ABOUT THE DESIGNER

Michael Roberson is one of Washington’s top designers, admired and respected by her peers and acclaimed by the local and national design press. Like her unexpected name, there is nothing predictable about Michael’s work, except that it is always beautiful, interesting and fresh. Modern or traditional, she creates rooms that combine her reverence for light and space with a sense of hospitality and pure comfort. A Michael room is guaranteed to make you smile, beckon you to dream in an inviting nook or catch you by surprise with a bit of whimsy.

In business over 25 years, she recently completed a stunning Colonial in Kalorama, a Rosslyn condo with breathtaking views of Washington and a busy family home in Bethesda. Best known as a residential designer, Michael also works with clients in offices of major law firms and corporations.

In 2003, Michael was one of only 20 designers to be inducted into the Design Hall of Fame, the most prestigious honor ever given by The Washington Design Center. Her work has been widely published in House Beautiful, Southern Accents, Spaces and Traditional Home, as well as The Washingtonian, Home and Design and The Washington Post. House Beautiful has twice included her in their annual Top 100 Designers in America list.

Michael is an avid supporter of charity showhouses, having participated in or served as an advisor to over 12 different houses. Two of her showhouse designs were chosen by House Beautiful as the Top Ten Showhouse Rooms of the Year. In 2007, Michael volunteered her expertise to the creation of a 10 bedroom, 21 bed homeless shelter serving women, children and families in need of a dignified respite in her community.

Michael lives in Arlington, Virginia with her husband Rob and their dog Lucy. She enjoys experimenting in her garden, entertaining friends at home and spending time with her grandchildren.
