At KGB Interior Design we strive to create beautiful environments for our clients. We want beauty to be more than skin deep. Each project is carefully tailored to the client’s needs. Lifestyle, location, budget, likes and habits, pets, entertaining styles, climate, multiple use, & environmental impact are just some of the details considered. We are involved in projects large and small, from the new construction of large homes, to kitchen redesign and remodel, to custom furniture design, to the re-upholstery of a beloved chair.

We are an integral member of the design team, usually from a project’s inception. Our clients value our ability to create environments which address their particular needs and interests. We are often the closest liaison to our clients in the design process: planning spaces based on use. We attend to the details which ensure a well designed environment which is also a personalized, unique home.
