Hello and a warm welcome. I’m Kayla. I design homes that people love creating in, nurturing in, and living life in.

For busy families, a home isn’t just something to finish — it’s something to live inside of. It’s where routines happen, where relationships grow, where children and pets take up space, and where life needs to feel supported rather than managed.

My work is about creating homes that feel good to live in every day — not just on reveal day.

My Portfolio

Who This Is For

This service is designed for you if:

  • You’re a busy family with real life happening at home

  • You value function just as much as beauty

  • You want spaces that work and bring joy for:

    • adults

    • kids

    • pets

    • the family as a whole

  • You’re ready to invest properly instead of fixing things later

  • You want one clear plan and one complete install

Who This Is Not For

This is not a DIY service, styling-only package, or furniture shopping help.

I’m not the right fit if you:

  • want to manage installs yourself

  • are looking for piecemeal updates

  • need to stay under tight, furniture-only budgets

  • enjoy constant design decisions and revisions

This is professional, high-quality, start-to-finish interior design.

My Design Philosophy

Homes should support the whole household.

I design family-functional layouts that bring joy, ease, and flow to:

  • daily routines

  • shared spaces

  • quiet spaces

  • couples

  • children

  • pets and animal companions

  • the family as a whole

Every room is planned to work together — so your home feels cohesive, complete, and calm instead of constantly “getting there.”

How Projects Are Structured

✔ All-At-Once Installation

No drawn-out phases.
No living in chaos for months.

Once the design is approved, everything is installed in one coordinated install window.

✔ Typical Project Timeline

  • Design Phase: ~1–3 weeks depending on number of rooms

  • Procurement & Scheduling: typically 8-12 weeks

  • Installation: all at once, professionally managed - I try to keep this in a 1-3 day window.

Timelines vary slightly by project size, but the goal is always the same:
design once → install once → live fully.

My Pricing & Payment Process

I work on a simple three-payment structure.

Step 1: Book Your Consultation - $2,500

You begin by booking a consultation which is $2,500. If you choose to book your project, the $2,500 consultation fee will be waived and applied to your design fee.

Step 2: Book Your Project

and pay an estimated 20% design fee based on the rooms you plan to complete. This pricing is listed on this page below.

The design fee covers:

  • layouts and spatial planning

  • sourcing and selections

  • budget planning

  • documentation and coordination

If the room estimates shift once designs are finalized, any difference (up or down) is applied to the final balance.

Step 3: Final Payment After Design Approval

Once the design is approved, you pay the remaining balance. Then, all items are ordered and arranged for Installation Day.

Only three payments total for the entire project.

Room-by-Room Interior Design Budgets

  • removes constant decision fatigue

  • allows your home to feel done, not perpetually “almost there”

  • truly creates a home you and your family can love living in
