About Michael J.

Michael Johnson

Principal

After working in the furnishing, fashion and design industries for the past 10 years, something I have learned to live by along the way is to never take yourself too seriously and that nothing in life is ever truly "set in stone."

I wholeheartedly believe that interior design and building a home reflects this methodology; people change, needs change, preferences change, and we believe that these fluctuations are a good thing. At Interiors by Michael J., we are obsessed with the evolving design process and we make an effort to be malleable for all of our clients.

A Note About Our Contracting Partners
and Vendor Relationships

- IBMJ is connected and partnered with a variety of different furniture retailers, licensed contractors, custom window treatment manufacturers, architects, and more to ensure your project is sourced and designed, on budget and on time. When renovating, remodeling, or shopping with IBMJ, there are no crazy markups; our clients receive our direct pricing with all vendors used to source for the project all the time, plain and simple.

Pricing Structure

We believe in being transparent with our pricing structure as we believe that it is something that is lacking in our particular industry. We charge as follows

Interior Design / Decorating / Home Remodeling Work - $150 / hour (Minimum 1/2 Hour) 

Drive Time - $75 / hour (Minimum 1/2 Hour)

Air BNB Design Projects – Assessed a flat design and staging fee based on the overall scope of work needed to complete the project

Discounts / Commissions - We offer our retail discounts to our clients. All vendors have different trade programs in place. Some vendors offer direct discounts off retail and we offer that discount to the client directly in that case. Some vendors offer discounts to the client in addition to a rebate or commission program for the designer. Some vendors do not offer us a discount at all.
