“I design every space around the most important element in the room — the people.”

For the past two decades, Michael’s keen eye for comfortable and livable design has seamlessly fused with his belief that a home should be designed to enhance life and lifestyle.

With a childhood spent in both New York and South Carolina, Michael Abrams knew one thing from a young age: thoughtful design — and the people both behind it and for whom it is created — can uplift the senses and inspire feelings of both nostalgia and sophistication. After receiving a Bachelor’s Degree of Fine Arts from the Art Institute of Chicago and a Master’s Degree in Architecture from the University of Illinois at Chicago, Michael went on to collaborate with some of the most well-respected brands and corporations in the world, such as Continental Bank, LaSalle Partners, Citibank and Goldman Sachs.

Informed by technical knowledge gained from years spent consulting on the design of corporate spaces, Michael went on to venture onto his own to refocus his craft on what truly drives his passion: the home. Residential interior design firm Michael Abrams Interiors was born, and for the past twenty years, the firm has created spaces that transcend the test of time and truly make each homeowner feel at peace in their space.

Michael Abrams has established himself and his firm as industry leaders at the forefront of syndicating architectural significance and interior design proficiency, but this expertise and standing goes well beyond stunning projects. Michael and his team effectively showcase design’s power to improve both individual spaces and the communities in which they reside through altruistic involvement at many levels and for multiple organizations, including Aspire, Cycle for Survival, Designs 4 Dignity and Heartland Health Outreach.
