Kelly’s design services were well worth the money!

Kelly’s design was a critical piece of our renovation. We turned our galley kitchen, dining room and family room into an open concept space. Initially, we were stumped by several trouble spots, and we didn’t agree about the best solution. Kelly’s vision made all the difference!

She listened to us, but also helped us to see things we hadn’t thought of. She inspired us to keep and work with our existing floors and fireplace brick, which was a huge savings. Her “as much or as little help as you would like” mojo is the real deal. We took her renderings to our contractor and he took it from there.

Knowing that Kelly was available with referrals or to consult on finishes was reassuring. We are thoroughly enjoying our space! I’m grateful we chose to work with Kelly every time I watch TV while cooking at my stove and walk into my massive pantry and swivel in my recliner from watching TV to looking out the window. Kelly’s design services were well worth the money!

… Understood my style goal and kept me focused.

Kelly Brasch is the best! I knocked down my 70’s Ranch and rebuilt it with a 2nd floor dormer. Kelly was an integral part of that process. She understood my style goal and she kept me focused and on track. She helped me with space planning, furniture placement, finish choices, window coverings etc. She is prompt, professional, fair and best of all FUN. If I win the lottery and do this again I would rehire Kelly in a minute.

…Design came out amazing and we couldn’t be happier

We love Kelly! She did a great job designing our master bathroom remodel. She is willing to help as much or as little as you need. She is extremely flexible whereas other designers want to control the whole project and sourcing of materials. We really appreciated her flexibility and input on each step of the project. Her design came out amazing and we couldn’t be happier with it. Kelly’s communication was also excellent and you can always expect a response within a fairly short amount of time.

I would highly recommend Kelly for any design projects!

…Has many great resources and her advice always was so helpful

We cannot say enough good things about working with Kelly B! I was nervous about using an interior designer-would she understand my vision?; would she work well with me?; would she work within our budget? Yes, Yes and Yes!

After doing upgrades on windows, trim, paint and carpet, I was overwhelmed with other improvements that were needed- window treatments and a revamp of living room, dining room. Kelly was great to communicate with, being timely in her correspondence and easy to talk to. She was willing to work within my parameters; will do as much or little as you desire. She is also cognizant of the budget you tell her (even dissuading me from an expensive purchase that she didn’t believe would look best–SO glad I listened to her!)

Kelly is very knowledgeable, has many great resources and her advice always was so helpful and spot on. My husband and I both enjoyed working with her and love, love, love the improvements in our home. I am sure we will be turning to her for more advice in the future! Thanks, Kelly!!

…it was on budget!

Interior design isn’t at the top of my fun list, but I really enjoy working with Kelly. She’s very easy to work with and at no time did I feel rushed or pushed off to the side. She took the time to understand my taste and worked with me to help purchase all of the furniture for our new home; quite an accomplishment given that we were moving from a small condo to a fairly large house. She selected pieces that were comfortable and timeless, both of which were very important to me. I especially liked the fact that she did most (okay, just about all) of the leg work and sent me the links so I could make my decisions from the comfort of my own home. What would’ve taken me well over a year to do on my own was done in just a few short months. And, it was on budget! That was over a year ago and I’ve already called her back twice to help with changing one guest room into a nursery and the other into my office.

…a beautiful and welcoming space

Wrapping up my first project with Kelly Brasch and I don’t feel like I live in the same house! She has transformed our first floor into a beautiful and welcoming space for family and guests. She worked tirelessly to find the right pieces and accessories that matched my vision and my budget. But she had many ideas I never even thought of and it was so fun to watch the space evolve! I highly recommend her services.

…has great taste, and stays within budget

Kelly’s professionalism and enthusiasm are top notch. She is always on time, meets wherever you need her, knows what we like, has great taste, and stays within budget. Kelly can assist with anything for your home. i.e…paint colors, accessories, rugs, cabinet pulls, light fixtures, drapes, countertops, and furniture. I highly recommend Kelly to help you with anything for your home. She is the BEST!!

