After countless months and many unsuccessful hours researching and browsing furniture stores we turned to Designed Interiors for some professional help.

After our first meeting, it was clear that we had chosen the perfect designers to help us turn our old, outdated family room, dining area and kitchen into a fresh, cozy and beautiful place to relax and entertain family and friends. Kathy and Julie are so very creative, talented and gifted in what they do. They really listen to what you want and magically, can get an instant feel for your vision, what you like, how you live, etc. Kathy’s excitement for her work and her energy are so contagious. Kathy and Julie took us from the initial planning session all the way through the ordering of everything and installation. Kathy doesn’t miss a single detail. She and Julie helped us choose paint colors, carpet, furniture, window coverings and accessories.

Everyone who works at Designed Interiors has a passion for what they do and it shows. We worked closely with Kathy, Julie, and Barb but we were so impressed with the professionalism of the whole team at Designed Interiors. Communication is excellent with this talented group. You can always reach Kathy or Julie by phone and our emails were answered promptly. Barb keeps everything running smoothly and juggles the whole team effortlessly. My husband and I loved every minute that we worked with this company.

We can’t say enough about Kathy and her team. We are absolutely thrilled with the job they did in turning a plain, outdated home into a breathtakingly beautiful place. This is now our favorite area of our home to hang out in. We could not be any happier. They did such a wonderful job of staying within our budget and pulling together all three rooms and making them blend perfectly.

We absolutely love our new family room/kitchen area. Every time we have family or friends over, they cannot believe the transformation and they love it! We would not hesitate to recommend this group of talented people for any redecorating needs or projects. We are already looking forward to working with them again!

After coming out to my house to review the project, I, then, had about 4 or 5 meetings with them at their studio to choose furniture, fabrics, wall coverings, etc.This turned out to be very pleasant and efficient. She has a huge collection of fabric samples and we ordered furniture from catologs from her trusted retailers. This was so much better than tromping through stores. The choices were so much better and the quality was superb.
My furniture was stored for a year because of delays with other projects not having to do with the designer. We were never charged or pressured and the furniture came undamaged.
Kathy and Julie installed the furniture and window coverings and added accesories without me there. I had difficulty giving up control but it was ultimately so nice to walk into my house and have it all done. I was definitely awed by the transformation. One vendor said that I had completely flipped my house.

Working with Kathy and her team was great from the very beginning. Every one is genuinely passionate about getting the client's project done to their satisfaction. Whenever we had questions or concerns, Kathy or one of her staff were available to address them and we always got our questions answered. They really do guarantee satisfaction. Kathy is highly skilled in her art and has a beautiful sense of style, and it's clear she loves what she is doing. She knows exactly what a room needs to make it special and when she accessories our room, she brought a truck loaded with special pieces to suit our tastes. We thoroughly enjoy our great room; it is our most favorite room in the house now. We look forward to working with Kathy and her team in the near future as we decorate the rest of our house. I highly recommend Designed Interiors; they are professional, highly skilled, dedicated, and provide terrific service. A wonderful experience.
