MICHAEL RAINES
Senior Design Consultant

Helping you discover your personal style
for the home of your dreams

Delivered effective and compelling interiors for 60 residential and commercial projects. Throughout the past 7 years, I have developed a strong understanding of scale, proportion, the nuances of colour, and a in-depth knowledge of the creative process applied to interior living spaces.

I’ve always been endlessly passionate with all things creative and beautiful. I started out my design career 22 years ago in the visual design industry and always enjoyed bringing creative ideas to life. I always knew that my life’s passion would be in the field of design and acquired the distinction of RGD (Registered Graphic Designer) in 2014. RGD is a community hub that works to establish professional standards, best practices and innovative thinking within the design industry. I feel very fortunate to be born with a good design eye and becoming a creative designer was the obvious choice for me.

Throughout my extensive career as a visual designer, I developed a strong understanding of scale and proportion, the nuances of colour, and a in-depth knowledge of the creative process to create pleasing compositions. It was only natural that I want to apply these skills to interior home design that I feel is a union of beauty and functionality and can truly enhance the quality of peoples lives.

My interior design is mostly influenced by contemporary and vintage that I like to refer to as “cosmopolitan sophistication”. The look can speak to anyone who takes pleasure in being surrounded in tailored, formal glamour.  I feel a dramatic mix of contemporary pieces mingle well with classic furniture and makes a unique home living space. I enjoy creating a captivating design palettes for every project and I feel the design palette grounds me and keeps the design consistent, allowing me to gain an intimate knowledge of each design.

I take tremendous pride in my designs and enjoy continuing to refine my approach. It’s my belief that beauty makes the world a better place and leaves people feeling
calmer and happier. This is my motivation to keep improving and creating great work.

Let me help you create your own beautiful and unique living spaces.
