Projects so far include replacement of lighting fixtures in our family and sitting rooms as well as our kitchen. The choices she presented were beautiful and striking. Anyone who visits our home immediately notices and comments on the new fixtures asking where we found them. We could never have selected/located these fixtures on our own. > Melissa has also updated/upgraded our family room. What was before perfectly serviceable is now gorgeous. Each piece of furniture perfectly complements the other. The couches and chairs have details and quality not found in furniture at Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, and the like. The specially designed throw pillows are gorgeous. The new coffee table and rug pull it all together. > When Melissa first visited our home, she made suggestions that we were immediately able to implement like flipping rugs from one room to another; placing the rugs a certain way; and placing the existing furniture in a better position to balance the room. She selected a new rug for our dining room that makes the room. > Melissa is wonderful to work with. She takes care of all of the details and was at our home to supervise when the furniture and rug were delivered. We very much enjoy working with her and plan to continue to work with her on updating our kitchen and other rooms in the house. She is obviously a very experienced designer who loves fabrics, textures, and colors, is detail-oriented, and runs a well-managed business. I am so thankful I selected her as our designer. **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > Thank you so much Alison! I have so enjoyed working with both you and Jerry and look forward to our future projects together! ### All 38 reviews **★★★★★ — Kristin Dubinski, Dec. 2022** > We highly recommend Melissa. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and always showed up with a smile on her face. She made things as easy as possible for us (being there for deliveries while we were at work, getting pictures framed and hanging them etc) and was always quick to respond when we had questions. We love the finished product! Our home is bright and modern but still feels very homey and comfortable. Thank you Melissa! **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > Thank you Kristin! It was such a pleasure to help you and Joe…again!! We so appreciate the trust you’ve placed with us to update and furnish your home! **★★★★★ — Chris Hamilton, Dec. 2022** > Melissa helped us with a whole-home renovation. Having worked with other designers before, we felt that Melissa was the best we had ever worked with. Not only was her design skill very deep, she also knew the nuts and bolts of the trades and even made some architectural improvements to our plan! She was able to channel our taste and bring incredible resources to us, from fabrics to lighting, furniture and hardscape materials. She was easy to work with, and developed creative solutions when there were issues with some of the suppliers due to COVID and the supply chain crisis. Her wholistic approach went beyond the finishes to help us create the overall space and feel we had dreamed of. We would recommend her to anybody who wants to create a sophisticated, beautiful home. **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > Thank you so much for your kind words. It was such a pleasure to work with you and Joanne! Thank you for the opportunity! **★★★★★ — Maureen Reightler, Jan. 2022** > We’ve been working with Melissa for over two years now in challenging conditions. Every aspect of trying to build a new place and then make it into a home has just been hard. But her professionalism has made sure everything will work in a space, in ways that fit us well, and her personal warmth has been reflected in her attention to how we’d like to feel in our home. It hasn’t been easy but without her it would have been almost impossible. **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > Thank you for your kind words. It's been such a pleasure working with both you and Ken and getting to know you. It has been a challenging couple of years. Your project has been a very good collaboration and I look forward to seeing all our hard work featured in Annapolis Home Magazine this spring. **★★★★★ — bergstrom1, Dec. 2021** > Melisa has transformed our home. Redecorating and even redesigning our office, mud room, living room, portico, and family room. She can think creatively about use of space, works to find a design style appealing to your preferences, pays attention to detail, is easy to communicate with, and works till the last part of the job is perfect. > > Simply put, she creates spaces to live in that make you happy. > > (Here’s a before and after of FMRM). **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > It’s been such a pleasure to work with you both on your projects! Thank you for your continued business and support! **★★★★★ — Kathy Shearer, Dec. 2021** > Melissa was so helpful as we downsized from a large single family home to our new townhouse. > We were able to use some of our old pieces, mixing in with new. We love everything she helped us choose. Our home has a lovely look, calming