We love a house with good bones. We can refresh and redesign any room of your home. Using paint, fabric and fixtures we can transform any space into something completely new.

We educate clients throughout the process, onboard other necessary contractors, as well as review plans, materials selection, all the way through to furnishing the home for the way they live.



RENOVATION & NEW BUILD ASSISTANCE

We have comprehensive experience in lighting design and layout. KSD can assist with locating high hats, light switches and outlets all the way through picking out statement chandeliers or table lamps. Our strong relationships with vendors, contractors and electricians across multiple communities mean we can take your lighting project from start to finish seamlessly.



LIGHTING DESIGN

We have extensive knowledge in window fabrications and treatments with sources for high-quality brands to bring both beauty and quality to your space. Our custom fabrication partners can also make one-of-a-kind treatments. When it comes to flooring, we have resources to provide extensive material selection as well as custom installations. We can also help source the dreamy vintage rug you've been waiting for!

WINDOW & FLOOR COVERINGS

Our wholesale accounts mean we can specify and select fabrics with ease. Close industry partners enable us to source any plumbing fixtures, tiles, cabinetry, stone, or other materials your project requires.




MATERIAL, FIXTURE &
FINISH SELECTIONS

From advising our clients on art investments to assisting in finding quality pieces that fit within their budget and desired aesthetic, our in-house Art Consultant works closely with our Principal Designer to curate and commission the perfect art collections or selections that meet the needs of their space.


ART CONSULTING

We have an extensive list of accounts and resources you won’t find anywhere else. Our relationships with fabrication workrooms mean we can design fully custom pieces or adapt existing items seamlessly. We can also honor your existing pieces and work in beautiful vintage touches.


HOME FURNISHINGS

Sometimes it's the special touches that bring a space together and make it one of a kind. Our workroom and resale relationships mean we can craft or source the accents to perfect any interior. We can incorporate your existing pieces while helping you find special items to make your home feel as unique as you.



DECORATIVE ACCESSORIES

From drawings to styling, if we can imagine it together we can make it a reality. We work in AutoCAD and SketchUp to draw your kitchen or bath from scratch while planning your spaces to take both form and function into account. We’re happy to consult with your existing kitchen cabinet supplier, or offer recommendations.

QUICK NOTE

Using Sketch-Up, we can draw up custom shelves, cabinets, mouldings or any details you can name. As this software is the industry standard, you can share these plans with multiple contractors to gather quotes. We are also more than happy to help you find the right contractor for your project!




BUILT-IN & MILLWORK DETAILS

We use AutoCAD to create professional, scale drawings to plan your spaces during the construction stage. We can take walls, furniture and sizing into account for existing rooms, new builds and everything in between. We can work alongside your current architect, consult on existing architectural drawings, or even recommend an architect when the need arises.

Our design process is a multifaceted 4 phase approach that is thorough and easy enough for us to navigate your project together.

EXPERIENCE

OUR DESIGN PROCESS

DISCOVERY

DESIGN + PLANNING

IMPLEMENTATION

At the start of each project we have a meeting to go over your space, desired goals for use of the space, vision on the aesthetic and must-haves as well as your planned investment. 

DISCOVERY

PHASE ONE

INTERIOR DESIGN

Our goal is to help you get a clear vision with the scope of work that will be undertaken. We share sketches and renderings of options for the space along with initial suggestions for design direction. If you have a contractor or architect, we work alongside them to measure and discuss layouts, permits and structural changes. We also go over estimated timelines for the project and discuss finishes, furnishings, and fixtures.

DESIGN + PLANNING

PHASE TWO

Signing off on the final design is the start of your project. Plans and selections are finalized and this phase now enables us to start the ordering process. We track the purchases, ensure correct placement of materials and make site visits to ensure the vision is executed.

IMPLEMENTATION

PHASE THREE

Upon completion of construction, our team comes in and brings the vision full circle by installing furnishings, furniture, home accents and accessories. We then coordinate and execute a client walk through where any concerns and discoveries can be discussed and the solutions to solving them. We finalize the project with photography.

FINALIZATION

PHASE FOUR

We aspire to create inspirational and bespoke spaces that are a reflection of our client's individuality and taste.

Based in idyllic Newburyport, Massachusetts, we offer both interior design and architectural services with a focus on historic home renovation, additions, interior remodel and design. We believe the creative process is a collaboration, and partner with each of our clients to build a curated design unique to their home and lifestyle. Whether it’s a quintessentially classic look or bespoke vintage modern, our focus is creating a comfortable yet beautiful environment that stands the test of time. 





Our Approach

We can't wait to hear from you.

Every project begins with a personal consultation where we learn more about your design goals, personal style and taste, assess your needs and define your project scope. We look forward to working together.

My experience with KSD Design has been outstanding. Kate took the time to get to know us as clients and understood the specific goals for our project. She sourced gorgeous fabrics, furniture, art, and accessories for our home to give us the unique but harmonious look we were hoping for. Unlike other designers I have worked with they are respectful of budget and client priorities. The team is professional, responsive, and wonderfully creative. I will look forward to working with them again on our next project.

What more could you want from a renovation? Kate and her Team treated my tiny house as if it were a castle. Without a massive gut renovation, KSD transformed my downstairs — pulling together two amazing contractors, a meticulous painter, a precision wallpaper hanger, a plumber, an electrician, along with a million other things, and seamlessly managed every aspect of the project from start to finish. My downstairs is now living up to its full and glorious potential. When people walk into the new entryway they pause and say Jen, this is so you! I’m over the moon with how everything turned out and am looking forward to having Kate and her Team back to reinvigorate my upstairs.

Kate is so talented and understands how to mix antiques and modern furniture better than anyone I have seen!
Thank you for your help Kate!
