Whether the home is an historic townhouse or a contemporary loft, Carter and Company is well known for its classic approach to interior design. The finished look is personal and relates to the client's own sense of style, but with Michael Carter's guiding influence – the aim always being for timeless design. Confident and comfortable mixing the old with the new, Carter brings his love of great architecture and rooms with "good bones" into all his projects, where his strong background in period antiques often influences his design selections. A lifelong devotee of the great masters of interior design like Billy Baldwin and Mark Hampton, Carter displays in his own work a refined sense of appropriateness and sophistication regardless of the style.

Based in the heart of Boston's Back Bay on Newbury Street, Carter & Company has projects that range in location from the Back Bay, Beacon Hill and the South End to neighboring Brookline and Chestnut Hill, and even further afield to Nantucket and New York City. The firm's work has been featured in numerous publications including the book Spectacular Homes of New England (cover), InStyle Magazine, Design New England, New England Home Magazine, and Traditional Home Magazine, including the cover feature for November 2010.
