atelier nine
Most spaces are designed to be looked at. We design spaces to be lived in and savored.
Atelier Nine is an interior design studio rooted in the belief that environment is a pillar of wellbeing. We create homes and select hospitality and retail spaces, each shaped around what actually happens inside them: the morning routine, the dinner that runs late, the corner you always end up in.
Design isn’t just visual; it’s emotional, sensory, and deeply human. The spaces we inhabit shape how we move through our days, how we connect, and how we feel within ourselves.
We approach each project with clarity and intention, creating layered, refined interiors that feel cohesive, personal, and entirely aligned with the lives lived within them.
Spaces that change how you show up.

Melanie is the founder of Atelier Nine, a Denver-based interior design studio.
Her background in psychology and health coaching informs every project. She approaches interiors through the lens of human behavior and wellbeing, designing spaces that support how people move through their days and how they want to feel within them.
Before founding Atelier Nine, she built an organizing and space planning business where clients often described experiencing relief, even peace, for the first time in years. That realization shaped her philosophy: design isn’t surface level. It’s transformational.
She works closely alongside general contractors and project managers, ensuring that creative vision and construction execution move seamlessly together. Thoughtful collaboration is essential to delivering spaces that are both beautiful and deeply functional.
Off the clock: espresso by day, martinis by night, vinyl, a table full of good company, dancing, her dog, and getting lost in a gallery somewhere new. The best spaces make room for all of it.
