I have never really understood why people with perfectly good taste hire designers - until now! I hired Michael primarily because I had neither the time nor the energy to do a complete renovation of my beach condo. I expected him to do a competent, professional job, but I never expected a miraculous transformation. He used a lot of my own things and my own ideas, but he blended them with new furnishings and new ideas that turned my home into the place I had always wanted to live! When he finished, it looked exactly like I had done it myself if only I were a talented, trained designer with great taste and great resources! So grateful!!!

When Linda blew into our studio she brought in her amazing energy and vitality ! Linda brought in magazine tear sheets that she had been saving and it wasn’t long until her design style emerged......and yes you do have fabulous taste and style. We loved Linda’s crisp white Ralph Lauren shirts and we knew we had to provide a crisp,tailored and yet liveable environment. But best of all we developed a lifetime friendship ! Thanks Linda and Bill you guys are just simply the best !

Mr. Gainey and I have worked on several projects through the years and I continue to be in awe of the unique designs he delivers. There is no match for the high quality of materials and his attention to every detail. He brings beauty into each and every room he touches. I’ve learned to trust his process and design ideas and, even when I initially may have had reservations. He never disappoints. My home is my haven and Mr. Gainey has given me a beautiful and unique sanctuary that I love and am proud of.

My husband and I approached Michael a year ago about a complete renovation of our newly acquired Florida home. (Completely gutted down to the block and studs.) Being a "northerner" it was important to me to retain the Florida style of our home while remodeling and furnishing and I had no idea how to accomplish this task! Thank god for Michael and Victoria...
They greatly exceeded our expectations in every way. From recommending a contractor to redesigning the floor plan, supplying the furnishings, paint colors, kitchen cabinets and even plants! Our new home is absolutely stunning and yet it has retained a comfortable, Floridian vibe that is is too hard to explain but should definitely be experienced.
We are so glad to have connected with Michael and his team, they are like family!

Michael Gainey Signature Designs has been wonderful to work with and his ideas and suggestions have been spot on. Michael Gainey takes time to know you and your ideas and designs accordingly. He wants the project to be special and specific to his clients. What works for one client doesn't necessarily work for another client.
His designs are not short-term but, rather, they last for many years. In other words, his designs are not fads. We have had several projects over many years with Michael and his staff. When we tell people that the project was Michael Gainey design they are so impressed. We will always contact Michael for any future design projects.

We could not be happier with Michael Gainey! When we decided to retire to our aging vacation apartment on the ocean, we were overwhelmed at the prospect of trying to make it a real home. To say it was outdated and dilapidated would be an understatement. We have never considered ourselves to be "designer people" but we were desperate. A series of health problems and family deaths had left us without the energy or desire to take on a major project. When we found Michael, we knew he would save us - and he did! He turned that pathetic little place on the ocean into a home where we can grow old together. Of course, he is a talented and knowledgeable professional, but most importantly, he is a kind and understanding person who helped us make a difficult and emotional transition in our lives. We can't thank him enough.

Michael Gainey is the definition of a perfect designer. He took this project on and we are so proud to say we are his first salon design. I found him based off of extensive research for a designer and i searched as far as Orlando!
He is not only diligent and empathetic, he is charismatic and genuine as well :) He gave us more than we could have ever expected ranging from his natural talent for design to his absolutely amazing personality.
All of our customers have been mesmerized by the atmosphere he has created with our salon and we have had customers asking for his information but he is just so popular! We are so blessed to have had him take us on

I enlisted Michael's expertise last summer to assist with decorating my entire house to include new tile floors, painting of every wall and remodeling the master bath. Though the project was completed last fall, I was only recently able view the finished product. I can say is I'm 100% pleased with the results!
Michael's knowledge of colors, taking the basics colors my wife wanted and providing recommended shades to complement each other, was brilliant. His keen understanding of what the finish result would be was remarkable. I admit that I initially had doubts over redesigning the Master Bath, though Michael worked with us taking our descriptions of what we were looking for to provide the perfect design. As Michael kept stating, the process was fluid and organic, gaining life as we proceeded. The end result, including the beautiful mirrors and lighting Michael sourced, well exceeding my expectations! His vision was exceptional.
As we were new to the area, at my request, Michael was able to assemble a talented team that were professional, courteous and an absolute pleasure to work with in every phase of the remodel.
My wife and myself thoroughly enjoyed working with Michael on this project. He was professional yet personable and worked with us on every aspect of the project to ensure the finished result reflected our personality.
I highly recommend Michael and look forward to working with him again in the near future to finish the furnishing of our new home!

At Preston Studios we often find that an interior designer can "translate" for us. Michael has that "art speak" we need to understand exactly what clients (who are often high level professionals in their own fields) need and want. In one particular case the client wanted something along the Frank Lloyd Wright look in stained glass, but as Michael put it "not strictly." The result was perfect for both the home and the client and his help/approval in colors was also right on. Anyone would find working with Michael an easy task.

