If you want a design that feels pulled together and beautifully finished...

you need someone who has expertise in color.

An interior designer with an extensive background as a professional artist, Michelle Woolley Sauter is also a color expert who specializes in dynamic spaces where modern and traditional play off of each other to create unique design solutions that feel one of a kind. By combining layers of both old and new, her spaces come together organically in a stylish and exciting, yet livable way. Because, at the end of the day, people want to live in something beautiful, and it has to belong to the client, first and foremost. Michelle draws inspiration from her many years spent living on the coast up and down the Eastern Seaboard, in addition to finding inspiration from her travels with her husband and their Mini Goldendoodle named Charleston (aka “Charlie”)!

'I felt a bit stuck and Michelle gave me so many wonderful ideas! She selected new furniture and changes the arrangement of other pieces to work better in me rooms. She helped with new paint colors, lighting, hardware, fabrics and the best of all, I selected some of her artwork to hang! She pulled everything together seamlessly and we couldn't be happier in our 'new' home! Highly recommend!'

'I booked the initial consult with Michelle and she gave me so many ideas. Then I had her select new furniture and decor for my entire downstairs! Michelle and the team also selected new lighting and accessories to put the finishing touches on rooms I knew needed attention! Everyone who comes over now tells me how beautiful my designed home is...she truly captured our style! Michelle stayed within my budget and my husband is thrilled with how our home looks now!

I'm an "inside the box" kind of person, but Michelle was able to help me see her vision, and think outside the box, which was a feat in itself! Her suggestions[...] blew my mind No matter what I want to change in my home, I am more than happy to write the check to Michelle...she's worth it!!!

'Since we wouldn't be moving into our new home for several months and lived 1000 miles away, I didn't think it would be possible to get our new home furnished and decorated the way I "envisioned". Michelle was able to take my cryptic descriptions and produced a home that felt like home the moment I saw it several months later. Her attention to detail is incredible! Her ability to place the right furniture pieces that fit perfectly and made each room look spacious was amazing. Sometimes I have to pinch myself that I live here! Very, very pleased and would have her work on all my projects...no matter where they are located!'

I reached out to One Coast Design for an interior design consultation for my new home here in Summerville, SC. I was transitioning to a new chapter and needed a fresh outlook on life. Our consultation was great and Michelle implemented so many ideas on how to make my home the updated entertainment space that I wanted. Everyone that visits is so impressed... In fact, since it has been such a successful venture, I'm now working on a future kitchen redesign with her! Michelle and her team have been so helpful and communicative. I highly recommend One Coast Design!
