Meet Melanie Serra

Melanie Serra Atlanta, GA - Certified Redesign and Staging Instructor

One of the early pioneers of interior redesign, award-winning Melanie Serra has been reviving interiors for over 17 years and has worked with clients in Dallas, Philadelphia and Atlanta. Melanie Serra’s approach to interior design is fresh and innovative — transforming residential interiors from Now to WOW, by rearranging existing furniture and accessories.

Melanie Serra, owner of Atlanta based Interior Revivals, Inc., offers professional interior decorating, redesign, staging, color and window treatment consultations and model home design services.

“There’s been HUGE interest lately in redesign, staging and color,” says Melanie “-- especially in this economy. My clients love that I can dramatically transform their living spaces in just one day. I’ve made believers out of people who had their house on the market for 6 months. We staged it and they got a contract within 24 hours. It doesn’t get much better than that — knowing we’ve made such a huge positive impact in people’s lives!”

Melanie’s passion includes sharing her knowledge with others through specialized classes. She is the founding president of The Home Stager’s Guild, The Interior Redesigner’s Guild, and The Color Consultant’s Guild. These “Guilds” not only provide certified training, but regular networking events and support with fellow graduates. “HSG and IRG alumni find tremendous value in our meetings, it keeps them motivated in their own business, provides great tips and insights and helps them achieve both their personal and professional goals.”

Her students include those who are looking for a new full or part time career that is creative, fulfilling and generates income. Others who attend Melanie’s classes are realtors, interior designers, professional organizers, property managers and business owners who are looking for additional streams of revenue and added services for their clients. Some students are simply passionate about decorating and want to make a dynamic difference in their own homes and those of friends and relatives.

Melanie’s prior experience of corporate sales, marketing and training has equipped her exceptionally well to teach her students the powerful benefits of using interior rearranging techniques to establish and grow a successful business. The HSG and IRG Guild offers classes in Interior Redesign and Home Staging in Atlanta. Her courses are geared for the creative individual with a desire to have a business of his/her own. The courses cover the elements and fundamentals of design, hands-on practical experience, professional design tips and must-know principles of starting your own business.

“My students learn how to tap their intrinsic creativity and earn an income doing what they love. They receive knowledge and are given the tools to successfully market, promote and grow their business,” says Melanie. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and take full advantage of Melanie Serra’s vast industry experience and knowledge.
