Designed for how it feels to live.

Michelle Taylor Interiors & Home is a full-service interior design practice and product house in Austin, Texas. Every room we design and every object we make is built for the nervous system first — through the Sensory Living Method™.

Begin Your Project
Interior view of a modern, open-concept kitchen and living room. The kitchen features white cabinetry, a large marble island, and hanging pendant lights. The living room has a gray sofa with furry and checkered pillows and a wooden coffee table. Artwork on the wall depicts a person with a shaved head and tattoos.

A framed painting of a deer on a wooden accent wall. Black chairs, a desk with a computer, and potted plants are visible.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Michelle Taylor Interiors & Home, we believe a home should do more than look beautiful. It should support the way you live, settle the nervous system, and feel intentional in every detail.

Beauty is not only visual. It is biological, sensory, and experiential.

This belief is the foundation of our work and informs every decision we make.

Ground

A living room with a round table decorated with various decorative items, including a large brass bowl, candles, and small figurines. A modern chandelier hangs above, and a wire basket of rolled towels is placed nearby. Sunlight filters through windows with white curtains.

Light

Texture

A bedroom with a bed that has a headboard against a wooden slatted wall. The bed is decorated with beige and green pillows, including a colorful embroidered pillow with tropical and animal designs. On either side of the bed, there are matching nightstands with white lamps. In front of the bed, a tray with a metal ring is visible at the foot of the bed.

Rhythm

The Sensory Living Method™

Every project is guided by the Sensory Living Method™. A four-pillar framework built on established research in polyvagal theory, circadian science, neuroaesthetics, and the principles of slow living.

The Sensory Living Method™ is a proprietary methodology developed by Michelle Taylor through decades of design practice and guided by science.

Our Founder

Michelle Taylor designs for the nervous system first. Twenty years of practice taught her that a room is felt before it is seen — in the give of a floor, the warmth of the light at dusk, the weight of wool under the hand, the pause between one space and the next. The Sensory Living Method™ is that instinct written down: Ground, Light, Texture and Rhythm, applied to every decision.

Every project begins from one belief: the best homes are the ones that feel as good as they look.
