Michael Chambers Design

I am a contractor who has worked with Michael on several projects now. It is always a pleasure working with such a talented designer. He has a gift for bringing his vision to life. Michael has a wonderful personality and is always on time AND on budget. His interaction with the homeowners is very detailed and down to earth. It's always a breath of fresh air when the designer has the capabilities to communicate with not only the homeowners, but with the contractors and subs as well. He has a great knowledge of the building process, which helps out tremendously. I look forward to another project with Michael!

Michael is just amazing. He is a very skilled designer but most importantly he listens and takes his time to make sure you are 100% happy. He is very sweet, funny, respectful, polish and professional.

Michael Chambers is one of the most professional designers I have come into contact with. He has tremendous taste and is very creative and thorough. Michael builds a great relationship with his clients, and he is also very respectful and appreciative of my efforts, time and input. I strongly recommend him for all interior design services.

I am truly delighted with Michael's work and with the results of this major decorating project (a whole house). Literally everyone who comes to our house is full of praise for how wonderful it looks. Michael combined a very strong aesthetic talent, and practical purchasing and sourcing skills, with a visionary ability to understand our personalities and desires. He created rooms with truly unique (and quite varied) looks that show people who we are and how we feel, incorporating great use of color, natural materials, bold shapes and patterns, smart lighting, and modern designs. He consistently came up with clever and innovative ideas for designs that played off existing unique elements of the house, yet went way beyond what the architect ever envisioned. We liked the house when we bought it, but now we LOVE it. Notably, while he brings a strong personal vision to the project, Michael is extremely good at hearing ideas or feedback and making changes, large or small, that incorporate the feedback and get even better. So the house feels like it really expresses who we are, yet also expresses his design skill, creativity, awareness of current styles and products, and aesthetic vision that we could never have provided. In addition, even though not required by our arrangement, Michael worked with some difficult suppliers and contractors to iron out many of the issues that inevitably came up. This enabled us to do the whole project, including a some light construction, without hiring a general contractor to supervise. Also, Michael is a modern professional who communicates well via email and Web, as well as in person and on the phone. Easy to work with. Finally, I must say that while our budget was on the higher side, Michael did much more with our budget than other designers were able to do. He sourced good-value providers of furniture that enabled to splurge on other fit-and-finish items and some custom carpentry, while keeping in mind our total project target price. Other designers wanted to spend more to accomplish much less. In short, Michael is the whole package. We get a truly custom result that lets our personality show through yet looks professional-plus. Extremely pleased with our choice.

Michael Chambers is a BRILLIANT interior designer and an absolute delight to work with. Do yourself - and your home - a favor and hire him! We screened candidates by telling them a great deal about who we are, our values, how we would like to feel in our home and how we would like guests to feel when they visit. The entire house was to be redecorated. Michael listened. His initial recommendations for each room were unexpected and spectacular! Each of the rooms had a unique use and desired mood in our minds. Michael came up with a creative and extraordinary design for each. Many of the other candidates we interviewed wanted to pigeon-hole us based upon the architectural style of our home. Michael uniquely listened and came up with designs that fit us, respected the integrity of the architecture (which was important to us), while making the house even more spectacular - all within budget! His design ideas added an incredible amount of style, comfort and warmth to a very modern house, in unexpected and delightful ways. Because he really listens, in most cases Michael's recommendations for a room nailed the concept, color scheme and mood from the start. In the cases where we came back with uncertainty or feedback, Michael responded with even more spectacularly perfect-for-us ideas! When we disagreed with Michael on something, he had a great "it's about making you happy" attitude and always kindly provided alternatives, based on our feedback. Often we'd give it more thought and come back to Michael's initial recommendation. He's got an eye for design and beauty that is second to none. And his creativity is genius. We loved our house when we bought it. Michael's brilliance and style have helped us to turn the fabulous new house that we loved, but wasn't quite "us," into a true dream home that simultaneously reflects our personalities and both welcomes and wows guests. Michael is kind, hard working, committed, and the most talented designer I've ever met. Do yourself a favor and hire him! You'll be happy you did. We certainly are!

We approached Michael to help us on a comprehensive remodel of a 1100 square 1974 Sail Bay condominium. The unit was a sad mix-up of appliances, fixtures and left-over tenant “improvements” dating back to 1974. We were looking to remodel the unit and list it on the now-improving real estate market. We explained our plan, communicated our fiscal deficiencies, and our unrealistic time plan. He explained to us that “anything” is possible and developed a design plan. Within 7 weeks we had completed gutted, remodeled and staged the unit. During the process, Michael consistently respected our financial limitations, always gave us multiple choices including a “value” (cheap) choice. I never (OK rarely) felt any judgement regarding my frugality. He assured me that all of his choices were always good design choices. We completed the project UNDER our budget and the response has been nothing short of overwhelming We listed the unit. We had an offer within 24 hours and entered escrow four days after that. The sale price represents $100 more per square foot that has been paid for a Bayfront unit to date. Thanks Michael!

Working with Michael Chambers Design was a wonderful experience and the end product exceeded our expectations. Michael is talented, flexible, patient and fun to work with. Michael was able to quickly pin-point our desire for a blend of style and functionality. Michael provided great options for material sourcing, keeping decisions from being too overwhelming while maintaining focus on overall design and budget management. We highly recommend Michael for any design project and will continue to reach out to Michael as we tackle new projects.

Michael is a very talented, passionate and flexible designer and a true fun guy to work with. His creativity, amazing interior finishes, materials and furniture selections as well as his aggressive budget adherence made the remodel of our Bay Scene Penthouse Condo on Sail Bay a pleasure. We strongly recommend Michael for any size project…..not only will you get a fantastic result, you will have a life long design partner for anything you need in the future.

This review concerns my working with Michael Chambers, interior Designer. Michael designed my custom home in Las vegas in 2003. It was a 6000 sq foot custom home design on a golf course with spectacular views of the Las Vegas Strip. Michael worked with the Architect on the entire design and every feature of the home, including the floor plan, exterior, interior design. The home was designed to maximize a long narrow lot and included a spectacular custom designed infinity edge pool, and unobstructed views from multiple rooms. All of the upgraded amenities such as a wine cellar, art walls, and fountains were created by him. His design sense is contemporary, yet comfortable, which is definitely hard to find. He is also quite intelligent and financially astute as well as being creative. HIs energy and personality make him quite enjoyable, and make the difficult process of home building more like entertainment. I would have no reservations in recommending him for any phase in a home design, remodel or interior design. Hire him today, and you will not be sorry.

It was a real pleasure working with Michael Chambers. I was concerned going in whether a designer would be able to understand my ideas for a major facelift of my place, but he was wonderful in listening carefully and integrating his ideas and mine into a beautiful look. I was impressed by his timeliness, his professionalism and enthusiasm. His ideas were fresh and he took all the stress out of having to deal with contractors and workmen. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Great design eye - Michael has a real knack for consolidating looks and sourcing reasonable features. Michael also has serious talent and a wonderful manner. He provided drawings, furniture and material options, helped with bidding contractors and vendors, was easy to work with, creative, organized, and detail oriented.

Michael did a complete design and remodel of my living room and did one incredible job. The place does not even look like the same home. He took it from a very cold and uninviting place to a warm place that people can relax and enjoy in comfort. Michael was extremely accommodating, professional and highly experience in his field. He handled everything from start to finish including drawings, ideas, scheduling of contractors as well as locating all the right furnishings to bring the entire place together. The end result of Michael work was amazing to say the least. Because of Michael I now have a transformed room that I enjoying spending time in. Anyone who is considering using him can rest assure he is in a class of his own.
