## About

### Houzz Badges

- 10,000 Ideabook Saves

Whether the home is a 19th century Back Bay townhouse or a contemporary loft in Manhattan, Carter & Company approaches design with an eye towards classic good taste. With Michael Carter’s guidance, the home is a synthesis of color, light, texture and form that visually and emotionally reflects the aesthetic and lifestyle of the owner. Confident and comfortable mixing the old with the new, Carter brings his love of architecture, art, antiques and timeless design to all of his projects.

“I believe that the design process is fundamentally about listening and respecting the client’s wishes. Above all, it must ultimately be a place you love to come home to.” - Michael Carter

Within the success of a beautifully conceived and executed interior design project are the nuts and bolts of simply getting the job done. Carter & Company’s team provides all needed coordination, site supervision, scheduling and installations. The goal of our professional design staff is to take all the worry and stress out of this creative process. We want the entire experience of realizing your dream home to be a joy.

## Selected projects

- [The New Classic](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-new-classic-pj-vj~2876812)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 24
  - Description: The New Classic is the re-imagining and redefining of some of New England’s iconic and beloved house styles in a way that is pared down, clean and uncluttered. The architecture is familiar but the interpretation feels modern and sophisticated. Here Carter & Company employs carefully-considered furnishings, bold decorative lighting, textured walls and fabrics with unexpected colors and geometric patterns. The result is what is often described as casual elegance and it fits the lifestyle of client…
- [The Artful Mix](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-artful-mix-pj-vj~2877040)
  - Location: Not specified

  - Description: The Artful Mix appeals to our clients who are not tied to convention and have a playful or adventurous spirit.

It can be deceptively simple when you break down the individual elements, but the real success lies in the masterful application of color, geometric patterns and sculptural pieces.

  - Description: The Historic Home lies at the heart of Michael Carter’s passion for interior design. Well versed in the academics of period architecture and antiques, Carter continues to be called on to bring fresh and inspiring ideas to historic properties that are undergoing restoration or redecoration. It is never the goal to have these homes feel like museums. Instead, Carter & Company strives to blend the function of contemporary life with design ideas that are appropriate – they respect the past in a way…

  - Description: The Escape embraces one of the best aspects of life in New England – the amazing range of natural settings within a relatively short distance from home that allows us an entirely different living experience. Here we get to rejuvenate and recreate with friends and family at our home away from home. From the mountains and lakes of New Hampshire, to the Island of Nantucket and the coast of Maine, Carter & Company has had the great fortune to help design, build and decorate some amazing vacation hom…
