Meet Michelle

Interior design has been a life-long passion for Michelle Rohrer-Lauer, the award-winning founder of Michelle’s Interiors. She has dedicated her career to creating extraordinary lifestyles through luxury home design.

A graduate of the design program at Gateway Technical College, Wisconsin, Michelle has an innate sense of style and a conviction that each home should embrace the spirit of the people who live there.

Her inspiration begins with her clients’ personal stories, but she draws on decades of experience
working with the essential tools of design: color, texture, scale, function and most of all, creativity.

Function before form.

Michelle believes that the best spaces can transform you. Her aesthetic is inspired by  fashion, architecture, luxury automobiles and the history she discovers during her travels here and abroad.

Learn more about Michelle

I love luxury cars. They remind me of a custom home where the exterior design draws you inside. When you sit in a finely engineered car, the seat hugs your body. The controls are within easy reach. The details and tailoring are superb, and you don’t hear outside noise. It seamlessly combines beauty and purpose, like a professionally designed home.

She is dedicated to connecting her clients to sensible, eco-friendly interior design solutions, such as sustainably harvested and fast-growing woods for furniture, natural wood alternatives, natural fabrics, water-based finishes and much more.

Michelle is known for her energy, creativity, attention to detail and talent for making each home perfectly fit the people who live there.

Michelle has a terrific eye for design and applies it towards reflecting the the client's own style and personality. I made a big investment in my residence and wanted it to feel like 'my home'. Michelle and her team were patient and collaborative enough to go through multiple revisions until we found the solutions that were just right. By the end of our project they were making suggestions to me that helped push the boundaries and make choices such that I feel excited every time I walk in the door. What more can you ask for from a design team? Highly recommended.

We worked with Michelle on a condo in Chicago. She was very attentive to our needs and requests and made our home away from home very warm and comfortable. Michelle is very personable and easy to work with. We liked her ideas so much we are looking forward to working with her on our new home in Texas.

My experience with Michelle's Interiors was amazing! We started with my master suite in my suburban Chicago home, which was spectacular! Due to Michelle and her staff's professionalism and the beautiful result in the Master suite, I moved on to finishing the entire lower level. From the cabinetry, to fabrics, to the stair case to every detail it was perfect! My lower level was transformed into a wonderful Tuscan pub, media room and game room that was enjoyed thoroughly by my family and all of our friends. Of course then we moved on to "touch up" a few rooms on the first floor, adding Michelle's magic to my kitchen, office and great room. To say the Great room 2 story fireplace is magnificent is a gross understatement. I also engaged Michelle to assist in the design of my home in Florida, providing me with full electrical schematic and furniture placement. To list the attributes of Michelle, her staff and any contractor she provides, every person is professional, highly skilled, polite, trustworthy and treats you and your home with the utmost respect. In a word "perfect!". (Note that my projects began in 2004 and continued through 2009)

The interior designers at Michelle's Interiors have a wide range of style abilities and deliver a contemporary twist with a unique ability to create something special for the client's home. They often use custom furnishings that add a distinctive touch. They are highly motivated designers who have a fabulous eye for color, scale and harmony. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a very special room or are needing direction in a remodeling or new build project. I enjoy working with Michelle, Erika and Kelsey!

Michelle is great to work with. She has done the majority of decorating and furniture suggestions/purchases for our house in Wisconsin. Even when we find something ourselves that we think might work we run it by her first for a professional opinion. She designed, and managed the installation of custom windows treatments and power operated shades at our Wisconsin house. They look fantastic, and help tremendously with Sun and temperature fluctuations. She is easy to work with, and flexible in decisions.