Michael Gainey came to my home and gave me great ideas about colors to use to make things "pop" and to make sure I use colors that blend with my decor. The color he advised me to use is perfect! He explained how the items I have can be used as they are and educated me about different styles and gave me ideas on fabrics to use on my wing chairs that will best compliment my room. He also took time to explain how to arrange my pictures and how to best place my accessories. It was such a pleasant experience. He has impeccable taste and a wonderful sense of style and is fun to work with. You can tell how much he enjoys his profession and has a good relationship with his clients. I truly appreciated his help and will continue working with him to make my home exactly like I want it.

We had a new office built out recently and incorporated Michael's services from the beginning. We are a boutique financial planning and investment management firm and wanted a boutique-type feel for our office. Michael worked with our construction supervisor and provided input along the way. I obviously had to make some decisions and be somewhat involved in the process, but Michael's personal service and follow up made that easy. He truly cares about the work that he does and we are thrilled with the end result. Everyone who comes into our office comments on how nice it turned out.

Michael is the greatest! I had used Houzz to find an interior designer, and contacted a few different ones in the area. Some contacted me after a few days, others never responded at all, but Michael responded within an hour (at 11pm at night!) I appreciate those who really understand the value of their clients. Michael was eager to get together with me to talk about what I was looking to have done for our house. Within a few moments with Michael, I could tell he understood me 100%, and I immediately felt comfortable having him make the decisions for me. I gave him full reign of design with the house, and now that we have our furniture and designs in, I could not be any happier with the outcome. We will continue to work with Michael on the little touches, and I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone in need of interior decorating/design. Thank you Michael!

What a wonderful experience and pleasure it was to work with Michael and Bryson Gainey. They both take their work very seriously and very much enjoy what they do and it shows in their attitude towards clients. They were very prompt about keeping me informed and up to date on the couple small projects that they completed in our home. Nothing but great things to say about Micheal Gainey Signature Designs. I will most likely use them again for future projects. We highly recommend Michael Gainey Signature Designs to anyone who is looking for an interior designer whether the project be big or small like ours.

Michael Gainey is an amazing designer! He truly has a talent – not only in design but also in listening to his clients and learning their individual tastes. A snowbird from PA, I “found” Michael on the Internet. I liked what I saw on his website and decided to call him when I decided to remodel our master bath. I knew it was going to be a major project and wasn’t confident in picking out the tiles and all that goes with it on my own. The transformation from our 1980's master bath to our luxurious spa/retreat was amazing! I found Michael to be so upbeat, fun and professional. Throughout the project, I was even more impressed with Michael. He gives 110% in all he does and is not afraid to regroup, rethink, if he feels something isn’t right. Michael is the utmost professional which added to his talent in design and years in the business makes him number one in my book. My husband and I love Michael and will be working with Michael on future projects along with his son Bryson who is as talented as his dad! Thank you Michael and Bryson for our gorgeous Master Bath, spa and retreat!!

Michael has just an amazing knowledge of design and an ability to take what you're passionate over and make that a reality! Chatting with others regarding the space under design and what I had in mind, most would simply say, "well it depends on your taste," or, "if that's what you like." That, of course, is true. It's my space and it needs to be my taste. But just because I like the Greek key design and Turkish Iznik patterns and old New York subway tiles and turquois, does not mean that they all thrive together in one room! It was not until working with Michael did I realize that I did not want an arrangement of all my favorite things, where nothing would stand out and be striking, because it was all competitive. Michael is the king of understatement and what's classic, and never looks to overdesign.
Michael will be forthcoming and tell you if some things can stay "as is" and be part of the final design. Many designers are looking to start with a clean palate. It's as if they have a vision, but cannot see the pieces and elements already there. If you want to start fresh and completely gut a space, I have no doubt Michael can make your vision a reality. But perhaps it's more of a skill to work with existing components or finishes to accomplish your goals.
For me, the job at hand is a public bathroom in a building constructed in 1925. I love the penny tile floor, subway tile walls, and marble stall dividers. But at 90 years old, the wear and tear has taken its toll. The office and retail tenants have been after me to "renovate" it, and that conditioned me into thinking a complete redesign was the only option. But, Michael's love for the classic and appreciation for history caused me to rethink that! We're going to redo do the floor with brand new penny tile! It will be new and clean and not rusty but still look like 1925. Additionally, we're going to add a black and white Greek key inset for even more history and character, which certainly could have been part of the original design 90 years ago! We're going to leave 90 percent of the subway tile, since brand new pure white subway tile will not look like the beautifully aged character of the 90 year old tile. But for those pieces that are broken or otherwise damaged, we will replace with other subway tile from 1925 that I have in other places in the building, utilizing material from storage areas and the like that are hidden.
The marble stalls will be cleaned with acetone and polished up. The original toilets will be pulled, cleaned and restored, and brand new valves and pipes will be custom made by Sloan valve company designed for their legacy toilets. A new vanity and marble top to accent the marble stall dividers. And the walls areas not covered with subway tile will be plastered smooth, which is a New York look I love and miss in this world of "knockdown" walls and other texture methods designed to hide imperfections. Michael is designing drapes for the schoolhouse-looking window with a very subtle Greek motif. I can't wait to see them! I conceded to Michael's expertise that adding Turkish Iznik picture tiles would simply be too much of a distraction from the clean, dramatic, and classic New York look. I'll save those for another project, and of course, Michael will be involved in that!
Back to Michael's expertise. He doesn't just have gut feelings about design. He understands history and what components were typical in every era! He is a delight to work with, and I truly say "work with" because although he is the expert, I felt that he took my passions and thoughts and made them his own. If he was designing the same space for anyone else, the end product would be completely different, although it would still be amazing and a perfect expression of the owner. That's a master!

