Q&A with Michelle:

1. How do you determine the right style for your customers? 

I ask lots of questions. I also want to see pictures of their dream room or spaces they love. This is a great way to see exactly what they like; a picture is worth a thousand words.

2. What are your tips for customers looking for a new furniture piece? 

Have a plan; furniture is an investment. Make sure the pieces you purchase are timeless anchor pieces. Buy the best quantity that fits your budget and offers you the comfort you need.

3. Which piece of design advice do you always emphasize?  

Determine your space’s primary function; this means it is essential to plan for the people and purpose before you even think about colour schemes, fabrics, and accessories. While these things are fun and exciting to put together, without understanding how the room will be used, there is no way to choose the right accents. Allowing form to follow the function results in a perfect room design.

4. Where do you go to find inspiration? 

I love looking through designer magazines to get inspiration. I also google images all the time.