neutrals with some pops of color on pillows. > I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her design company! > She was easy to work with! **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > Thank you for your kind words. Those bar stools look awesome…hopefully worth the wait! I wish you much happiness in your new home! **★★★★★ — bernie\_snoops, Dec. 2020** > This is the second time we have worked with Melissa and are extremely happy with the results. We were looking to update our first floor which included window treatments, reupholstering furniture, new hardwood floors and staircase. Melissa suggested we change our wall colors and it created a dramatic new look. She was creative, thoughtful and fun to work with on both projects. We look forward to working with her in the future. **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > Thank you Bernie! It's been great working with you over the last few years! **★★★★★ — fcicero, Dec. 2020** > My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Melissa on our new construction home in Annapolis, MD. Melissa helped us every step of the way, from initial design ideas, all the way to final placement of décor. She was always organized, detailed, and kept the process moving, even when it came to communicating directly with our builder. I cannot say enough good things about Melissa. Though we finished our home in November 2018, we continue to value her opinion immensely and still look to her for guidance. Melissa really did help us turn our new house into our dream home. **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! I have so enjoyed the relationship we've built and continue to have while working on current and future projects together! **★★★★★ — Karen Hardart, Dec. 2020** > Melissa is fantastic! We could not be happier with how our home looks. Melissa was so easy to work with. She has incredible style and came up with some great design changes for our first floor. She connected me with top notch craftsmen who helped with our flooring and kitchen renovations. She is so talented when it comes to colors and putting the finishing touches on a project. > She deserves every one of the five stars! **★★★★★ — sfarrell90, Dec. 2020** > We have had the pleasure of working with Melissa on multiple projects in our home, and would highly recommend her. She has a true talent for taking your ideas about how you want to feel and live in your space, and making that a truly spectacular, turn key, finished product. She is creative, organized, and detail oriented, but more than that she is just a lovely person to work with. We have two projects going at the moment, and I know it won't be our last! **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > Thank you! It's been such a pleasure to work with you too! I love the way we collaborate. Looking forward to seeing everything come together for you and your family! **★★★★★ — suzanne g, Nov. 2020** > Melissa is the best! We had an exceptional experience working with Melissa. Her interior design services were creative, intuitive and beautiful. She was mindful of our budget and met every deadline. She listened to what we had in mind and offered many options to help us fulfill our vision for our home. We highly recommend Melissa and are thrilled with the results. **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > Thank you! It’s been such a pleasure to help you with your home! **★★★★★ — Heather Herman, July 2019** > We hired Melissa to renovate a guest bathroom and complete our family room. Melissa was a pleasure to work with and very professional. We have 3 kids and a dog and wanted something stylish but functional. The bathroom is beautiful and unique. The family room pulled the rest of the house together perfectly. We feel that Melissa understood our style and needs from the beginning. I would highly recommend her. **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > Thank you for your recommendation! I loved working with you! **★★★★★ — Matt Schmit, Sept. 2017** > We remodeled a kitchen and powder room and redecorated the entire first floor of our house. Me and my wife work full-time and so there was no way we had time to go through all the choices for paint colors, tile, furniture...etc.. Melissa did some simple exercises with us to get a sense of what style we would like, and then she narrowed down the selections for paint and fabrics. I think she definitely captured what we were looking for. It looks fantastic! She has very good taste. **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > It was such to pleasure to work with the both of you! Thank you for your recommendation. Enjoy your newly designed home! I added couple more photos that I like. **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Rzepkowski, Dec. 2016** > We were thrilled with Melissa Mclay Interiors! She worked with us on a space plan for the rooms in our home, and completely decorated and furnished it mixing our current furniture with many new pieces. Melissa had incredible attention to detail and moved the process along in a timely manner. She not only produced our vision for the house, but also exceeded our