PRAISE FROM OUR CLIENTS
“Working with Melissa from August Lane was an absolute pleasure. From the initial consultation to the final reveal, their team of designers was professional, attentive, and skilled. They truly listened to our needs and transformed our space into a beautiful and functional living area. We couldn't be happier with the results.”
-Bill & Nancy S.
"Melissa from August Lane Interiors helped me create a space that evokes the cool, peaceful feel I wanted for my primary bathroom. She recognized my tendency to see things in a preconceived manner and showed me alternatives.. From start to finish she provided me with support, ideas, and the wisdom of her experience. Melissa helped me to understand how design elements can complement each other - from texture to color to shape. Working with her means exploring design options and discovering something new and beautiful for the spaces we call home -- with a lot of "ah-ha's" and laughter along the way. Without Melissa's unique ideas and guidance, I would still be in my builder-grade bathroom wondering what to do with the space. I feel like I've made an investment in my house that will pay me back many times over."

"I have worked with several interior design firms in the past, but none have compared to the level of service and quality of work provided by August Lane. They took the time to understand my personal style and preferences, and then created a design that exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their space."

"We hired August Lane to redesign our outdated kitchen and living room, and we were amazed by the transformation. Their designers are true visionaries who have an eye for detail and a knack for creating a cohesive and functional design. We now have a beautiful space that we love spending time in, and we owe it all to them."
