About Us
Who I Am
Hi, I’m Melanie Rose.
I’ve lived all over the world, and I’ve called a lot of very different places home. I’ve worked on farms from Switzerland to Australia and lived in apartments from Zurich to the Dominican Republic. I’ve lived in everything from a tiny studio to a big farmhouse. Each one taught me something: good design isn’t about square footage. It’s about how a space makes you feel and how easily it fits into your life.
My real passion for design grew from years of working in interior design alongside one of North America’s well-known interior designers. I saw how thoughtful choices like scale, color, light and the right piece in the right spot can completely change a room. I also saw that the most beautiful homes are the ones that work for real people, every day.
That’s what Sugar Berry is about. Busy lives need homes that are easy to live in and easy to care for. That doesn’t mean giving up beauty or personality. I believe a small, practical home can still be bold, colorful and completely yours.
I started Sugar Berry because I want to share the ideas, knowledge and inspiration I’ve gathered along the way, all with one goal: to make your home more beautiful and your life a little easier.

And it holds up — durable, easy to clean, and built to last, following a “fewer, better things” philosophy.
