1088: Power Talk Friday: Design Trade Service / Melanie Rosenburg: The One Skill That Sets Exceptional Interior Designers Apart

Today With Melanie Rosenburg: Welcome to A Well-Designed Business. What does it mean to create a truly luxury experience? You’re not just creating something nice to look at. You’re creating the space that they are going to live in, foreseeably for a long time. And you’re bringing an expertise and a vision into the picture that they can’t do for themselves. But today we’re going a level deeper into what that luxury service really entails. A luxury experience for your client is about all of those things, absolutely. But there’s something that takes it to the next level: being able to hear what a client really wants and needs, even when they don’t know how to articulate what that is. My guest today, Melanie Rosenburg, is here to share how she creates one-of-a-kind, truly authentic projects that form that true luxury experience. LuAnn Nigara and Melanie Rosenburg’s Ah-Ha Moments: "I stopped asking my clients what their budget was, and I stopped asking my clients what their style is...I always ask them, how do you want the specific space or home to feel when you walk in." - Melanie Rosenburg "Interior design, custom window treatments, it's luxury, period. Whether it's entry-level luxury or it's I'm flying on a jet plane to Paris to pick my furniture luxury. It's luxury." - LuAnn More About Melanie Rosenburg Introducing Melanie Rosenburg, the creative mind behind MASH Habitat Interiors, where the art of interior design is transformed into a personalized journey of style and functionality.
