From helping me select plumbing fixtures to paint colors and lighting, etc., her knowledge and innate sense of style made the process so much more relaxing and enjoyable. She knew exactly how to make my home feel calm and timeless- which was my main goal! Kelly was extremely flexible, kind, and very supportive. Best of all, she had so many suggestions and ideas that helped me stay in budget! Or if I wanted to do something a little “more”- she knew exactly the best bang for my buck. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!!! Feel like I found an absolute treasure in Kelly. ❤️

My wife and I have worked with several decorators in the past. All were very good, but we came to appreciate that none were Kelly Clark. Our recent major project consisted of adding a first floor master bedroom, master bath and laundry room suite to our beloved 90 year old home, and a total redo of our existing living and dining room. From day one, Kelly served not only as a talented designer/decorator but established herself as a working partner and major coordinator between us and our main contractor and various home furnishing and appliance vendors, many of the latter skillfully recommended by Kelly and with whom she had long standing and trusted relationships. A timeline was set by Kelly early on that would integrate a number of variables over the ensuing six to eight months of the project. Variables included aspects of the construction schedule, the priority areas for the selection and ordering of countless fixtures, accessories, furniture, furnishings, carpeting and window treatments. In each instance, she factored in realistic delivery times of various pieces and a logical sequence to installations and deliveries. Working around our ambitious travel schedule, Kelly selected and booked a number of meeting dates for us with various vendors, most of which she attended to provide skilled advice and counsel. She also attended, when necessary or useful, on-site meets with our contractor to determine exact placement of fixtures and other such minute details. Likewise, she was present to guide certain vendor installations. All of this was well above and beyond her core design/decorative services. We highly valued her opinions on furniture style, color, and fabric; carpeting type, texture, patterns; paint colors and finishes; plumbing and lighting accessories etc.). Add to these formidable professional talents, the personal attributes of a charming personality, an easy manner, and a genuine ability to listen to her clients, and you get in the parlance of today – the personal and professional “whole package”. Her business model encourages frequent interaction in person, by phone, video or text without the “on the clock” mentality which we welcomed greatly. We can say with complete confidence that, had it not been our good fortune to have the extraordinary design, artistic and organizational talents of Kelly Clark, our project would have taken far more months to complete. More importantly her efforts resulted in our having a very high degree of gratification with the end result of project. Thank you, Kelly, for all that you did to help us realize our goals. Our home is now as welcoming, warm, comfortable and cozy as we hoped it would be.

Working with Kelly on the redesign of my first floor was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. My home leans transitional in style, but much of my existing furniture was more classical-and honestly, a bit outdated. What drew me to Kelly was her design philosophy: "I do emphasize design that is classical and timeless and then layer with elements that are fresh and exciting." After reading that on her website, I knew she was the right fit for me. Kelly was incredibly easy to work with-patient, collaborative, and always attentive to my preferences. If something didn't feel quite right, she would come back with multiple other options, never making me feel rushed or pressured. One moment that stood out: she even arranged for me to visit one of her previous clients just to try out a kitchen chair in person. I had never met these homeowners before, but they welcomed me into their space simply because of how much they admired Kelly and her work. You can tell she truly loves what she does. Her passion for design, her eye for color (she's a certified True Colour Expert), and her ability to blend timeless elegance with a fresh twist resulted in a first floor I absolutely love. It now feels both inviting and elevated, and it reflects exactly the look I had hoped to achieve. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking to refresh or transform their space-you'll be in the best hands.

From our initial consultation where she attempted to gauge our design style, to picking out furniture pieces or paint and wallpaper designs, she listened to our likes (and dislikes) and worked with us to create an outcome that we love. Kelly connected us with great contractors who were trustworthy and timely and she was always willing to troubleshoot or be there when issues came up! Kelly is hardworking, creative and kind. She even enjoyed our excitable children who always had one million questions for her when she was at the house. I highly recommend Kelly if you are looking for someone to help you create timeless and functional style within your home. Thank you, Kelly!

Kelly assisted us with a major renovation project for our outdated kitchen and livingroom. She was incredibly helpful throughout the project which was overwhelming. We had always been DIY people but this project was too much. Her key contribution was the design and selection process and listening. She is very knowledgable and easy to work with as well as creative, great problem solver (ours was an older home) and very patient. I also appreicated how well she worked with the contractors and took care of any problem that came up so we didn't have to. The outcome of this thoughtful design was functional, incredible and jaw dropping. We had a 1958 Tappan Stove that would be central to our kitchen project. She totally understood the need to include unique features and original details of our home and brought ideas for tile, cabinets etc that totally blended with our home. She also did follow up with us long after to project was completed to see how we liked the set up and arrangement. Top notch contributions to an expensive and overwhelming project!

Kelly is absolutely wonderful! I cannot stress enough that you NEED an interior designer if you are taking on a big renovation project, especially if you are a newbie, like me. You are likely spending a lot of money and you want it to look good in the end, so get help from a professional! Kelly’s knowledge was invaluable. She knew the best places to source hardware, lighting, etc. and which contractors to hire (and not hire, ha) for your project, and which items you should splurge/save on. For example, her wallpaper installers were excellent and efficient; I don’t know that I would have found them without Kelly’s recommendation. I ran into an issue with my kitchen cabinets, which basically destroyed my initial plan/vision. Kelly helped me work through it and I think the outcome is even better than my initial design. I love that she is knowledgeable in timeless design and helped me pick a kitchen with longevity.
