Meet the Team
Michael has over 20 years interior design experience and established Harpers Interiors just over 15 years ago. Clients love his natural charm and easy manner. With a meticulous eye for detail, Michael loves creating stunning residential interiors with an authentic quality that reflect their owner. He also relishes the opportunity to indulge his creativity on commercial interior projects. Michael’s real skill however, lies in his ability to balance aesthetics and function without compromise; overseeing all of our design projects ensuring they fit the client brief whilst achieving our timeless signature look. When he isn’t sourcing new products, designing custom cabinetry, or meeting with clients, you will find him spending family time with his son boating on Lake Windermere.

With over 30 years experience creating beautiful interiors across Yorkshire, Lynne previously ran her own successful interior design business for many years. She enjoys getting to know her clients; working together to bring their personality to a scheme and because of this she has many loyal repeat customers who love her fun, no-nonsense approach. Lynne has impeccable taste and her designs are eclectic but whether classic or contemporary they are always timeless. Lynne is currently enjoying her retirement and spending time with her grandchildren. However, if you have worked with Lynne before and would like her to be involved in the initial consultation, she is still very much part of the Harpers family and has kindly offered to still join us for a coffee.