…we trust implicitly and would highly recommend.

Kelly Brasch is an amazing interior designer whom we trust implicitly and would highly recommend. She has led several projects for us with the most significant being a full redesign of our kitchen which was completed in May of 2019. She asked a lot of questions to ensure she had a full understanding of what we were trying to accomplish and what was most important to us from a design perspective. My husband and I have similar styles but also some differences, so she spent the right amount of time to ensure that her design would meet or exceed both of our expectations. She also shared different concepts with us to stimulate ideas and listened carefully to our feedback. She went with us to select our cabinets, counter tops and back splash and her insights were invaluable to our selection process. She stayed in touch with us throughout the project and was always there to answer questions or provide her feedback on the detail as the installers were doing their work. She provided input into all of the accessory details including the stools for our island, lighting and area rugs to ensure everything flowed together just beautifully. In the end, she designed an absolutely gorgeous kitchen that our family loves! Kelly is also a joy to work with and makes a complex process so easy. Her pricing is so reasonable given the expertise, insights and support that she brings to the project. The other projects that she has done for us include selecting a paint color for our sunroom, designing a family picture wall collage and designing a new set of Christmas decorations for our home. Kelly is absolutely amazing and we will not make any major home renovation decision or design without her by our side!

…I saved money and time by working with Kelly

Kelly is creative, talented, and well-versed on all the latest trends (but doesn’t push “trendy” when it doesn’t fit the situation.) She listens intently to what you want and don’t want and if you don’t really know, like me, she asks a lot of great questions to help you get there. She was mindful of my functional needs, style, and budget, always giving me 2-3 options that made sense but ultimately giving me the ability to choose. I know I saved money and time by working with Kelly and she made it fun, even when it stressed me out. Working with Kelly is a decision you will be happy you made!

…she was enthusiastic and professional

I called several Interior Designers and none of them were interested in working with me on my master bedroom/bathroom remodel. I called Kelly and from the very start she was enthusiastic and professional. I had never used an interior designer, so she was very easy on me. She walked me through choices in tile, finishes, paint, cabinetry, fixtures, bedding and accent pieces. I still cannot believe how beautiful my bathroom and bedroom turned out. I get so many compliments! She also found me a general contractor who showed up and completed the job when he said he would. Kelly was awesome!

Kelly was so patient and understanding…

Having never worked with a designer before, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I’m so glad I decided to give it a try! Kelly was so patient and understanding with my needs and wants. She put together a plan that was perfect for me and incorporated my favorite piece of artwork. Together we picked out the furniture, fabrics, lighting, window treatments and paint colors. I’m so happy I decided to work with Kelly on my living room because I never would have been able to achieve such a fabulous outcome on my own. I highly recommend Kelly for any home designing project you may have – she’s great!

I would recommend her to anyone…

I’ve always wanted to spruce things up around my house, but with no time to shop and not quite sure what I needed, I decided to call Kelly for some help. She came over, took a look around, and had some great ideas right away. The next time we met, she came with so many beautiful accessories and skillfully placed the items throughout my kitchen, family room, and dining room. It made a huge difference in updating the main level in my home! I only paid for the items I kept, which was almost everything she picked out, and only the price she was charged at the store – no markups on retail purchases! I would recommend her to anyone and will use her again when we redo our basement.

…I am extremely happy with the results!

Recently, I purchased a new home and did not know where to begin when it came time to select paint colors. Kelly had been recommended to me by a very good friend. I’m so happy that I followed my friend’s suggestion to call her!  Kelly was extremely easy to work with and offered several suggestions.  The large color samples that Kelly provided to me were very helpful!!!  With Kelly’s help I was able to coordinate my house colors, and I am extremely happy with the results!  I will definitely recommend Kelly to my friends!

…I love it all, and my family loves it too!

