She combines expertise with extreme patience and a sunny disposition. She helped us make all the tile choices building a house which would have been overwhelming without her, and we’re thrilled with how it all came out. We would highly recommend her. **Comment from Michele Hagen for Pecks:** > Ruth, thank you so much for the review. It was such a pleasure working with you both! I am so glad you are pleased with how things turned out. Enjoy your new home!! **★★★★★ — svalanzola, Sept. 2014** > It was very fortunate for us that we walked into Cabot House when we did. We were greeted by Michele who was professional, polite and full of knowledge. We had her come to the house and assist us in decorating our living room. I say we were fortunate because she had so much experience and knowledge. We had been to many furniture stores and not one employee came close to the kind of service she provided. You could see she was passionate about what she does. She didn't come off like she "had" to work...…she truly enjoyed working with us. There are so many places you go now a days where the employees give off that feeling of unhappiness with their jobs. Michele never once made us feel like we were putting her out of her way. You could see and sense she truly enjoyed doing what she does. It would be so great if everywhere you went there were people like Michele waiting to assist you. The results were gorgeous. We just recently received the furniture and it looks absolutely beautiful. **★★★★★ — bodbodbod, Sept. 2014** > By far the best decorator I have ever engaged. I found Michele to be cordial, no-nonsense, fun, efficient very thorough, and extremely detail oriented. My project involved a Florida condominium. I must confess, I was completely bewildered until I met with Michele. She was able to work efficiently and effectively with me in ferreting out my innermost thoughts. (I didn't know what I truly wanted).) She reviewed the interior architectural renderings, framed everything for me and at the outset put me at ease, As it turned out, the out-of-state project suddenly returned to being fun! I am a senior lady and she guided me with not only the furniture selections, the fabrics...right down to the pillows too. The floor selection, paint colors and even suggestions for the interior wall décor. I am thrilled. > > I would go out of my way to utilize her services again. **★★★★★ — dmsouz, June 2013** > We would highly recommend Michele Hagen to family and friends for her quality of ideas, professionalism and responsiveness. > > In terms of ideas, Michele has worked with us on the entire first floor of our home, and struck a nice balance between working with our existing colors and furnishings while guiding us in sourcing new items. She'd be great for staging or a complete redesign in this regard. Each individual suggestion (be it a color, furnishing or home accessory) was framed with 1) her overall concept for the specific space and 2) a fundemantal of interior design, such as tiered height or proper spacing of wall art. > > As a professional, Michele is organized, punctual and articulates her ideas extremely well. At the end of each consultation, she does a nice job of highlighting our own client to-dos in order to keep our project on the timeline we desire. > > Finally, she is very responsive to phone and email queries as we exchange ideas to put our space together. Additionally, she encourages very brief stopovers to take a look at samples in our space before we make a full purchase. In our case, she'd suggested a few rugs and paint colors, and wanted to first view the samples with us. > > Overall, excellent quality and value and we would not hesitate to refer her. **★★★★★ — schmidt265, June 2013** > I hired Michele to help me decorate my new home. Moved from a small house to a large open floor plan home with tall ceilings and a 20ft high great room. I wanted to utilize as much of my existing furniture / colors as possible. > > Michelle has been a pleasure to work with. She has an amazing sense of style, color, texture and height awareness. Michelle works within my budget. She is savvy about finding a less expensive options for an item so I can use the saved money on an item (rug, furniture or accessory) that the room really needs. > > She has visited my home numerous times. We started out with just ideas, colors and concepts. Then once pieces we had ordered started coming in, we met at my home to keep working forward. She will be coming again soon to pick out paint colors and do the finishing touches. > > Michele is very dependable. She can easily be reached via email or cell phone and she is quick to return calls. > > I highly recommend Michele. She is not overbearing. She has really made this a fun process. **★★★★★ — terriscott12, May 2013** > Michele was very enthusiastic and pleasant to work with. She was very patient and knowledgeable when helping me to find the right furniture for our condo. Michele was prompt with her estimates and ordering items for us . She also worked tirelessly with me for several hours over a period of a few days looking at many fabrics from different manufacturers in order to complete the project in a timely manner. I really enjoyed the experience with Michele and highly recommend her for her design sense and easy to work with style. **★★★★★ — kathcaul, May 2013** > Michele worked with me to furnish my living room, including window treatments. Her greatest skill is taking the time to understand and identify the taste of her clients. She is respectful, patient, and supportive. Once she targets the direction of the project, she is generous with ideas and time. Her taste is excellent and eclectic. She is not reluctant to present several options and is always cognizant of budgetary constraints. I am pleased to have the opportunity to give her the highest of recommendations. **★★★★★ — luminaria, May 2013** > Michele is a true professional and I enjoyed working with her on selecting furniture for my new courtyard-patio. She has