Reviews of Michelle Dirkse Interior Design & Home Decor (Interior Designer)

Jay Kaufman

Michelle and her team designed and managed my office remodel. They were fantastic. From start to finish, they made the process smooth, efficient and most importantly: BEAUTIFUL!!! Michelle has a great 'eye' for design. My patients love the new office.

Michelle and her team are amazing! We worked together to choose all of the furniture, paint/wallpaper, lighting and art for my condo. From the first time I met her, she understood clearly what I already loved and how to add to that to create something I'd love even more. I was worried that working with a designer would mean being pressured to spend more than I wanted to but that was never the case. We chose pieces from the same stores I would've shopped at on my own, plus the team found things from places I didn't know existed. I only wish Michelle's own line of fabrics and wallpaper had existed at the time ... planning to get her wallpaper for my den!

Michelle and her team worked with us to update the main floor of our 1940s home, and later, furnish it. She is a great listener, respectful of budget, and helped us to establish our personal style - marrying modern and traditional design elements. We are so happy to have worked with MDID - we could have never achieved such a beautiful, cohesive interior without her expertise and counsel.

We've worked with Michelle on three completed projects (living room, master bedroom, nursery) and are kicking off a fourth - furnishing an empty house for my in-laws who are relocating to Seattle. Michelle and her talented crew are a lot of fun to work with, and most importantly they "get" the style my wife and I want, but are too overwhelmed to do ourselves. They really know their stuff, and I'm continually impressed by how they pull pieces from multiple vendors together into a cohesive whole. Definitely a huge step up from me buying a pre-designed set at a retail store! They're money very well spent in exchange for less stress and a beautiful home, and they're great about selecting pieces to fit into our budget for each project, too... without it looking like we set a budget!

Michelle is an amazing designer. She was able to understand our style and what we were looking for right away, and in many cases influenced us to consider ideas that weren't in our initial vision. The result definitely exceeded our expectations! It's been a year since we remodeled our home, and we still love every part of it. Michelle's team is very competent and professional.

Amazing Seattle designer with a keen, creative eye and fresh perspective.

Molly Davenport

Michelle is a pleasure to work with! She combines an amazing design esthetic with strong communication skills. I was so pleased that my projects -- first a 500-square-foot apartment and then a 750-square-foot condo -- weren't too small for her. Michelle is very conscious and respectful of clients' budgets and preferences. I never felt like she had an agenda other than to leave me with a space that was functional and lovely. Her recommendations for contractors to do work in my spaces were great.

Jodi Freudenberger

Michelle and her team helped us pull together some amazing interior design for our recently renovated home. It's sharp, clean, sophisticated, and just what we were looking for. They're easy to work with, professional, responsible, timely, and at the top of their game. We highly recommend them.

Euzel Villanueva

Michelle is an amazing designer who is the utmost professional and has a great/creative design sense. Worked with her on two projects with her picking out furniture, materials, and accents as well helping manage my contractors. Both projects came out fantastic in the end.

Marianne Haley

Michelle did a great job in taking a 1960's era 200 square foot bathroom and turning it into a classic with a timeless design and finishes. While she had a good vision for the end product, she listened and incorporated our important criteria into the final product. She also assisted in sourcing a reliable and quality contractor (Howard Freeman ). Michelle was always available throughout the process to clarify questions from us and the contractor and in the end, we ended up with a beautiful bathroom.

Michelle is part marriage counselor, part artist, and part visionary. My husband and I bought a 1989 designed condo, which needed some serious work. We had no idea where to start. She worked with us, especially listening to both of our needs and likes, to create a home that we truly love! We verbally comment to each other regularly how much we love how our home makes us feel as well as how so many details just work great for our family. Michelle painstakingly designed and documented every detail. While this was not inexpensive, it saved us extra expenses with our contractor and certainly resulted in a design that we are so happy with!
