Meet the Team
Michael has over 20 years interior design experience and established Harpers Interiors just over 15 years ago. Clients love his natural charm and easy manner. With a meticulous eye for detail, Michael loves creating stunning residential interiors with an authentic quality that reflect their owner. He also relishes the opportunity to indulge his creativity on commercial interior projects. Michael’s real skill however, lies in his ability to balance aesthetics and function without compromise; overseeing all of our design projects ensuring they fit the client brief whilst achieving our timeless signature look. When he isn’t sourcing new products, designing custom cabinetry, or meeting with clients, you will find him spending family time with his son boating on Lake Windermere.
