INTERIOR DESIGNERS NORTHERN BEACHES SYDNEY
ABOUT MATT MICHEL DESIGN
Established in 2007, Matt Michel Design, interior designers Northern Beaches Sydney will combine creativity with technical experience to provide a unique outcome on each project. It is particularly important that the design responds to our client’s vision, site, budget and timeframe.
Based in a small loft Studio in Brookvale, we work in collaboration with clients and their other consultants and contractors, to achieve a balance between the functional and aesthetic.
We can also tender to our network of skilled cabinetmakers, builders, architects, stonemasons, glaziers and other trades, resulting in quality products that not only look great and will stand the test of time but are also great value for money.

Matt utilises the accuracy of Computer Aided Design for final drawings and detailing, but still prefers the speed of a pad and pen to communicate ideas with clients and contractors on site. Partial to quips and analogies to explain things from a different perspective, Matt’s favourite saying is “If you cant hide something, make a feature of it..”.
