We had the good fortune to meet Star and subsequently engage her services to renovate our master bathroom, kitchen, fireplace and flooring. She possesses all of the qualities that we were looking for in an interior designer; positivity, flexibility, patience, reliability, creativity, integrity, experience and attention to details. We valued her frank opinion when discussing our vision and appreciated the viable options that she would present to assist us in our decision making. When our ideas would stray from our vision Star would provide guidance to get us back "on track". We enjoyed the Star Michaels experience and will not hesitate to request her services again for our future projects! She is truly a professional and her big, warm and cheerful smile brightens our day :-) read more

Star has a great eye! She worked with us from afar during COVID on a house we hadn't even seen in person yet. We were very happy with how everything turned out! Highly recommend read more

We loved working with Star! She is a true professional, gave us terrific design guidance and insight, and brought our whole house up a few notches. She made what seemed like an overwhelming task very manageable and accommodated our timeline. She sources great craftspeople and is realistic about budget. But the best part is that she is fun and hilarious and has an arsenal of fabulous adjectives! read more

I came upon Star Michael Interior Design by way of referral and initially hired her to design our guesthouse which had become a storage unit over the years. Star transformed the space into a live-in guest suite and home office. It looked incredible! She impressed us with her space planning, use of color, and organized execution of the project as a whole. She communicates clearly, has impeccable integrity, and holds herself and her vendors to the highest standard of quality. She also replied to my many calls and emails very quickly which I really appreciated. And when it came to selecting light fixtures, tile and other items, she provided options at different price points so I could spend money on things that mattered to me and less on less important things. Since the guesthouse renovation I've also hired her to design my main home and a rental property. Star not only created value in my investments but she envisioned and built a space for us to be comfortable, safe and surrounded by beauty. I highly recommend her! read more

Took my house and thoughtfully curated every space. During our design meeting, Star made me feel like she completely got me. Every piece she used was better than I could've imagined and left me with a home I was proud of. Now I won't buy anything for any space without her approval. read more

Every single person that walks in compliments our decor. Star made our home feel beautiful, calming, organized and unique. We are beyond grateful for our perfect space, but even more so when COVID hit and we started working from home. She also worked with us to design within our budget, which was no easy task. She found great deals and items I never would have thought of myself. I would recommend Star to anyone and everyone! read more

Star truly is what her name is...a Star. I was introduced to Star in the most random way, and I am forever grateful she helped and guided me in upgrading the exterior of my house. I wanted something new and different, bold and risky. Star listened to my thoughts and came up with a game plan to totally transform my house from drab to fab. After our first meeting, I knew Star was the perfect person to help me. She presented me with different ideas and suggestions and was patient with my doubts and decision making. When Star brought in a different color palate to my already thought-out color scheme, I trusted her and went with it (and it looks great!). She helped me with all of the needed touches from new locks, bolts, door handles and lighting to stunning pots outside my house. Ever the perfectionist, Star even helped me with new window shades so the windows visible to the street matched the new look of my house. Star is meticulous in her work and truly thought of everything. Star was by my side every step of the way, checked in almost daily and made sure everything was going on schedule. She was respectful to my budget and presented so many great and creative ideas. Her vendors (painter and electrician) were kind, trustworthy and always put 100% into their quality of work. The end result of my house is amazing. Friends and family can't believe the before and after and my neighbors are always stopping by telling me how great it looks. I thank my luck Star(s) for her help, and can't wait to work with Star again on my next home project. read more

Star I have had the pleasure of working with Star for many projects now including a complete kitchen, bathroom and guest suite remodel. She is immensely talented at visualizing a clients vision and taking it to the next level by adding her own exquisite, creative flair. Beyond beautiful aesthetics, Star always has thoughtful and practical insights on product and material choices. I greatly appreciated Star's meticulous planning and unparalleled organizational skills which meant that time was used efficiently and work completed as quickly as possible for minimum disruption. I couldn't have been happier working with Star, she makes the whole process fun and the end results are stunning. I can't wait to start on my next project with her! read more

We absolutely LOVED working with Star on several projects to update our home. She was so thorough in capturing and maximizing our spaces, creating several options for overall room design, sourcing samples of rugs, paint swatches, local vendors for reupholstering, window treatments, gallery wall hangers, electricians, etc. There was no space she couldn't help to beautify and make more purposeful. I highly, highly recommend her for any project! She was able to help me with all of our designs remotely - from LA to NYC! She is amazing!!! read more

