More than thirty years ago, our story began in fine art. As a gallery dealer, our founder served discerning private collectors and corporations, cultivating significant collections, including one of the largest corporate art collections for USAA.
As clients sought the same level of taste and curation for their homes, our business naturally expanded beyond art. Handcrafted case goods from a small Scottish family in Santa Barbara led to fine furnishings, textiles, lighting, wallcoverings, carpeting, space planning, and architectural design.
Today, Christopher Michael Interiors in Lexington, Kentucky, designs complete residences from concept to final detail. Our team specifies and oversees every element of a home’s interior and exterior, complementing the architecture with exceptional furnishings and materials sourced worldwide.
We approach interior design with the eye of a fine art curator, composing spaces that balance simplicity with detail, function with beauty, and restraint with individuality.
This philosophy extends to custom cabinetry for kitchens, libraries, closets, built-ins, entertainment centers, and bars. It also inspired our stone-sourcing relationships and fabrication facility. Working directly with granite, marble, and quartzite, we create original countertops, bathrooms, flooring, accent walls, and fireplace surrounds while overseeing quality, execution, and exclusivity.
Our integrated approach protects each project’s creative integrity from start to finish. We remain intentionally selective, partnering with a limited number of discerning clients on exceptional homes that receive our complete attention.
