We're in love with our gorgeous accent wall, which neither of us would ever been brave enough to have picked on our own - you won't regret hiring her.
"[My husband] and I have been banging our heads against the wall trying to decide how and what color to paint our kitchen since we moved in 18 months ago... I finally pulled the trigger and asked a pro to design something for us. The color Kim chose was perfect on the first try and [my husband] and I are in love with our gorgeous accent wall, which neither of us would ever been brave enough to have picked on our own. I highly recommend her design services (she offers more than just paint consult) if you're in a similar situation as us - you won't regret it!"

Kim’s commitment to seeing the entire project through was nothing short of fantastic. My wife and I loved Kim's HGTV-style reveal. It's was a great experience to share.
"...After reviewing with at least 10 other interior designers, Kim emerged as the most understanding and flexible in scope of work, and schedule. She took the time to understand our budget and... provided alternatives that met our needs and delivered on the aesthetics 110%... Kim’s commitment to seeing the entire project through was nothing short of fantastic. Our house is amazing and we couldn’t be happier. I am grateful that Kim was part of this journey to our first home. Be sure to sign up for the “reveal day” option when you become a client of Kim. It’s as close to having a personal feeling of being on HGTV as you’ll get and well worth it to share with your partner..."

Kim went the extra mile to make sure we were happy every step of the way. She always has a plan B!
"...Kim is attentive, detailed, highly professional, flexible, reasonable, and mostly and AMAZING designer!! She started by asking us lots of questions to get an idea of what we liked; styles, colors, etc. From there we moved to wall colors and room color palettes. Lastly, we moved to the furnishings for each room. During each step Kim made sure we were happy with the decisions we made, especially the wall colors. Kim is extremely efficient and helpful. She works with your schedule and always has a plan B! We are beyond thrilled in having chosen to work with Kim! We will be working with her again when we start finishing our basement and I can’t wait!"

"…Kim immediately started asking questions about [my children’s] interests, favorite things, colors... It was truly like watching an artist at work!! And just like it came so effortlessly to her, there [were] formats for each child’s room. I was overwhelmed by the time, selflessness, care, and the listening she had been doing even when I didn’t realize, to put these step by step. She left no stone unturned... Kim not only made this more than easy for us but was well within our price range. Needless to say, I will be coming to her for any and all home projects big and small!! …Kim puts her heart into her work and that goes without saying. She brought her heart into our home."

Kim stands out as a project manager — she is incredibly attentive to detail, assembles a terrific team of contractors, and keeps everyone/everything on track as much as possible.
"Kim was WONDERFUL to work with throughout our project, including full design of several rooms and modernizing a country style cottage. She has a great eye for design and layout, of course, but also stands out as a project manager — she is incredibly attentive to detail, assembles a terrific team of contractors, and keeps everyone/everything on track as much as possible. We are SO happy with how our home looks and have her to thank. We wholeheartedly recommend Kim & KH Home Design!!!!"

We would never have had the confidence to even know where to begin, but we trusted Kim from the start. She suggested vendors which meant we didn't have to run around.
"...We were totally at a loss so we hired [Kim] to do a "Walk and Talk Consultation". Let me tell you it was worth every penny. She made such clever and creative suggestions for updating our space... My favorite upgrade was the painting of our brick fireplace, which is now a beautiful charcoal gray. We would never have had the confidence to even know where to begin, but we trusted Kim from the start. She also suggested vendors with whom she had worked, which meant we didn't have to run around trying to find exactly what we were looking for."

Kim rolled up her sleeves and dug into architectural plans, offered guidance, and steered the project, taking a HUGE load off of our shoulders. She does what she says and owns projects completely.
"...Kim is amazing. She was an essential link between us and our contractor in the design of the addition and had a huge positive impact on the final product (she rolled up her sleeves and dug into architectural plans, offered guidance and steered the project, taking a HUGE load off of our shoulders). She listened to our needs and preferences and created the most lovely, comfortable living spaces! Through all of it Kim was so organized and prompt and diligent. She does what she says and owns projects completely. And she takes away STRESS. If we hadn’t hired her I don’t know where we’d be and I am so thankful we found her!"

She gave clear direction and gave us the confidence to make bolder decisions than we ever would have done otherwise.
"Kim is a quality designer. She took our traditional colonial and updated it with a contemporary design that was practical for our young kids but also stylish. We thoroughly appreciated her attention to detail, reliability, and continual communication throughout the project. She offers flexible pricing options and was able to source items at a range of price points. She gave clear direction and gave us the confidence to make bolder decisions than we ever would have done otherwise."

"Kim is an amazing resource for interior design. I especially love that she has packages designed for more DIY inclined folks, like myself, who need some advice and direction but enjoy the process of furnishing and decorating the home. We moved into a new house and she provided paint recommendations for all the rooms, plus advice on space planning and furniture selection. We are very happy with the results!"

Kimberly is professional, responsive, and transparent - we always knew where the project stood, how much everything would cost, and what to expect next.
"Kimberly helped us turn our house into our dream home. Everyone who comes to our home asks for our designer's info! It looks spectacular and we couldn't have done it without Kimberly. From selecting large furniture items to pulling together small details, she gave our home a balanced, cohesive style that is functional for our family and perfectly reflects our taste. And working together couldn't have been easier. Kimberly is professional, responsive, and transparent - we always knew where the project stood, how much everything would cost, and what to expect next. I can't recommend her enough!"

We really appreciated all of her help overseeing the contractors. She quickly figured out that we wanted more color in our home, and we definitely have that now!
"We've been working with Kim for over a year now to renovate and decorate our first floor (kitchen, dining room, living room) and playroom. Kim has been great to work with, and as working parents with full-time jobs, we really appreciated all of her help overseeing the contractors. She quickly figured out that we wanted more color in our home, and we definitely have that now! Our first floor is beautiful but still kid and pet-friendly. Our favorite part is the custom built-in kitchen cabinet with fabulous hardware and wallpaper. We will definitely be reaching out to Kim again"

Kim stood out from the rest with her unique consulting services. She is the only designer that I have found that offers something like this.
"Her Walk and Talk option was the right fit (and price) for my needs. From there, I have been able to add-on follow-up sessions as needed, where she provides not only recommendations but also teaches me about home design... She is the only designer that I have found that offers something like this. Kim is an attentive listener and took the time to really understand my style. Her sessions are always educational and efficient; her deep understanding of all aspects of home design is apparent. Because of Kim, I feel confident in my design choices, and I’m having a blast doing it!"

"Kim Horton was a complete pleasure to work with!... When she walked in the door, her kind and friendly demeanor was evident right from the start and I immediately felt comfortable with her... Kim was thoughtful, caring, and very concerned about what I wanted to get the result I was looking for. Kim then came back with a very well thought out plan of the furniture configuration along with several suggestions to improve and enhance the look. The changes were made and my area of concern is now a warm and cozy home! Kim has a great eye for detail and knows her business well. I would highly recommend Kim for any home improvement project big or small."