Star Michael is EXCELLENT at what she does! She has worked with us for about 7 years now and she truly feels like part of the family. In addition to her phenomenal artistry, which speaks for itself in her pictures, she is a treasure trove of knowledge and expertise. No question or challenge stumps her. She is a perfectionist and that translates to everything about her work. It truly feels like a white glove experience while also being completely down to earth. She works with our budget on each project. Even the "we only want to spend the bare minimum on this" projects look stunning and somehow way more expensive than what we paid. Every Star Michael project in our home makes me happier to spend time at home. read more

I love Star! She has such a keen eye. Star has been " a part" of my house and home for over 10 years. Star was referred by a neighbor when we wanted to figure out the layout and furnishings for our new family room. She worked with me on paint color , buying a new sofa ( very reasonable), a rug, and other accessories to make the room so comfortable. She works with any budget!!! She is down to earth, friendly , and so sweet. We have had Star come back several times over the years for window treatments, bedding , painting. She even helped my daughter with her bedroom gallery wall recently. And it looks great! She takes time to listen and cares. In fact, it's time to call her again!!! We love Star! read more

I have worked with Star on several projects and have been overjoyed with the results! Her combination of design talent, organizational acumen and professionalism is a real rarity. She has always worked within my budget and is truly masterful at picking pieces that are affordable yet look expensive. Her recommendations for everything from paint color to flooring to window treatments feel like immediate enhancements to your property value and are worth every penny. On top of all of it, she is personally delightful and a joy to work with. I can't recommend her strongly enough! read more

Highly recommend Star, she is an amazing designer that is both professional and personable. On a newer construction that had a basic Home Depot aesthetic, Star was able to transform the house into a sophisticated environment with a peaceful and calming vibe. A key aspect to her work is always considering the practical while still never neglecting form. Look forward to working with Star on future endeavors. read more

Star is Great!! Not only did she design and decorate our dream condo but when we moved out of state during COVID she arranged and supervised moving our entire home and belongings to our new residence. She went above and beyond for us. We have also recommended Star to friends who all rave about her and continue to use her. read more

Where do I even begin? Star is such a GEM, and I cannot say enough great things about Star Michael Interior Design. I'd been a fan for a while, and after seeing so many of the beautiful homes she designed, I was worried I might have to wait until I bought a house to hire Star. But Star and her team actually worked some true MAGIC and completely changed my rental house. I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to have such a beautiful home now. I always thought I had a good eye for things... but I completely underestimated the value of having a professional designer come in and design my space. Wowwwww. Anyway... if you need a designer... HIRE STAR!!! She will change your life. read more

Star is a very talented designer, knowledgeable and with many great resources. We've worked together for a few years and every project we have done turned out beautifully. We are set to embark on another large project soon--a total remodel of the primary bath in our Austin, Texas home. I'm looking forward to working with her again! read more

Star is simply the best! When my partner and I moved in together, we found that our very bright apartment had a very dark living room -- that's when we called Star! Star not only listened to our wants/needs for the space, but she quickly picked up on our taste, was very intuitive and also very respectful of our budget. Throughout the process, Star would send us both renderings of the proposed new space as well as images of items that she was considering purchasing for the space which made us feel involved in the process. On the day of installation, Star was there to roll up her sleeves and work with a wonderful team to finish our new dining room. Star even helped hang/edit my partner's extensive antique poster collection -- thanks, Star! We absolutely adore it, and our Star-designed dining room is my favorite spot in our new home. Definitely consider Star for your next interior design project! I know I can't wait to work with her again! read more

I've been a follower of Star Michael Interior Design's work for a while, so when my family bought a new home, Star was the first call we made. Given that we had just made a large purchase, we were worried about our budget, and whether that would afford us the ability to furnish and design our house. When we had the initial consult with Star, all our fears were allayed. She listened compassionately to our concerns and designed with an eye towards upscale while staying within our budget. She always presented us several options of everything to choose from, was in constant communication, and had impeccable taste. She made our house look like a million bucks, without spending that much! Not only does she deliver, she makes the entire process painless, taking care of corresponding with every vendor she works with so you don't have to. Over the past several years, we designed our house, one room at a time. Each time, we called Star. And each time, her work exceeded our wildest expectations. read more
