His professionalism with his expertise and personality makes it easy for us to convey our needs to him. He listens well, always punctual and pays attention to detail. We are very happy and satisfied with the quality of work he gave us. Would definitely hire him back anytime. **Comment from Michael Taylor Interiors:** > THANK YOU Lacey and Dan...you guys were a pleasure to work with and the window treatments add so much depth to each of your rooms! Glad to be able to help....anytime.. **★★★★★ — Debbie Robb, May 2019** > We hired Michael as we quickly became overwhelmed when we downsized. Michael stepped in with confidence and expertise, helping us navigate the waters of renovating a new space. His contacts with excellent painter, stone company, tile/flooring company, shower glass company, local furniture companies and artists, moving company as well as his recommendations on color, fabric, use of space, proper placement of existing furniture to protect our budget..all were a tremendous blessing to us. Michael listened to us, respected our choices and steered us away from what could have been costly mistakes. We asked Michael to be there on “move day”. His diagram of our space, knowledge of the furniture we bought/brought, & directions to movers helped this day happen seamlessly. He came back later to help us place and hang artwork, even placing books and knickknacks for us. Michael is a joy to work with. We couldn’t give a higher recommendation for this fantastic designer. We won’t hesitate to call him for future design needs. **Comment from Michael Taylor Interiors:** > Debbie....Ya'll were a JOY to work with..and your new downsized condo from your home was remodeled so nicely ! We did it!!! So glad ya'll are happy in your new space. > MIchael **★★★★★ — Derin Drayne, Dec. 2018** > Michael was wonderful to work with, very professional and took his time to make sure everything was done exactly as I wanted it. I highly recommend Michael to anyone no matter your budget Michael can make it look great! **Comment from Michael Taylor Interiors:** > THANK YOU Derin working in your brand new HOME was awesome...your space > was beautiful to work with. Glad I was able to accommodate all your needs. ...and can't wait for your new arrival!! **★★★★★ — Herb Figel, Aug. 2016** > We hired Michael Taylor Interiors for design input for remodeling our house prior to selling. Specifically he designed a complete master bath remodel and specific changes to properly stage the home. Included paint, flooring, furniture and other décor items. Michael went through the house room by room and provided direction on how to spend our remodeling dollars. Additionally, he met with us multiple times at various suppliers to make purchase decisions. Michael is very conscious of adhering to the style of the customer and not pushing in an unwanted direction. In our case, providing input as to latest trends and what will help our home to sell. He also provided good contact information for subcontractors and material suppliers and stayed involved in making sure we were satisfied with their work and products. He is very easy to work with. Anytime we had a question he would respond quickly by phone, text or email. We would definitely hire Michael Taylor for our next project if we weren't leaving the area! Highly recommend him to others looking for an interior designer. **Comment from Michael Taylor Interiors:** > We still have some small projects to work on before the house goes on the market....but the major work is done! Herb you should post some before/after photos of that gorgeous bathroom we worked hard on..Thanks for the great review.. **★★★★★ — suefrankguarino, Aug. 2016** > I hired Michael Taylor Interiors to help me redo my living room. I couldn't be happier. Mike asked me about what I wanted to keep, my budget, my likes / dislikes, and how I wanted to work with him. I chose to accompany him to the stores to look around (rather than him going to stores and taking pictures).. At each place he took me, I found wonderful, non-pushy, and very helpful staff. Mike's help in choosing fabrics was invaluable. I would still be there looking if it weren't for him. He has a great eye for colors, fabrics, etc. He found me a great side table in an estate sale! Additionally, he rearranged my art work to complement the new furniture. > > I also hired Mike to recover my dining room chairs. They look completely new and again, his eye for colors, patterns, and fabrics was incredible. > > He is honest, fair, very talented, and easy to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Michael Taylor Interiors again and have already recommended him to several friends. **Comment from Michael Taylor Interiors:** > AND those friends have started calling me So Thank You so much for the referral its honestly how I get most of my new clients. I'm glad you were very satisfied with the end product. Happy to be of help to you! Michael **★★★★★ — Laura Martin, Aug. 2016** > Michael was so easy to work with! He understood that I was having analysis paralysis and help me towards great decisions on paint colors, wallpaper, fabrics and decor. He also very patient with some slow decision making! I love the result and I am happy every day in my home. **★★★★★ — paulahooper64, Dec. 2015** > Michael is wonderful to work with. Very professional and has great ideas. Willing to work with any level of need from design ideas to hiring professionals needed for other work. I have recommended them to other people. **Comment from Michael Taylor Interiors:** > Thanks PH for your wonderful testimony...I appreciate it! When you are ready to do more work on the house..let me know!! **★★★★★ — crick747, Dec. 2015** > Michael was absolutely wonderful to work with. He helped us decorate a house we had just moved into in Collierville. On our first meeting, he promised to do as much