Ask Kate, Q and A:
What are the benefits of hiring a full-service interior design firm such as Kate Kelly Interiors for my home project?
There are many benefits to hiring Kate Kelly Interiors for your project. Instead of listing each potential benefit individually, I’d like to simplify things. I’d like you to think about how much you would value your time and the peace of mind that comes from having a design professional guide you through vision boards, color, finish, and fabric selections, room layouts, furniture and lighting selections, window treatments, hardware selections, and so on. There are so many decisions that go into achieving a cohesive design that go way beyond “ordering what you like and having it delivered.” For no fault of their own, many people simply do not account for these complexities. Life is busy and your time is precious.
At Kate Kelly Interiors, we create value for our clients by taking the execution of the design off of their hands, and leaving them to enjoy all of the fun parts! Our clients find comfort knowing their project is being handled confidently, correctly, and professionally from the very start, and that we never call a project “finished” unless our client is completely satisfied with the result.
Are there interior designers who specialize in both renovations and furnishings?
At Kate Kelly Interiors we specialize in both! There are designers that prefer to focus on the interior architecture, new home builds, and large scale renovations, while on another end of the spectrum there are designers who prefer to specialize solely in decoration, bespoke furniture, and window treatments. When you work with Kate Kelly Interiors, you are choosing a professional in all areas to achieve the vision you have been dreaming of. We leverage our skills and expertise to create value for our clients by being deeply invested and involved in all areas of design to create a cohesive vision for both the new and existing. We are also committed to providing our clients with superior quality trade-only furnishing offerings that exemplify the art of fine craftsmanship.
How can I ensure an Interior Designer understands my personal style and vision?
Get comfortable with providing direct and honest ideas and feedback. As an interior designer who is putting a client’s vision together, we need to hear all of it, and nothing offends! I work with individuals who are at all different phases of discovering their own style. Some are confident in expressing exactly what they are looking for, and others are earlier on in their self-discovery process. By truly getting to know the client and learning about the people, places, and life experiences that are meaningful to them, it helps to demystify what inspires them.
Together, we’ll put the pieces together in a sequence that has proven effective and delivered exceptional results for my clients time and time again.
What should I look for when choosing a residential interior design firm?
Choose the firm that makes you feel good; good about feeling seen, heard, and understood. Throughout the design process, clients benefit most when they feel like they have an ally, advocate, and professional guide at each phase.
Check the firm/designer’s reviews and credentials. Do they have the specialized background to deliver what you are asking of them? Do they have certifications that are important to you and your project?
As the Principal Designer, I have the academic and professional acumen to deliver your vision on time, and in a way that exceeds your expectations. At Kate Kelly Interiors, we pride ourselves on the client experience, building connection, a creating a sense of belonging for our clients through personalized interior design.