expectations. **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > It is so much fun to work with you!. You have wonderful style and it's been such a pleasure to design your new home. I look forward to working with you in the future. **★★★★★ — Helen K, Dec. 2016** > Melissa has excellent taste and is fun to work with. She is also very organized and responsive. I needed curtains and blinds in some rooms, and rugs in other rooms, and she was very helpful in coordinating with furniture already in place. **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > Thank you Helen! I was fun working with you too! Your home is stunning and such a pleasure to decorate. **★★★★★ — Melissa Condon, Dec. 2016** > This is our second time working with Melissa McLay Interiors. This time around , Melissa helped us pick out new furniture, fabrics and window treatments for the lower level of our house. We were in the middle of a kitchen renovation and we wanted the living room and a sitting room off of the kitchen to be updated so that everything flowed and came together. Melissa was able to put together great furniture and fabrics that fit our lifestyle given we have children and pets. The end results are just beautiful and we are so happy!!! **★★★★★ — Sarah H, March 2016** > Melissa is designing renovation of craft room and basement of our home. I cannot recommend her more highly. Her designs are beautiful and innovative. She is organized, thoughtful and experienced. **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > Thank you Sarah! I've enjoyed working with Dave and yourself and very excited to see the final result soon! **★★★★★ — lizzycrow, Oct. 2015** > Melissa spent countless hours helping me track down Country French fabrics for window treatments throughout the main floor of my home. I believe we looked at every sample in the entire Washington Design Center! I couldn't be more thrilled with the fabrics we selected and with the window treatments themselves. Melissa was lovely to work with, she's the perfect balance of personable and efficient. I look forward to working with her again. **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > Thank you so much for your kind review Liz! You were lovely to work with also and I look forward to working with you again too. **★★★★★ — mniefeld, Oct. 2015** > Working with Melissa McLay Interiors was such a pleasure that if I could give a higher rating than 5 stars I would. Melissa listened to me carefully, looked around my home to determine my style, determined a carefully laid out plan to execute the project, and found just the right items to make my home beautiful, cozy, and creative all at the same time. Plus, she is a delight to work with -- always sweet, funny, on-time, and amazingly organized for a creative-type. I highly, highly recommend Melissa McLay for any project that you are considering! **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > Thank you for such a sweet review!! You are also a pleasure to work with too. Thank you! **★★★★★ — avscindy, Oct. 2015** > Working with Melissa is a dream. She helped us to totally redesign our guest and master bathrooms. She is talented, prompt, flexible and professional. **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > Thank you Cindy! I really enjoyed working you and your husband too. **★★★★★ — kaamatonewbern, Oct. 2015** > When looking for a designer to help me customize my new home, I was fortunate to find Melissa McLay Interiors on Houzz.com. Melissa was excellent incorporating my existing furniture while choosing new fabrics for window treatments, suggesting paint colors/wallpaper and adding new light fixtures. She did a fabulous job designing a fireplace with bookcases for our new sports bar and guiding me with the purchase of new furniture for this area. During this entire process, I was living in another state. Melissa managed my entire project to perfection. Everything was finished on time and was a completely stress free experience. I would highly recommend Melissa McLay Interiors and will definitely use her services again. **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > Thank you so much for your kind review! You are such a pleasure to work with! **★★★★★ — elvis1p, Feb. 2015** > I highly recommend Melissa. I hired her to help with me with colors, finishes (including counter-tops), fixtures and soft furnishings for a major kitchen remodel. I thought I was pretty savvy on the design front, but when faced with the project myself, I got overwhelmed with choices. I found Melissa to have an uncanny ability to uncover the look I wanted even though I struggled to articulate it. Her taste is impeccable and she has a wealth of resources at her fingertips. She was sensitive to my budget and worked within its constraints. In addition, her attention to small design details really put the finishing touches on my kitchen. In short, she's a true design professional. I would not hesitate to hire her again for another project. **★★★★★ — kiwijam, Dec. 2014** > Master bathroom was gutted and completely redone. Melissa drew up plans, oversaw the work, and researched all the elements and helped me decide on all aspects - floor