Thank you for your wonderful help in decorating our living room, dining room, and the smaller changes you made to the family room.  As you know, the two living room chairs presented a challenge for space and they are exactly what I was looking for, but could not find on my own. You color coordinated the furniture, silk drapes, end tables, lamps, and large picture over the sofa just beautifully. The colors flow so nice to the changes made in the dining room. I love it all, and my family loves it too! You were terrific to work with – the way you listened to my ideas, kept everything on track, and did not settle for anything less. I look forward to working with you in the future and have already recommended you to two of my friends. Thank you, Kelly!

…I couldn’t be happier!

Kelly skillfully transformed our junk room basement into a beautiful space I love to show off and relax in with company. Before meeting with her, I was overwhelmed with the strange configuration and amount of furniture needed to pull the space together. Once I got Kelly involved, the project flowed effortlessly. She has a great eye for laying out a room, and there are no surprises after she draws out her plans. Kelly takes every stage of the project and owns it. Staying on budget and providing a detailed account of her time on the invoice is something I greatly appreciate, too. She has done many rooms in my house and I couldn’t be happier!

…highly talented individual with excellent taste.

“Love the light fixtures.” “Who is the artist of that painting? It’s perfect on that wall and makes the bathroom.”  This is just a sampling of the many compliments we received after Kelly gave an updated look to our kitchen and powder room. After seeing her work her magic at our daughter’s home, we knew we wanted her to do the same for us.  She is a highly talented individual with excellent taste.  Kelly pulled everything together with her eye for color and accessorizing.  We would recommend her without hesitation and are looking forward to working with her again on our next project.

…Kelly is ready for the challenge.

I have used Kelly Brasch Interiors for two major projects. One being a new bathroom, and one being my master bedroom and bath. For both projects, she listened, asked me questions, and then brought back samples for me to look at and choose. Every time, Kelly was able to find just the right colors, styles, and patterns that I had in mind, while also introducing me to the latest trends so that I could make an informed, unpressured decision. I would highly recommend Kelly for advice on any interior project. Whether it is a room that just needs some new colors, or a brand new basement bathroom, Kelly is ready for the challenge.

…I felt a heavy burden lifted

Seeking help from a professional interior decorator was about the smartest thing my wife and I have ever done. We don’t exactly have the trained eye it takes to decorate a home. Over the years we were fooling ourselves trying to decorate on our own. Ultimately, I realized that we wasted several thousand dollars on countless pieces of furniture that just didn’t give us the look we wanted. The day finally came when we sought the help of Kelly Brasch Interiors, and I felt a heavy burden lifted off my back.

Kelly’s knowledge and understanding of what we wanted our home to look like was outstanding. She has such a knack for working with both husband and wife to find the perfect compromise. This resulted in transforming our run of the mill home into a magazine show piece. Kelly is extremely passionate about what she does. You can tell because she is always smiling and overflowing with confidence, which is precisely what puts us at ease. We get nothing but compliments whenever company comes over, and that’s the ultimate reward we were looking for. We highly recommend Kelly’s work, and if you want a true testimonial we are offering paid tours of our home on the weekend (ha ha)!

Kelly first listened and understood my desires. She has a great eye for color and style and kept me from making some big mistakes in the home I was building. I would highly recommend her services.

…extremely talented at listening carefully and patiently

Kelly Brasch Interiors is who you need to contact for your next project. I used KBI for my family room, living room, entry hall and mudroom space designs, as well as paint selection for my entire first and second floors and basement of a newly renovated 4BR ~3500K sq ft home. From window treatments to accessories to bring it all together, Kelly did it all. Kelly proved she is extremely talented at listening carefully and patiently to what you want to accomplish and then exploring and finding options to meet your desires without breaking the bank.

Depending on your taste, she’s gifted at taking the design to the level you wish. Moreover, Kelly will confidently and brilliantly execute on the option you select to create new spaces that delight and fulfill dreams you may not have even realized you had! Kelly sets the bar for professionalism and creativity. She is reliable and impeccable with details – for the design side and business side of the project. She is prompt and thorough. Kelly Brasch will not disappoint.

