MICHELLE BURNETT
Interior Designer
Michelle qualified as an Interior Designer in the late 1990's and for almost twenty years she held senior positions at top design firms before founding Cush Interiors in 2017.
Michelle's area of expertise spans the whole house including interior architecture to reconfigure room layouts. With a passion for period homes, antiques and art, she sources unique pieces for her clients. Michelle is also a specialist high-end kitchen designer and includes custom designed joinery and furniture in all of her projects. Michelle puts quality and craftsmanship above trends to create timeless, refined interiors.
A lover of classic design, she seamlessly infuses meticulously restored antiques into her decor schemes. Michelle is an advocate of the adage 'do it once and do it right', encouraging her clients to hold off on a project until they have the funding to do it properly rather than settle for any compromises. This ties in with her sustainable values.
Having recovered from a serious spinal injury in 2011, and again in 2012, Michelle has an acute awareness and understanding of practical designs that incorporate ergonomic elements, with her clients comfort always at the forefront of her mind.
As well as a diploma in interior design, Michelle also holds a 1st Class Hons Degree in Communications (DCU), and a Masters in Creative Writing (UCD). She has spent 7 years lecturing on the BA Interior Architecture in Griffith College, and on the Interior Design Diploma programme in Portobello Institute. Her work has been featured on TV and in top publications.
