Decorative Buying Services was founded by Michael Zarlin. A renowned designer with over 37 years experience. He has designed interiors for his clients throughout Florida and the United States. Michael has also worked on interior design projects for clients in Canada, Europe, Bahamas and Dubai.

With more interior design on TV & magazines, many consumers are better educated as to what they seek from their own projects. Many consumers do not need (or cannot afford) the full assistance of an interior designer. Yet these consumers would still like to gain access ‘To The Trade Only’ furnishings that they might find in magazines such as Architectural Digest, Veranda, and Florida Design.

Michael saw an opportunity to offer these consumers access ‘To The Trade Only’ items, by offering a buying service on their behalf. The consumer can gain access to designer products at a much lower price than before (and without the need to hire the full services of an interior designer).

Michael Zarlin offers other services for clients requirng more assistance on their projects. If you would like more information on our services, please contact us.

Michael Zarlin
Michael Zarlin brings to the world of design a multi-faceted talent burnished by an extensive creative background in residential design as well as visual merchandising, product design, and manufacturing.

Michael’s repertoire runs the gamut from a San Francisco penthouse to a Dallas mansion and a Palm Beach pied a terre as well as offices and showrooms.

With a deft touch and a critical eye Michael has created interiors that combine visual impact with a livability that reflect a self-assured finesse.

Extensive European travel has prompted his fondness for classic accessories and period artwork showcased against low key tailored backgrounds. Interesting table-top collections are a favorite of his.

Michael’s early industry experience in fine antiques is revealed in a penchant for one-of-a-kind accent pieces that stand on their own, Michael combines these elements to produce a sophisticated result with a subtle international flair.
