KATE PECHINKA

PRINCIPAL DESIGNER | FOUNDER

My love for Interior Design originated from my love of homes, and my love for family. 

I have a long Philadelphia-area history of great grandparents and grandparents who raised their children in towns along the Main Line. Coming from a large family, it was a privilege to experience homes of different sizes and styles since as early as I can remember. Growing up in these homes shaped my sense of belonging, personal taste, and appreciation for place. 

Studying the arts is what inspires and informs my vision.

The dedication and drive to learn is something that I find so important in this creative field. Beyond earning a BA in Art History from Penn State University, and a MA in Architecture and Design from Drexel University, I have always enjoyed the discoveries that result when you commit to the research. Post academia, I have earned certificates from Sotheby’s Institute of Arts, and am an active member of the Institute of Classical Arts & Architecture. 


Living amongst the beauty of Southeastern Pennsylvania is a restorative experience.

My husband, two children and I live here in Chester Springs, with our Beagle, Hank. Having a deep appreciation for the area is what drives our passion for conservation, preservation, and support for our local businesses and organizations. 

  • “What stood out most was Kate's ability to truly listen and translate our ideas into a cohesive, elevated design that captured our desired aesthetic. She has a sharp eye for detail, a refined sense of style, and a gift for balancing aesthetics with practicality.”

  • "I have high standards for quality and execution and Kate exceeded them. Always professional, responsive, and thorough. Most importantly, she is a very talented designer and presented us with beautiful mood boards, layouts, and furniture options."

  • “Kate has truly turned our house into the forever home of our dreams.”

  • "Kate was able to produce a variety of vision boards that helped me narrow down my personal style and what I’d envision an ideal home would look like. We worked together through rounds of feedback and questions until we’d narrowed down the perfect collection for each room."

  • "From the first phone call with Kate, I was impressed with how she genuinely listened to the needs and ideas I had for our space and thoughtfully transformed those conversations into her design work."

  • "Working with Kate Kelly Interiors on a full redesign of our first floor exceeded our expectations in every way. From the very first meeting, Kate brought a thoughtful, collaborative approach that made the entire design process feel seamless and inspiring.”
