Services

New Construction Interior Design

Our new construction interior design service creates bespoke living spaces for luxury homes ranging from 3,000 to 30,000 square feet. We collaborate with architects and builders throughout the design and construction phases, handling everything from initial concept development to final installation. Our process includes creating comprehensive finish selections, detailed construction documents, and overseeing all aspects of implementation to ensure your vision becomes reality with perfect execution.

Commercial Space Design

We specialize in designing functional yet aesthetically striking commercial environments for restaurants, boutique hotels, medical offices, and corporate headquarters. Our approach begins with understanding your brand identity and operational needs, then developing space plans that optimize workflow while creating memorable experiences. Services include schematic design, material selection, FF&E specification, and construction documentation to deliver spaces that enhance both productivity and client engagement through thoughtful, code-compliant design solutions.

Full-Service Interior Decoration

This comprehensive decoration service transforms spaces through coordinated furniture selection, window treatments, lighting design, and accessory placement. Our designers create personalized environments that reflect your lifestyle while maintaining functional flow. We handle every detail from initial concept boards to procurement and professional installation, including final touches like artwork placement and decorative lighting to create instantly livable, magazine-worthy interiors that showcase your personal style and achievements.

Project Management

Our project management service ensures seamless execution of design plans through all project phases. We coordinate with contractors, vendors, and architects to maintain design integrity while monitoring timelines and budgets. This includes regular site visits, quality control checks, and communication management to address any issues proactively. Clients receive regular progress updates while we handle all logistics, ensuring efficient implementation of design specifications with minimal disruption to their daily lives.

3D Renderings

We utilize advanced 3D rendering technology to help clients visualize design concepts before implementation. This service creates photorealistic images of proposed spaces, allowing for better decision-making and adjustments prior to construction. Our designers use Revit and other BIM software to produce detailed spatial representations that show material selections, lighting effects, and furniture arrangements in context, ensuring clear communication of design intent and reducing potential misunderstandings during the project execution phase.

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!!!

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 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. Lets 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!
