Studio M was a pleasure to work with! The staff was passionate about ensuring our design objectives were fully met. I cannot say enough about the entire team, their attention to detail and the end result of our project. Studio M exceeded our expectations. Their work has garnered tremendously positive feedback and has served as a template for future projects moving forward. In a world where time is money and with so many firms over promising and under delivering, it was refreshing to feel valued and have the end result be something that far exceeded what we had hoped and with such attention to detail. I cannot say enough about Studio M, their commitment to the customer and their ability to bring the "wow" factor in all they do!

We used Studio M for our Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (FF&E) in a $10 million budgeted building project. Studio M provided an incredible team of people who we just fell in love with because of their excellent insight and suggestions. They were AWESOME! Studio M's showroom is warm, inviting and allows for exceptional creativity! I can't say enough about their employees! They will take your dreams and desires and make it a reality! THANK YOU Studio M!

One of the best design firms I have ever worked with. Studio M handled all of the interior design for our new construction home and our family couldn't be more happy. Michelle and her team not only true professionals but the BEST I have ever worked with. In fact, we hired two other firms before a friend suggested we call Studio M.

I had never worked with an interior designer before and I can honestly say that I thought I never would! I was building a new home in South Tampa and needed help with not only buying furniture but specifying every interior detail of my home. Let's just say that Michelle (founder) and her entire staff made this process not only easy but fun! I would definitely recommend them to anyone building or renovating their home. Professional, honest, and easy to work with!

I learned of Studio M when I was invited by an renowned and popular interior designer to attend Studio M's 20th Anniversary celebration, which was held in conjunction with the completion of the studio's work on a very large Davis Isle estate.

I originally met the team from Studio M through design excursions to Brizo's Fashion Week in NYC and to the GE Monogram Experience in Kentucky. I have since followed their work through outlets like Houzz and Facebook, as well as via their highly-stylized talkDesign newsletter.
