CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Michael Thomas and Michael Baker with the Design Collective Group did an incredible job helping us with the design and renovation of our Rancho Mirage home. While we had an idea of what we wanted to achieve, Michael Thomas offered creative ideas and various options which resulted in a finished product that exceeded our expectations. Working with DCG was a great experience.

Michael Thomas of Design Collective Group is the best. He has an uncanny knack for coming up with just what we wanted, even though we didn't know it. His use colors is amazing and always perfect for the situation. His ability to listen and then translate to ideas cannot be matched. We would highly recommend the Design Collective Group - they are the best!

Michael Thomas is by far the best designer we have ever worked with in my life. He doesn't just tell you what you should do or what would look good, he gives you the reason why with a systematical and logical approach. This way you feel safe with his recommendations and you don't feel like it is just guess work like other designers.

In 1996, after an extensive interview process, among many interior designers, Mr Michael Thomas and his company, the Design Collective Group were chosen to design and supervise the interior construction and purchasing of all fixtures and furnishings for our first home in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Subsequently two other residences, in Florida, were also put under his expert design control. Our choice in Mr Thomas proved to be an extremely fortunate experience. He and his staff were very knowledgeable, worked well with all of the contractors and other suppliers and embraced our ideas and addressed all of our concerns. All deadlines, administrative, financial and budgetary requirements were fulfilled to our satisfaction.
In 2002 we purchased a penthouse apartment in Fort Lee New Jersey, on the Hudson River, overlooking New York City. We were fortunate, in that, we were able to contract with Mr Thomas and the Design Collective Group to design and supervise the construction and purchasing of all furnishings, for what turned out to be, a most sophisticated and elegant "home in the sky". The entire project was, once again, completed timely, on budget and to our complete satisfaction. And now, we are ready to start a refresh of our NJ place and Michael and his firm will be the one to help us complete this work. Thanks For Your Great Ideas.

We have engaged the DCG and specifically, Michael Thomas, on four occasions over the last ten years. The projects were to help us with evaluating our new homes and getting ideas on how to make it really special in the way we live. He has done excellent designs to insure a unique place for us to live. His ideas are truly inspired! His creativity is wonderful! He has been able to give us tailored design plans at reasonable price. We so like his work that we have him execute the plans for us. He oversees a timely remodeling and finalization of the work. We are so pleased with Michael's designs and his attention to detail. Thank You.

We enjoyed working with the both Michael Thomas and Michael Baker of the Design Collective Group. They did just what we asked of them and more. We needed a theme and floor plan to get started on a vacant house. They provided many choices and great furniture ideas on our limited budget. We love the pieces we got from them.

My wife and I found Design Collective Group very creative, organized (surprising well organized compared with some of the firms I've worked with), cost conscience, and very easy to work with. We highly recommend the group.

We have been more than pleased with the interior design work Michael Thomas has completed for our two homes, one in Rancho Mirage and in Chicago. His attention to details and follow up has always impressed up and that's why he will be working on our third residence, starting with a big remodeling that Michael has planned, keeping our objectives in mind and of course our budget.

Michael Thomas provided the design and consultation for a complete master bath remodel. He was responsive, flexible and delightful. Among the challenges was a renegade contractor, but Michael professionally managed the situation with competent aplomb. I always felt I had a strong ally as well as a designer with a well-articulated sense of vision for the finished product. He was accessible 24/7 and even came in on budget. I would hire him again without hesitation.

In 2012, we were struggling with finding a design professional that would listen to us and help us make some important decisions... do we remodel or buy a new house. Michael Thomas, FASID helped both of us with strategies that made great design sense, especially about aging in place and assisting us with his knowledge about keeping people independent in their homes. We decided - with his guidance - to remodel the house and it was by far the best decision we could have made. We are indeed grateful for the time Michael spent with us in creating just the right kind of place we can remain in for a long time to come. Many thanks, Michael.

We are both very happy to have engaged Michael Thomas and the Design Collective Group for our second home on Jupiter Island, FL. Anybody knows that have ever built a home, there are a thousand answers that the builder will need to know. Michael took over where the architect left off, worked very closely with our builder and created two wonderful homes, one on the Intracoastal Waterway and our beach home on the Atlantic. The result is much more than we could have even anticipated and the interior reflects the kind of laid back lifestyle that we were looking for. And we are not just saying that. HG-TV came in and made a video about our place which shows just how very special our tropical retreat really is. We would hire Michael again and recommend his work to our friends and colleagues.