tile, bathroom fixtures, paint color, light fittings, wall art etc. > Melissa was extremely helpful and listened to our views and our tastes, and came up with a gorgeous bathroom for us. > We love our new bathroom and have had many compliments on it. > > We would definitely like to use Melissa McLay Interiors again in the future. **★★★★★ — sartorius17, Oct. 2014** > We hired Melissa to help us with the interior decorating of our home, including: (1) living room decorations/accessories/light fixtures/paint; (2) dining room window treatments/light fixtures/molding; (3) bedroom window treatments/rug/accessories; and (4) entranceway molding/stairrunner/paint. Melissa was extremely professional - on time, responsive, and well prepared. We especially appreciated how hands on she was throughout the entire process. Though she might be located in Maryland, and we are in Virginia, you would not know it from the number of times she came to visit and ensure everything was being installed correctly and that we were happy. We will definitely be using Melissa for future projects. **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > It was a such a pleasure to help you and your family! I look forward to working with you again soon. **★★★★★ — TailorCraft Builders, Inc., Oct. 2014** > I can't say enough great things about Melissa! I was working with a client doing an whole home remodel, and we were simply stuck with respect to creating that special finish feel for the project. I called Melissa to see if she could help, and she happily came to our rescue. She really listened to my client, was able to go through the project area by area, room by room, and made amazing design suggestions for us that really made the final product simply "pop"! It was absolutely amazing to see how she pulled everything together from colors to trim to accessories and gave my clients exactly the look and feel they were looking for! Melissa, I can't thank you enough for making my job so easy, making me look so good, and most of all for making my clients so happy!

I have worked with several designers over the years, and Melissa is by far the best. I hired Melissa to assist me with the design and selection of tile, cabinets and fixtures for a bathroom remodel.

My bathroom is beautiful and it receives many compliments. I will definitely use her again. I highly recommend her for your project. **Comment from Melissa McLay Interiors:** > You are so nice!

This was a total renovation, not just adding some decorative touches, so I needed someone who could do everything from design to helping with a contractor to choosing all of the materials and finishes. > > From the first sketches to domolition to finished product, she guided the process in a way that gave me total confidence. Her vendor relationships are excellent and she was able to give me a custom look while staying on schedule and within budget. **★★★★★ — cyndost, June 2013** > I think i must be one of the few people who can say that they had the pleasure of having their master bathroom/bedroom completely remodeled. Melissa McLay, of Melissa McLay Interiors is the reason. The small size of the bathroom made it an especially challenging project, but Melissa's breadth of knowledge, her innate design sense, her ability to work within a budget and a time frame, her patience and her gift of listening to her client guaranteed success. Melissa's organizational and communication skills eased the project along seamlessly. Literally, she took a Motel 6 bedroom and bathroom and transformed it into a Four Seasons suite. Now I want her to do the whole house! Cynthia Doster, Annapolis, Maryland **★★★★★ — palgreg12, May 2012** > Melissa McLay is a thoughtful, resourceful, and creative professional. She designed our kitchen renovation, solving many problems along the way, and presenting wonderful choices for the aesthetic elements as well as the practical parts of the kitchen. This was my first remodeling project and I needed a lot of patient hand-holding and clear-thinking. Melissa provided both. I was cost-conscious all the way and Melissa was completely respectful of that. Everything she promised was delivered on time. We are thrilled with the gorgeous and functional kitchen that Melissa produced. **★★★★★ — walkerkaw, April 2012** > I am so pleased with the work of Melissa Mclay Interiors. I moved to a house that had a different look and feel from my last one so we had to start virtually from scratch with furnishings. She elevated the look to a wow when people walk in. She is very easy to work with and really listens to her clients needs and wants. Her knowledge of the industry is vast. She has just about completed the inside of my house and I look forward to working with her for the back patio furnishings. **★★★★★ — kengman, April 2012** > Melissa has great taste and she is wonderful to work with! I worked with her on a bathroom project. She helped me move from a scatter of ideas to a clear and crisp plan for my bathroom project! Phew! She made my life so much easier. Thank you! **★★★★★ — kerrimcl1, April 2012** > Melissa is wonderful! She has helped me with all of my bedroom drapery in addition to my master-bath.
