THE BEGINNING OF NOWTHEN STUDIOSâ„
Melody had seen dozens of beautiful homes but felt many lacked the functional aspects people needed to truly flourish. Your home environment impacts you mentally and physically; because of this, we believe your house can make or break your personal growth, relationships, and dedication to the things you love. Melody began Nowthen Studiosâ„ in April 2022 with the goal of improving people’s lives through interior design custom-curated to their interests, personality, and lifestyle.
My primary objective with Nowthen Studiosâ„ was to eliminate the limitations a person’s home may have on them by designing new spaces that allow them to grow into their true self, cultivate the community they love, and encourage them to pursue their passions. Having lived in 15 houses across 7 states, I’ve personally experienced the need for a fun, functional home that brings you joy, no matter your lifestyle.
OUR DESIGN APPROACH: LIFESTYLE INFORMED DESIGNâ„
When your home’s design falls short of supporting your daily life and lacks the style you desire, and the options for fixing it are buried in an endless stream of “interior design inspo”, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed and held back from living your best life. I created Lifestyle Informed Designâ„ , the process we use at Nowthen Studiosâ„ to tailor your home’s functionality to your needs and create an aesthetic that reflects who you are, so that you can have a home that welcomes you home, a space for flourishing and joy.
Our team uses our skillset and this design method to guide you through the process of creating spaces that give you back agency over your life and home. Our customer-focused, customized approach to every project results in our ability to design, price, and create a process that is achievable for you.

MEET THE DESIGN TEAM
MELODY WUNROW | CEO, INTERIOR DESIGNER
Hello! I’m Melody Wunrow, founder and interior designer at Nowthen Studiosâ„ . I have been obsessed with houses for as long as I can remember. I built them out of LEGOs and cardboard boxes. Eventually, I moved on to decorating my parents’ shed, aka my playhouse. But regardless of what I built them out of, my motivation was always the people that lived in them.
As I got older, my passion drove me to learn how to decorate, organize, and redesign every room in the house. Everywhere I went, I wanted to help people by creating beautiful environments where they could experience community and joy.
I wanted each space to feel effortless to live in so they could spend every second enjoying life to the fullest. The biggest influence on my design was awe-inspiring travel destinations–I wanted to bring those feelings of wonder and delight into people's lives through the designs I crafted for their homes.
LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT MELODY
-
I have two welding certificates.
-
I have lived or traveled to/through 37 of the 48 states.
-
I’m a hopeless romantic and enjoy experiencing other cultures and destinations – I'd love to visit France & Greece!
-
My great-grandfather emigrated from Greece, so I love to use blue & white in my home as a nod to my heritage.
-
Days off are for enjoying my favorite spaces with my loved ones: you’ll find me sitting in my chair (with Jonathan and Daisy close at hand), drinking tea, and reading AD magazine while a vinyl record plays jazz.
