As Principal Designer and Founder of Melissa Schmitt Interiors, Melissa is the guiding force behind the firm’s style ethos. She and her team offer full service interior design, assisting home and business owners with everything from ground up projects to selection of interior finishes and furniture. She is a gifted interior consultant who helps clients save time, enhance their space, communicate with contractors, and navigate design challenges.

Melissa began her career in 2005 after helping to establish Schmitt + Company, a local builder specializing in luxury residential and winery properties. Her passion and aptitude for interiors became apparent after she designed her own home; she was quickly hired by friends and Schmitt + Company clients to transform their properties. Melissa has since emerged as a foremost design-build expert in the area, specializing in space planning and custom interior finishes.

She relishes her role as a problem solver.

“I love coming up with design solutions that are equal parts functional and beautiful. That’s thrilling to me,” Melissa says. “My number one passion is making the world a more joyful place through my designs.”

Boasting the most stunning valley views imaginable, our clients were thrilled to get ahold of this breathtaking Calistoga property but felt the Spanish-style residence wasn’t in keeping with the surrounding natural beauty. Working in partnership with Schmitt + Company, we embarked on a design build renovation to reimagine the estate from the inside out.