…I highly recommend Kelly.

Working with Kelly has been wonderful. She has helped me with paint colors, furniture choices and arrangement, light fixtures and accessories. She was honest in her opinions on what worked in my home and what did not. Kelly has pointed out things that she didn’t think needed to be changed which is a great help when moving into a house. I worked with Kelly 5 yrs ago and was happy to call her again for my current project. I highly recommend Kelly.

…my favorite room in the house.

I hired Kelly Brasch Interiors to help me with our Sunroom. I wanted it to be functional yet a peaceful getaway. Kelly had many helpful suggestions with paint color, furniture, and decorations to add that special touch. She was extremely professional. Needless to say, the sunroom is my favorite room in the house. Thanks Kelly!

…she went above and beyond

Kelly helped my husband and I completely redesign our office and dining room at our new home. These rooms had been empty and while we had ideas of what we wanted to do, Kelly helped us define those in realistic terms and find the pieces to bring our vision to life. She was so easy to work with and we were able to combine both in person meetings with virtual to offer us the flexibility we needed within our busy schedules. Her eye for detail shows in our rooms which look like they came out of a magazine. From the big pieces that were exactly what we envisioned in our minds, to the accent pieces that I never would have thought to add on my own, she went above and beyond to help us create unique and spectacular spaces.

…very pleased with the end result!

Kelly helped us with our new construction home, selecting tile, granite, paint colors, carpeting, furniture/layout, and pulling it all together. She was absolutely terrific to work with! Very professional and knowledgeable. Her guidance throughout the selection process really helped us keep in line with the overall look that we were going for. Very subtle in steering us back to where we needed to be! She was fun to work with and we will be using her again for our vacation home. Kelly brought fresh ideas and options to us that we never would have considered otherwise. We loved working with her and are very pleased with the end result!

…she was just what I needed.

Kelly was just what I needed when we moved into an active 55 community in the spring of 2016. Even though the overall square footage was the same as our previous home, the rooms were quite large and open to one another. We knew we needed new and different furniture, but I did not know how to proceed. I had already purchased a large sectional but was not confident I had made a wise choice and felt totally stuck as to how to proceed. I needed help and, being new to the area, took a risk by selecting Kelly based solely on her website. What a stroke of luck because she was just what I needed. Kelly listened to my concerns and ideas. She then offered solutions that would work with my style and with what pieces I wanted to retain. She offered details and took measurements, and I took notes. For the most part, I shopped on my own, but then after several purchases, had her return for more advice. I now have all of the major pieces in place, but I’m going to have her return to help with accessorizing. I highly recommend Kelly for all of your design/decorating needs. She is professional, skilled, and a pleasure to work with.

…my house looks like a model home.

I hired Kelly to help with a kitchen remodel and interior decorating for the whole main floor in my home. I am a busy working mom and needed Kelly’s expertise in color, style, theme, and project planning.

I am not very creative nor imaginative. Given a primary theme, I turned to Kelly for advice. Kelly exceeded my expectations. She was decisive, creative, energetic, and very easy to work with. You can hire Kelly to work with you all along the way or let her just do it! I worked with her all the way, but next time I am going to just let her do it all. I trust her judgement.

Kelly has a very keen eye and if you hire Kelly, when your project is done, you will be sure to receive a lot of compliments. I feel like my house looks like a model home now!!! Exactly what I wanted and couldn’t do myself.

I will be hiring Kelly in the near future for a basement remodel and looking forward to working with her again.

Kelly is a professional and talented designer. She is very considerate of your needs and budget. Kelly helped us with furniture ordering and placement and accessorizing. She is great to work with!

…every detail was considered

Kelly has done an incredible job with our first floor remodel of our home. She was able to envision a creative use of our space which entailed opening up our kitchen and family room. From her detailed floor plan to recommendations on cabinetry, lighting, and room decor, every detail was considered and executed beautifully. And not only is her work impeccable, but she is a genuine delight to work with and makes it easy to create the home of your dreams!