Michael is an outstanding decorator and is warm and friendly. His knowledge is suberb and he applies it to your personal decorating needs. If you need a professional to either fine tune or completely take the reigns of your project, he is there for you.
Years ago my husbands two health professional offices were in need of redecorating and he was spot on with timeless execution.
I recently hired him to help with our recently purchased older beachside rental house property's exterior and interior painting needs. His suggestions were exactly what was needed to "make her graceful". We couldn't be more pleased with the results.
He is genuine and fun to work with!
Went to Michael again for the renovation and major addition needs at my husbands multi doctor practice.
He helped with the new materials (paint, flooring, cabinetry) selections and we were all very pleased with the outcome. Due to budget restrictions we needed to incorporate some of the old with the new and it looks great!
He worked with the contractors project manager and everything was on time. A professional, more importantly, a person who listens to your needs and wants and pulls it all together.

My experience with Michael Gainey was nothing short of delightful and refreshing. I contacted Michael during my indecision regarding color palettes for my master bed/bath area. At one point, I counted eleven colors on the wall. Admit it…we’ve all gotten stuck at some point. That’s when I discovered Michael. Not only did he accommodate my schedule and my budget, but engaged me in the process. It was clear to me that he was sincerely interested in who I was as a person and wanted my taste (not his) to be reflected in my home. His knowledge and level of expertise was extremely impressive, yet I found Michael to be very grounded, gracious and humble. Whatever your design needs might be…….don’t even hesitate. You will not be disappointed!

Michael is a true professional. I had hesitation using a decorator but my busy schedule was the deciding factor in moving forward with this decision. My concerns included being certain my husband and my vision for our home was carried out , We also were concerned with cost, time constraints, interruption to my household as I run a business from my home and having strangers access my home. Michael took incredible care to not only carry out our vision for our new home, but expanded my vision above and beyond what I could have accomplished on my own. He and his team, including a very talented son, exceeded my expectations at so many levels. Our project included custom drapery, bedding, paint, wallpaper, lighting, gorgeous molding, art, area rugs, custom headboards and pillows, custom window treatments, and custom furniture. On a project of this magnitude, there will be challenges. Any issue that arose was resolved immediately with out any effort put forth on our part. Michael handled everything. Michael and his team are talented, considerate, unobtrusive professionals, very fairly priced and I would work with anyone of them on any project, anytime. It took me forever to write this review simply because words don't do Michael and his team justice - nothing I write seems good enough!!! All I can say is we truly love our home - it was a complete success and an amazing experience to work with Michael. His talent is exceeded only by his precious soul. I would highly recommend Michael Gainey Signature Designs to anyone - for any project!!

Michael is one of the best designers we have worked with in remodeling our home. A few years ago we had remodeled other areas and when I had to complete a few additional rooms, we decided to choose another designer; we contacted Michael and we wish we had chosen him at the beginning ! He looked at our entire home carefully, what we had done, and what needed attention, and formulated a design and plan that flowed with our home and complimented our style. The living and dining areas are not only warm and calming, they are now rooms I enjoy using more frequently .
Michael is also practical and incorporates keepsakes (and other items you may hold near and dear to you) into the new design .
We mixed new and current furniture and added accents to our rooms.
We added an outdoor area to our plan and it now looks better than ever.
We plan to use Michael to complete our guest rooms and add to our family room/kitchen areas for some final touch ups.
I highly recommend Michael !

