Homes Designed With Everything In Mind

At Anne Michaelsen Design we create homes that are both livable and enviable. From modernizing classic homes, to collaborating with you on a new build, we specialize in bringing elements together. We design the indoor and the outdoor spaces for a unified flow. We unify historical architecture with modernized interiors and technology. We merge timeless design with your unique personality. Spaces come alive. Your home feels equally live-able and elegant.

Our unique approach is why so many of our customers are repeat customers working on their second homes, vacation homes, or calling us back for a refresh a decade later. We prioritize the homeowners needs, lifestyle, and above all else, honor their desire for confidentiality.

Hi, I’m Anne

For more than three decades, I’ve collaborated with home owners, architects, and contractors to create dream homes that function and wow for my clients in Southern California, the Rocky Mountains, Hawaii and across the U.S.

I approach each home uniquely, factoring in the location, architecture, homeowner’s needs, homeowner’s vision in combination with my experience, education and vast design knowledge.

Homes are the center of our lives. As a designer, an entrepreneur, a wife and mother, my home is the center of it all and from which I’ve created this business and life that I love. That’s what I want for you, too.

From entertaining to family dinner to holidays to solitude, a thoughtful and well designed home is where it all begins.

Stop accepting cookie cutter designs. Stop accepting spaces that don’t function. Stop accepting poor quality materials or out-dated features. Stop waiting to live in a home that you love.

I can’t wait to design your dream home for you!

Sincerely, Anne

  • Anne guided us through our rebuild from the architectural stage through the final touches. She has impeccable taste, and is a delight to work with. She made what could have been a stressful process into an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Anne, and would hire her again in a heartbeat.

    —Karen P.

  • Anne evolved our track home in a master planned community to a custom dream, all while we remained on the east coast awaiting our corporate re-location move. Our project was completed within budget and on time, a rarity in any home improvement project. She is a true trusted advisor that took care of every detail from start to finish. We recommend Anne without hesitation.

    —Glenn E.

  • Anne is so creative, respecting our taste and coordinating everything. I LOVE her choices for fabric and ideas for the powder room. She is very aware of our budget, expects quality product and service from all of her vendors.

    —Ellen M.

  • Anne provides exquisite design work with timely execution. She offered a vision that came to life more beautifully than we could have ever imagined. Her ability to resolve any hurtle throughout the remodel created a seamless stress-free process for us as clients who are busy with work and children. Anne had a keen sense for our taste and delivered that with perfection.

    —Melinda S.

  • Anne works magic! She understands her clients needs, listens and works closely with all the trades to make her clients dream a reality. Anne knows how to gently push you out of your comfort zone to create an environment that is top notch! We have worked on three projects with Anne. The oldest being 10.5 years ago and it looks just as fabulous today as it did on installation day!

    —Pam E.

  • Currently working with Anne and her team on our rebuild of our 60 year old home in Corona Del Mar. Anne's taste is impeccable and balances our desire for a perfect home with our less than perfect budget. She has helped us with everything from finding the right architect and builder to selecting all the finishes. We couldn't do this project without her!

    —Shirley Q.
