Kriste Michelini - Danville, California

As a custom residential builder focused on the Peninsula, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kriste Michelini on a few projects over the past 10 years, and her work has consistently been of the highest caliber. From a builder’s perspective, what stands out about Kriste is her clear communication and meticulous attention to detail. She has a unique ability to integrate her design vision with the practical needs of construction, ensuring that every project runs smoothly from start to finish.

Kriste’s designs are visually stunning and thoughtfully executed to enhance the functionality of the space. She approaches each project with a remarkably collaborative spirit, which makes working with her a truly fantastic experience. This is clearly reflected in the end product.

Kriste is also uniquely knowledgeable about the technical aspects of building, which is both a rare and invaluable trait in an interior designer. She consistently delivers on time and within budget, skillfully adapting to any changes that arise while keeping the project on track. I highly recommend Kriste Michelini Interiors to anyone looking for an interior designer that is a leader in her industry and a wonderful collaborator.

We recently completed an extensive, multi-year remodeling and decorating project with Kriste Michelini Interiors and couldn’t be happier with both the results and the overall experience.

Kriste and her team were collaborative, communicative, responsive and extremely organized. She was always clear and transparent about cost, availability, and timeline for every item we were interested in, which helped us plan and budget throughout the process.

Kriste listened to our ideas and priorities and developed them into something well beyond our dreams. Our home is not only gorgeous but also reflects our own personal style in the most elevated way.

Kriste’s energy, attentiveness and impeccable taste made her a dream to work with. It has been such a positive and fun experience to work with her that I'm actually looking for other design projects to involve her in!

As an art gallery owner, I have worked with over 200 interior designers in the Bay Area. Kriste Michelini and her team are amazing at what they do! They strike a great balance between listening to clients and also exposing them to new ideas. They are highly professional and customer service oriented. They have an amazing aesthetic and their projects are often in magazines. No detail is left behind. You are in great hands with the Kriste Michelini team!

Kristi was the interior designer for the total remodel of a very high end garden apartment in Pacific Heights ( we were the GC) and she was a great collaborator. She understood the mechanics of the project from the builder's point of view, as well as having a very elegant esthetic that enthralled the Homeowners. Her designs were very rewarding to accomplish for us and thrilling for the Homeowners to see developing and to see finished. She was a true partner with us, with the Homeowners, and with the Architect. The whole project went smoothly and efficiently and she was a big reason, because she was always prepared and able to adapt to changing conditions easily, while keeping the design concepts alive.

How I have loved Kriste Michelini and her team for a long time, whether I drop into their office or they visit our home, they have provided current and appreciated designs.

They have helped us shape our home into a comfortable "less is better” family nest.

Kriste has listened to what we think we want and helped us find the right pieces and design to make it happen. She has also been respectful of pieces we wish to keep.

Each room has had her touch, but the kitchen and family room have been the best of all. Simple, comfortable, and friendly would be our description.

I have appreciated that Kriste always wants to meet with us both so we are on board together. It works every time!

We want her back! There is always more to do to refresh our home! Don and Jean Schroeder

I have had the opportunity to know Kriste for almost 20 years as a friend, as a client and then as an employee of KMI. She is an amazing designer with the highest of standards on every project she touches. She is beyond creative and one of the most solution oriented people I have every met. There was never a design dilemma that she wouldn't try to solve and come up with a beautiful solution. She truly loves what she does and it shows in her work. I would highly recommend Kriste Michelini for her impeccable design knowledge and gorgeous style. She's the best!

Simply stated; Kriste Michelini and her team are the best! We have been fortunate enough to collaborate with Kriste on many remodeling projects in the Danville / Alamo area over the years. As a building contractor professional, I am constantly impressed with attention to detail Kriste and her staff put into their designs. Kriste Michelini Interiors is a "must" interview if choosing to work with an interior designer.