helped me with several decorating projects, and has a keen eye for style. Michele knows how to work with color, scale, texture, and lighting to design inviting and comfortable rooms. She is very dedicated to her work and when we meet she has a folder filled with pictures of furniture and decorating ideas specifically for my home. She is extremely intuitive and always understands the look I am trying to create, but at the same time she is practical in terms of budget and with selecting products that will withstand my busy family. On this most recent project Michele suggested a collection that would give me the look that I want for a reasonable price. She recommended adding tables from a second collection that offered additional options (glass tops) because she didn't want the seating area to appear too heavy and dark. Michele was also very patient with me, as I changed my mind about fabric and finishes several times. I highly recommend Michele Hagen. ## Selected projects - [Mood Board: Love Neutrals!](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mood-board-love-neutrals-pj-vj~7089053) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Restaurant Re-design Sushi Joy](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/restaurant-re-design-sushi-joy-pj-vj~7249728) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Dramatic Diningroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dramatic-diningroom-pj-vj~7247892) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Retail Showroom Merchandising](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/retail-showroom-merchandising-pj-vj~7247879) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Cottage Update](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cottage-update-pj-vj~7003544) - Location: Plymouth, MA - Photos: 5 - [Retail Lavatory](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/retail-lavatory-pj-vj~6658947) - Location: Kingston, MA - Photos: 1 - [Updated Craftsman](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/updated-craftsman-pj-vj~6447164) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [East Weymouth](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/east-weymouth-pj-vj~6291916) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Pine Hills Kitchen & Bath Design New Construction](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pine-hills-kitchen-and-bath-design-new-construction-pj-vj~5840476) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Living room Update Before & After](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/living-room-update-before-and-after-pj-vj~5840470) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Updated Beach Cottage Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/updated-beach-cottage-bath-pj-vj~5819826) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Updated Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/updated-cottage-pj-vj~5819796) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [South Boston Bath Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/south-boston-bath-renovation-pj-vj~1377706) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Renovated Kitchen and New Floor Plan](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/renovated-kitchen-and-new-floor-plan-pj-vj~1837033) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Renovated and Expanded Kitchen.

Thanks. A: This vase was an accessory purchased from a local furniture store in the Braintree, Ma. area **Q: I am looking at these Pier 1 chairs for our** *(in Photo Questions)* small den/office...have they held up okay? A: These are good sturdy chairs and have held up well. I would recommend them for medium or low use however. **Q: is the paint or ? between the veritcal boards?** *(in Photo Questions)* How was it done? A: The Cabinets were prefinished w/ a glaze which accentuates the grooves in the cabinetry. **Q: Need ideas what to do with high ceiling in our kitchen** *(in Design Dilemma)* My hubby and I just finished designing and building our own house this past year. We didn't realize how high the ceiling in the kitchen was until it was built - it's 12 feet high. Our house is 1.5 stories with an open concept loft on either side of the livingroom with a walkway connecting each. So, while standing in either loft or the walkway, one can see down into the kitchen. The kitchen is located at the rear of the house, facing south and while it's a bit sparce right now in terms of furniture and decor; I'm leaning towards country/cottage style. A: My design advice is to install a large scaled light fixture over the table to fill some some of the visual space in the upper half of the room, also placing tall accessories on top of your kitchen cabinets will help to fill some of the empty space as well. Finally you will achieve warmth and interest by adding drapery panels to your windows; install the panels higher than the actual window for a dramatic effect. You may want to consider artwork or a collection of plates to fill empty wall space. For additional design advice feel free to contact me @ Michele Hagen Interiors 781-378-1926 for a full design consultation. **Q: Wood trim: keep or paint white?** *(in Design Dilemma)* We have a house with wood trim and doors. What is your opinion: should we keep the wood trim or paint it white? I'm attaching the pictures of various rooms in the house. Thanks in advance for your feedback! A: My design advice is to do one of two things: Either paint the walls deeper/rich colors to complement your wood trim/doors, or if you prefer to keep the walls lighter, you would get a nicer result by painting your trim and doors white. Feel free to contact my design office at Michele Hagen Interiors 781-378-1926 to schedule an in home consultation. **Q: Paint color** *(in Photo Questions)* Do you know what the paint color on walls is! A: The chairs are from Pier One Imports and the cushions were custom made @ a local upholsterer. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-10.*
