Michael was an instrumental piece of the team that helped build our dream home. He was with us from the start and helped all the way through the process. The breadth of his knowledge and experience in the design/build space helped our family turn our dream into reality. He worked with us and our architect to develop our floor plan in a way that made sense for our family and how we would use each space. He learned about our tastes and preference and would go to stores well in advance to narrow down choices for things like tile, lights, and floor coverings so that when we went with him all we needed to do was choose from a few carefully selected options. As a result of this process our entire house has a flow and feel that makes sense. Without him I would not have some of the design features that are my very favorites. He helped keep everything on schedule which I know our builder appreciated as they were never waiting for things to arrive. I highly recommend Michael and Michael Valvo Designs!

Michael Valvo is an excellent professional designer. Over the years, we have successfully collaborated on dozens of projects and can not say enough great things about him personally and his work. He has vast knowledge of both design finishes and general construction. I would highly recommend Michael Valvo Designs!

I have been working with Michael as a consultant on my project. He has been an immeasurable help throughout this process. Whereas I am timid and afraid, he is bold an brave and has given me the confidence to make design decisions I might otherwise have taken months to make. I completely trust his suggestions and advice and would highly recommend Michael’s design services.

Comment from Michael Valvo Designs:

Thank you so much you both are the best. Your space is special and the coloring is lovely.

Michael Valvo is an interior design with panache and a drive to exceed expectations. I am an architect. Michael worked with us on a team submittal to a large $5M re-branding proposal project. There was a lot of visioning and conceptual brainstorming during this project and Michael was a valued asset. He brought great ideas and a sense of savvy discipline to the questions we raised regarding setting a design tone and a "fit". His presentations were lively and spirited but also grounded in his experience which we found to be stabilizing. I would heartily recommend Red M Studio to future clients.

Red M Studio has been my go to design professional for many years. Michael Valvo possesses impeccable and exquisite taste. He is a gifted designer and he consistently creates the visions he knows will suit my tastes. He is also very resourceful with keeping me in budget! It’s always a pleasure to work with him.

Working with you has always been a pleasure. Your new home is going to be a springboard for you and your new life.

Mike has worked with my partner and I to set up visual displays and vignettes in our design business to help draw more business and inspire our shopping clients. Mike's work is always inspired and fresh. The looks he pulls together for home and garden are sophisticated and fun. We love collaborating with Mike Valvo, he's a great designer with a fabulous eye and great sense of style.

You are also a pleasure. It is rare to work with someone with a desire to create beauty like you.

John Michael Kennedy

Michael Valvo's Red M Studio is quite simply a magical place, guided by a talented, smart, gregarious and professional principal. I would highly recommend Red M to anyone who's thinking about a change, whether major overhaul or just a seasonal update. I certainly learned a lot from Michael and have taken his advice with me, applying it to new homes and when shopping for new items.

Working with you on the Donor Project was a blast and super creative.

Mike Valvo was our decorator when we moved into our co-op apartment in Cambridge. He was most helpful in determining which pieces of furniture we could keep and picked our all the fabrics for the recovering of the furniture. We used the people he recommended to do the upholstery and slip-covering of the furniture. His work has stood up for years. We couldn't be more satisfied. Mike was also very easy to work with, always prompt, respectful of our needs and taste. I recommend him completely.

Thank you for helping bring slipcovers back. Now you have two looks.

Michael has been working with us for over a year. He has spent a lot of time determining what both my husband and I like together as well as what works in our space and for our lives. Everything he has done has been fantastic - from color selection to furniture, lighting. etc. We will continue to work with him as we proceed with improvements to our home. What was initially a very daunting prospect, Michael has facilitated to something enjoyable. He has brought down the fear factor and also open us up to ideas we never would have imagined. He is a master and we completely recommend him for any project, big, small, inside and out and in between!

Michael is an artist and works brilliantly with ideas and concepts. I wanted to make our mid-century home friendly, accessible, and not an effete showcase. He truly responded to our needs and created an open concept that is historically accurate, up to date, and relaxed. We love our new home! Michael engaged us like no other designer we know.
