INTERIORS:** > After all, it is your home! And I want you to love what is in it! > Superior Comfort & Lasting Style~ **★★★★★ — kaymcduck, March 2016** > Tina helped me transform my back patio by moving some furniture and recovering pillows. > She has such a great eye for design, and is respectful of budget. Can't wait to get started on my whole house with Tina:) **★★★★★ — Susan Ayersman, Dec. 2015** > Tina basically performed a miracle in my home. I had a difficult project that required a tight timeline and specific budget for each room. She pulled this off but also with incredible style and design. She is the most talented and creative person I have ever met. She completely exceeded my expectations. She transformed my empty house into an absolutely beautiful home! Additionally, she made what could have been difficult and challenging work into an enjoyable experience. She is wonderful to work with! She is a pro an dI would highly recommend her to anyone! > I would like to update this review. > I chose Tina for another project July 2017 and WOW!! She did it again. I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with her work. This project for our family's cabin up north was a completely different style. She is so diverse in her ability to create a design perfect for what you need. I love also the way she is sensitive to what your likes are, and keeps you involved to make sure you are happy with everything. I was also completely amazed at her ability to turn something around so quickly. She completed this within ore 3 week timeline, start to finish; and did it with so much creativity. It turned out much better than I ever imagined for the country/cozy look and feel that we were looking for. She completely exceeded my expectations, yet again! I have no hesitation to recommend her for any project. She's an award winning artist and is also great at keeping costs within the budget. A true gem! **★★★★★ — mysharonna, Dec. 2015** > We chose Tina after evaluating several designers based on their stated style, flexibility and willingness to accommodate our ideas and budget into their vision. If Tina had a preconceived design template in mind it was never apparent because she is an exemplarily listener with a distinct ability to keep a project on track and within budget. We worked with Tina from planning through implementing the complete remodel of our West Valley home. Beginning with the initial design collaboration, Tina was our lantern and guide into and out of the ‘dark woods’ of contractor, vendor and material choices through final paint color options. We now have a home with a classic design with a modern edge that will remain stylistically relevant, comfortable and functional for many years. A particularly important reason we hired a designer was to save money because with a skilled eye, a designer with Tina’s particular set of skills saves time and money by keeping the home owner from getting too creative leaving a disjointed, pieced together appearance. Tina gave us a put-together look without appearing over-designed and narrowly stylized which achieves the owner’s goal and maintains resale-ability. Tina accomplished that for us and will capably do the same for you. We recommend her without reservation **★★★★★ — marcosmarmelejo, Dec. 2015** > Redesigned a foyer/small garden by the basement elevators. Had it painted, added plants, trees, flowers, rocks and made it beautiful! It really changed our view. **★★★★★ — annagapo, Aug. 2015** > Tina is the ultimate professional. She has the innate ability to take a seemingly impossible task and transform it in ways one would never have dreamed of! You just have to see her work ( especially the "before" and "after" pictures) to believe it. ## Selected projects - [Aaaahhh Spaaahhh Principal Bedroom & Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/aaaahhh-spaaahhh-principal-bedroom-and-bath-pj-vj~6436298) - Location: Scottsdale, AZ - Photos: 10 - Description: Located in the heart of North-Scottsdale surrounded by majestic skies and mountains this resort like bedroom and bath-brings rivals the best of resorts and feels like an in-home First class Spa Get-A-Way! - [Encue for 2!](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/encue-for-2-pj-vj~5950047) - Location: Phoenix, AZ - Photos: 10 - Description: Easy living that blends modern style and comfort. - [ENCANTAME TOWERS 2-Bedroom Model](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/encantame-towers-2-bedroom-model-pj-vj~5790288) - Location: Puerto Peñasco, Sonora - Photos: 25 - Description: Located in quaint Puerto Penasco, Mexico, Encantame Towers Resort is a luxury, high-rise condominium development located on Playa Encanto beach.