as as little as we wanted. No high pressure to change something or buy something new, he really just wanted us to love our space. Michael helped us pick interior paint colors, helped us get an excellent painter to do the job, went shopping with us to coordinate some new furniture we wanted, and helped us put it all together with stuff we already had. He helped us decorate every room in our house by helping us find some new stuff but also using a lot of stuff we had. Some rooms just needed a little paint and something on the walls while other were total re-dos, and he was great with both. He was excellent at staying on budget and keeping us to our deadline! I highly recommend him to anyone that wants to change up their interior whether a little or a lot, Michael is fantastic! **Comment from Michael Taylor Interiors:** > THANK YOU so much for the vote of confidence..so appreciate it!! Michael **★★★★★ — Dana Berry, July 2014** > Michael was wonderful! He came into a bit of a decorating mess, and helped get things in order. I was worried about hiring an Interior Decorator, because I thought they would cost too much, and would want to spend more on buying. I appreciated that: 1. He used what I already had and made everything look more put together and less cluttered 2. He made sure that the two hour initial meeting was well used and didn't waste a second. 3. While he let me know he could help purchase things if I was interested, he did not push, and again, he just improved upon what I already had. This is the best my house has ever felt. . .more open, more organized, more peaceful. I am no longer afraid of hiring an Interior Decorator, as long as, Michael is by my side. **Comment from Michael Taylor Interiors:** > Dana...Thanks so much...reading reviews like this make me feel so good about what I do for people and their homes, I appreciate you!! **★★★★★ — jondean1, March 2014** > Michael is cordial, skilled, and concerned as much with my tastes as he is with his recommendations. He understands sentimental pieces and heirlooms and works to incorporate them into his design. He saved us by suggesting paint colors for our kitchen which had very difficult tile to match. Michael is patient (we have been working on this house for almost a year now), honest, and has a good eye for the big picture. We are still using him and I would definitely use him again on other projects. **★★★★★ — cbutler350, Feb. 2014** > My husband and I moved into a home that we remodeled shortly after we were married. We met with several decorators, but none seemed to fit our ideas or type of style. Then we discovered Michael Taylor Interiors. Michael really listened and took careful consideration of our likes and dislikes. He helped us arrange our existing furniture and select new pieces as well. Michael created a wonderful design and really optimized our space. He found items that were wonderfully priced and even helped create a custom-design linen cabinet for our bathroom. I would definitely recommend Michael Taylor. He is incredibly talented and went above and beyond our expectations. **Comment from Michael Taylor Interiors:** > Thanks Christy! I enjoyed working with you and hope I can help you in future projects! **★★★★★ — User, Feb. 2014** > Michael's talents are on display in our new showroom. He took a blank vignette and added warmth and life to it with his selections of accessories and art. This was all done on a time sensitive deadline, as we wanted to have things staged before our grand opening. Michael made that happen! And we've gotten nothing but compliments about his work here for us. He is a pleasure to work with and we are very happy to be able to let others see his work in our showroom. ## Selected projects - [Bathroom Renovations](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-renovations-pj-vj~5475158) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: Before and After an Arlington Bath reno.. - [Misty Neutral Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/misty-neutral-bath-pj-vj~1049960) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: A soothing neutral bath that appears far more spacious than the Before shots is the result of a inspired layout, frameless glass, and a tightly controlled color palette. Limiting the contrast between elements helps the room to feel larger than it really is, and the creative banjo style counter with the stepped back cabinets gives much needed storage space over the former pedestal sink. - [No Whine Wine Bar by Kemper Echo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/no-whine-wine-bar-by-kemper-echo-pj-vj~436503) - Location: Bartlett, TN - Photos: 10 - Description: This is a traditional looking kitchen for the budget conscious customer. The recessed panel cherry cabinets are finished in a warm Barley stain, and accented with a Brown Sugar glaze. The New Venetian Gold granite is another beautiful budget choice, as is the ivory travertine backsplash with the Venetian Bronze deco inserts.

Thanks! A: Thank you....It's Tarver Cherry in Amber Suede w/Brown Sugar Glaze and the boxes are actually just made of plywood. This was done for this specific vignette I designed for my local PROSOURCE here in Memphis, TN....if you have a prosource locallyl..look them up!! Thanks! **Q: What color area rug works in this room?** *(in Photo Questions)* Should I match the color of my area rug to the sofa (gray) or to the wall color (beige) A: is that chair an ottoman pink? you may love that...but it looks like the elephant in the room. I agree with others remove it, if you can. IF NOT and its a family piece, I'm agree with others too, something vibrant and RED, if you bring a vibrant red in the room it will tone the pink down and also bring out the color of your matching chairs....bring some color in the room.... --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