Outstanding service, great ideas, great follow through made for an excellent experience.
Remodel of 1993 house. Created a craftsman theme which incorporated our furniture and taste. New floors, new paint colors inside and out, new fixtures, new furniture, pavers for pool deck, arrangement of personal art and photos, changed drywall arches to cased openings, new trim style, and more. Also changed out old leaking picture window with hurricane impact glass through his contractors. Probably forgetting things as we did so much. Michael was always prompt, professional, friendly and caring in his interaction. He gave us a great amount of his time and never indicated it was too much.
We are very happy with Michael's service and highly recommend him for any renovation or design service.

Michael Gainey has an intuitive and creative ability to go beyond his customers' wishes for great design. I sought his expertise for a living room window treatment that would frame the beautiful scenery of a rolling golf course behind my house. Michael's sketch for the project was so much more than I had hoped. Without detracting from the exterior view, he chose soft shades and textures to compliment the colors of nature, while at the same time, enhancing the interior's palette and furniture style. His unique design, incorporating small amounts of five complementary fabrics and trims is breath-taking and never fails to elicit an "ah-h-h" as first-time visitors enter the front door of my home.

I worked with Michael many years ago and recently searched him out for the "fluff and buff" service and to help us update our master bedroom. I was at a loss on color and theme and also needed help giving the rest of the house a fresh look. Michael and Bryson came to our home and reorganized furniture and accessories --- wow what a difference---plus it was fun! They assisted in picking out paint color for the bedroom as a 'first step' and then helped select bedding and accessories to finish off the room. Finally---our bedroom is the relaxing retreat we have wanted since moving in the house 7 years ago!
Michael and Bryson were very responsive and great at following up with us throughout the project. They were also mindful of our budget and simply wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend Michael and Bryson Gainey to help you with your next decorating experience!

I use the services of Michael Gainey to help me with light fixtures in the kitchen and window blinds and curtains. He was very response and attentive to my needs. He found very professional contractors and supervised the work diligently. The project was completed on time and on budget. I will re-hire him on my next project.

Michael Gainey is a joy to work with and a wonderfully creative designer! We used Michael when our new Suntree home was built and he helped us realize the vision we had for some of its artistic and retro finishing touches. Recently, Michael jumped right in to an office makeover, helping us to restore a historically significant space to its former glory. It now has stunning visual appeal, in addition to being a comfortable and historically relevant work environment. It was refreshing to work with a professional who was happy do 'as little or as much' as WE wanted. We appreciated that he didn't exert pressure on us, or try to "hard-sell" us on any aspect of the projects. In both instances, the results reflected our personalities --not his. We can recommend Michael Gainey with 100% confidence to anyone who is looking for a thoughtful and resourceful designer to transform an existing space or bring a new space to life.

I have worked for Michael Gainey Designs for quite a while now. I have supplied him with window blinds and window shutters. He always knows what colors or styles works best for what the customer is looking for. He always helps to coordinate my installs so that everything works out smoothly.
Also payment for services have always been on time and never a worry.
If your looking for a designer for a small or a large job, you owe it to yourself to have a meeting with him too see what he can design for you.

I initially hired Michael to implement his well known "fluff and buff" service. He came to my home and reorganized furniture and accessories to show them to their full potential. I was very impressed with how little changes made a big difference.
I asked Michael for some suggestions for my master bedroom. We enhanced my bed and bath by changing my paint colors and adding to my window treatments. My bedroom is now very soft and welcoming.
Lastly, I wanted to change my sofa and chair which were showing wear. Michael helped me pick a great quality sofa, chair, and coffee table that really gives my family room some pizazz.
Overall, I feel that Michael and his team have the creativity, knowledge, and resources to transform your space from ordinary to extraordinary.

Michael Gainey is an excellent designer with wonderful, creative ideas. He collaborates with the client in a way that uses both their style and ideas, but bumps it up another level to look coherent and beautifully current, without breaking the bank. Plus, he's so much fun to work with. I highly recommend Michael Gainey Signature Designs!

I've been working with Michael Gainey Signature Designs for the last year on a complete home remodel project. From our very first meeting, I felt comfortable that Michael understood my style and needs. He worked within my timeframe and budget and provided guidance and suggestions through out the entire project. Michael is so talented in coordinating colors and textures and the result is better than I could have ever imagined! He also works directly with several vendors and can provide high quality furniture at internet pricing. I would highly recommend Michael and his team and look forward to working with them again in the future.

I first hired Michael Gainey over ten years ago when I was building a custom home. Since that time I have continually relied on Michael for all my home design projects and was delighted when Michael Gainey Signature Designs opened in nearby Cocoa Village. Michael's masterful experience combined with his fresh ideas and honest opinions have produced results for my home that are absolutely amazing! Not only did Michael listen to the goals for the look I was trying to achieve but he made them a reality for me and the result was even better than I envisioned. I will continue to consult Michael for all my home design needs and look forward to seeing his 'magic' transpire throughout my home.
