I recently had the pleasure of working with Kelly who helped us update several areas of our home. From the start, Kelly displayed impeccable professionalism and a keen eye for detail. She took the time to understand our lifestyle, preferences, and budgetary constraints before presenting us with a comprehensive plan. Her ability to listen attentively and translate our ideas into tangible design concepts was truly remarkable. Not only did Kelly guide us through the selection process, but she also connected us with all the contractors and tradespeople involved in the project. They were all fantastic and did exceptional work. Kelly's project management skills ensured that the work proceeded smoothly and efficiently, with minimal disruption to our family life. Communication with Kelly was prompt and transparent, and she kept us updated on the project's progress, answered our questions promptly, and was receptive to our feedback every step of the way. Now, as the work in our home is complete, we are truly enjoying it and are very grateful to Kelly for making it happen!

This is my second time using Kelly’s design service. She helped me set up my new house post divorce. She simplified my decisions and made the process easier for me and my sons. I also hired her to help me decorate for Christmas. It was money well spent as it reduced my stress and I now have a house that feels like a home. I highly recommend Kelly!!!!

Kelly was extremely professional and so accurate on what needed to be done for staging my home. The various workers (painters, electricians, movers) were so neat, and worked in a timely manner. Kelly advised us on new lighting and improvements, and brought in lots of updated furnishings that led to the quick sale of my home. I highly recommend Kelly’s services.

I have worked with Kelly over the past year on a few different projects and she is amazing. Originally, we connected to redesign our primary bathroom - but when you connect with the right designer, well, things have a way of expanding! Our primary bath went from dull and stale to light and bright - with touches of glam. Kelly’s connections in the industry and keen eye really helped us pull it all together. We also worked on a living room redo - and now, the room which was dark and dated is now bright and welcoming. Kelly helped me find a new rug - which I never would have found on my own - an amazing sofa - a coffee table I would have thought too big - but is perfect. Kelly is a true partner - she listens to you - and makes sure the choices are yours, while the guidance is hers. Oh - and the accessory shopping - amazing. She helped me choose new fames for favorite paintings that have brought new life to them. I had never worked with a designer before - I would not hesitate to call Kelly again!

Kelly with Kelly Designs, Fairfield, CT has been extremely helpful. It took my husband and I almost 6 months to find a house. We moved from MD to CT as a result of a corporate relocation. I saw our house in the spring of '22 and again in the late summer '22. When I first saw the house, I was overwhelmed with all that needed to be done and walked away. The price of the home was reduced after months of sitting on the market. Since there was little inventory, my husband and I decided to give the house a second look at the new price. During that time, Kelly was hired to stage the home. I couldn't believe it was the same house!! The colors, furniture and furniture placement gave me a completely different feeling in the home. After her staging, I could definitely see me and my family in this home. Because of her positive and powerful influence on this home, my husband and I bought the house! Once in the house, I hired Kelly to help me with many projects. She knew the house well after staging it. After 4 months, of Kelly's help, we have made a lot of progress. I needed help with a complete kitchen overhaul, updating a very outdated finished basement, putting personal touches on an office, updating bathrooms as well as a little help with every single room in the house. Coming here from out of state, she saved me a tremendous amount of time by referring me to only those contractors with a known and proven record of reliability and performance in their trade. I really appreciate that aspect of her known relationships in the area. She has excellent chemistry with those professionals she has recommended, and the job gets done. In the kitchen, she has been instrumental in helping me choose kitchen cabinets, countertops, layout, flooring, appliances, tile, light fixtures, sinks, faucets, etc. In the other parts of the house, she has helped me with purchasing furniture in appropriate sizes for the room, furniture placement, paint colors, etc. Kelly is key in making sure that I don't make expensive mistakes! Looking at it in that way makes hiring a designer a good investment. The enjoyment my family and I will experience in this last and forever home will be priceless for many years to come. I value Kelly's opinion. She is patient and listens carefully to the look I am trying to achieve. Her recommendations are verbal and visual - on a design board website just for me, with pricing. I review when it works for me. There is no pressure to complete each project. I take the time I need until I'm sure it's the right fit. This is not a "cookie cutter" approach, but very specific to me. Kelly is very accommodating and incredibly pleasant to work with. She has gone above and beyond several times when I was unsure and until I was sure, especially with kitchen countertops. I've never worked with a designer before and wasn't sure what to expect. Kelly has exceeded my expectations in every way possible. I would highly recommend Kelly with Kelly Designs.

I have worked with Kelly on several projects in my home and have always been extremely happy. She is a good listener and is very good at designing to suit my own tastes and preferences. She has gone shopping with me, helped me pick paint colors and she has also brought samples to my house. I completely trust her advice and have always been happy with the outcome. Most recently she helped me remodel two bathrooms. After the design was complete, she handled all the ordering - from tile, counter top, vanities to plumbing supplies. During the remodel, Kelly was very attentive and responsive. She handled and rectified any issues that arose - which was a huge service and relief to me. I highly recommend Kelly!

Kelly has been absolutely fabulous to work with on our home renovation and decorating project! She has an invaluable network of referrals from flooring, to carpenters, to kitchen designers etc. who have done amazing work and been super easy to work with, as we’ve sought to tackle a few big projects. Her ability to capture our vision and help us make decisions for short and long term design goals was amazing and incredibly helpful, not to mention, styling everything with a “kid friendly” lens and within our price point. Kelly showed us where/ how to best focus our budget given our priorities and needs as a family. Her styling expertise led us to select furniture that we are so happy and excited to have in our home. I’ve learned paint can do wonders to a space! Kelly helped us refresh our colonial and give it the beautiful modern farmhouse vibes we envisioned - we are so happy to have found her for our home renovation and designing needs!

I’ve worked with Kelly on several of my home projects both virtually and in-person. She is knowledgeable, organized, detail oriented and most importantly very patient with all of my various questions. She is very professional and always available. Highly recommend.

Kelly helped us both stage our house to sell as well as to design the dining room of our new house. My wife and I had different views of what the dining room should be and Kelly helped us navigate that and end up with a compromise we both love.

Kelly has great vision! The transformation was so new and beautiful! She completely changed my outlook on hiring a stager and designer! I would highly recommend her!

Professional and reliable! Kelly is a master at her trade. She has great ideas and superior room furnishings. We could not have been happier.

I love Kelly's skilled and fresh approach to interior design and she is a true gem to work with. I originally used her to stage my house (which sold quickly) and then I used her EDesign services for my new home. Kelly helped me design a Master Bedroom from scratch and also a DIning Room around treasured pieces I wanted to keep. The results in both cases are truly beautiful and so much better than if I had done it on my own. I highly recommend kellydesigns!!! - Wendy
