Studio M was a pleasure to work with! The staff was passionate about ensuring our design objectives were fully met. I cannot say enough about the entire team, their attention to detail and the end result of our project. Studio M exceeded our expectations. Their work has garnered tremendously positive feedback and has served as a template for future projects moving forward. In a world where time is money and with so many firms over promising and under delivering, it was refreshing to feel valued and have the end result be something that far exceeded what we had hoped and with such attention to detail

One of the best design firms I have ever worked with. Studio M handled all of the interior design for our new construction home and our family couldnt be more happyMichelle and her team not only true professionals but the BEST I have ever worked with. In fact, we hired two other firms before a friend suggested we call Studio M.

I originally met the team from Studio M through design excursions to Brizo's Fashion Week in NYC and to the GE Monogram Experience in Kentucky. I have since followed their work through outlets like Houzz and Facebook, as well as via their highly-stylized talkDesign newsletter. I continually marvel at their consistent ability to create beautifully elegant spaces. Prominent bloggers too, Studio M's Eric Miller has both shared his expertise on our blog, but was also gracious enough to recently host a 3 part series I had written. As a writer, editor, social media go to, I'd recommend snatching up any

My wife and I have needed to re-do our master bedroom for...since we bought the house. We were never the type of couple to think we needed an interior designer. After six years of getting around to it, we met Jade from Studio M. We loved the work they have on their website. We told them we just want to feel like we are away at a nice hotel when we walk in. They nailed it. That is exactly what we have now. They brought in design features that we never would have considered on our own (and that I had some concerns about on paper) and made a retreat that is better than any of the hotels we look forward

I learned of Studio M when I was invited by an renowned and popular interior designer to attend Studio M's 20th Anniversary celebration, which was held in conjunction with the completion of the studio's work on a very large Davis Isle estate. I couldn't believe my eyes at the sight of such a well orchestrated plan with every detail of interior home design completed to perfection. The mansion was packed with movers and shakers, and the catering was phenomenal. Over the next week or two, we did some background checking and learned that Studio M has an excellent reputation with their customers, suppliers
