Anja Michals
INTerior Design

Anja Michals Design is a full service design firm, specializing in residential interior design. Anja prioritizes streamlined spaces and lived-in comfort, infused with eclectic and thoughtful personalization.

Anja's approach to her design work is organic, with each and every project unique and tailored to her clients needs. Anja draws architecture, the bones of a home, and her client's specific lifestyle into her design inspiration, creating spaces that are meaningful and a reflection of the client in their best light.

At Anja Michals Design, functionality is as equally important as beauty which is why Anja designs spaces that are comfortable, inviting and have an understated beautiful statement.

Anja’s career started off in fashion, where after a decade of working in New York moved to California to launch her interior design business, which since 2014 has grown from strength to strength, servicing clients across Marin County, San Francisco, California, Washington and beyond.

With a studio and a small team based in the Bay Area, Anja believes collaboration is key, working seamlessly with architects, builders, sub-contractors and vendors to deliver successful client projects.
