He's exceptional! He has a gift of helping clients define their own style and make selections that fit them, vs. trying to get clients to conform to his style.

State Parkway in Chicago. Everything was done to perfection and done on a timely schedule. He completely redid the entire house and purchased all the furniture. His design and colors where excellent choices combining my traditional with my husband modern taste. His attention to detail is to outstanding from the items placed on the tables to flowerers in the rooms. Michael has continued to work for us in our summer home and about to oversee the Florida home in Naples. **★★★★★ — Denise Kaplan, March 2016** > Micheal Richman is talented, has exquisite taste, a great listener and collaborator.

We entertain frequently and I feel so proud of our beautiful, warm home Michael created for us. **★★★★★ — Chris Solomon, March 2016** > Michael and his assistant designer Nicole are the best! We loved working with them. Michael really took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for. We wanted to try something different as we decorated our Millennium Park condo and Michael really helped us achieve that WOW factor. We told him our overall direction, then we trusted him and deferred to his vision in bringing it all together. That was new for us and we are so glad that we trusted his vision - the outcome is incredible. > In addition to being a great designer, Michael and Nicole know how to work with busy professionals and were incredibly efficient with our time. They did so many things, both little and big, to make our life easier and the process a pleasure. I would definitely hire them again! **★★★★★ — Dick Hoffman, March 2016** > I met Michael during the sale of his totally renovated and decorated home. I loved the home he created so I contracted with him to design and furnish my home. The project included totally gutting the unit, architural design with complete construction plans, construction oversight and furnishing the unit. The project took a little over a year from the design to final furnishing. This weekend I sent Michael a text thanking him for creating a home I turely love living in. His attention to detail, ability to listen so he creates what you want and his knowledge (architecturally, construction and furnishing) is truely unique. When visiting various suppliers during the project they would often comment on his knowledge and how great he is to work with. Needless to say I am a very satisfied client. ## Selected projects - [Ritz Carlton Residences](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ritz-carlton-residences-pj-vj~1038474) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 13 - Description: Elegant, traditional, luxe, banquette, - [Facet Penthouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/facet-penthouse-pj-vj~1038220) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 16 - Description: Irregular and angled floor plan forced design team to consider the idea of expanding on an angled theme and an environment whose faceted detailing is as much about the requirements as it is for the client's desire to have an unusual and forward design that is arresting, sculptural and highly functional.

A: If you need a resource you can purchase the Bernhardt bed through our firm. **Q: Can you please let me know where you purchased the sliding door?** *(in Photo Questions)* Need a large one piece sliding door. Looking for a rustic industrial look. Thank you. A: Hi. I'm so sorry that i haven't responded sooner. This sliding door is a custom design and manufactured by Michael Richman Interiors. We offer different metal finishes and have done different patterns as well. All doors and hardware are made to order. Let me know if you'd like to price something out. If you email me directly i can send pics of other doors we've done. **Q: Any info on the desk? Thanks!** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Steph- Sorry for the delayed response. That desk is very special. We found it in New York when we were searching for fabulous vintage pieces for this client's home. It's from the late 50's and the designer is Silvio Cavatorta (Italy). I believe its rosewood and the top is a back painted deep green glass. Let me know if there's anything I can help you with. Michael **Q: Where can I find the artwork on the wall?** *(in Photo Questions)* I have been looking for that kind of artwork for our living room over 3 months, and it looks perfect for us. can you let me know where I can buy them or at least the name of painter? Thank you so much! A: If you're referring to the colorful piece in the center of the image that's a painting from the 1960's. Its color and collage. I don't know the name of the artist but I can look into it. I imagine that it's not an inexpensive piece due to it's provenance. The homeowner works for Sotheby's in the fine art department and has quite an eye...and a collection. **Q: obsessed with fur** *(in Photo Questions)* where can I get the chair or the Tibetan fur? A: I'm obsessed with fur too and try to put it in every project. Those chairs are vintage and part of my collection so for the time being I want to hang onto them. But the fur is easy to get. We work directly with an importer and can get a variety of colors and thicknesses...all at great prices. Let me know what your looking for and how much you need and we'd be happy to help out. **Q: Paint color** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi! What is the name of the gorgeous color on the walls? Thank you A: I love this group of colors. This happens to be Benjamin Moore Bear Creek, \#1470. We had the painter use Aura Matt for the powder room. Good luck. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-02.*
