Karen Kitowski & Co., Inc.

Karen worked with me on two homes in California's Wine Country and I couldn't have been happier. She immediately understood my needs and my style, and helped change two dated homes into stylish, beautiful and comfortable environments. Whenever we met, Karen was prepared with samples and options for my review, and it was usually a question of what I loved the best as her choices were always spot on. Karen understands budget and the most important areas to focus. She does not create 'cookie-cutter' spaces, but looks for creative and unique ways to make a room reflect who you are and how you live. I've worked with designers in the past, but none as talented, competent, organized, and generally a pleasure to work with as Karen. When you remodel or build, you're going to invest a great deal on the interior and you don't want expensive mistakes. Karen is a true professional and will give you the look you want, on budget, and on time. I recommend her without hesitation.

Karen Kitowski helped us with a redo of our kitchen. We found her to be a good listener to want we wanted to accomplish, she had many innovative ideas to update our space and lighten it up. She stayed within our budget and was willing to look at less costly items when necessary. She was on time and punctual always and a pleasure to work with.

From Karen's early days in Dallas, imported from San Francisco, I have relished her ability to empathize with a client's lifestyle then interpret that individuality through her filter of clean, creative, comfortable and timeless spaces while adding value to the property. As she listens, one feels her energy and resourcefulness shift into action creating confidence through a process that can be daunting to even an experienced home or business owner. Karen's personal sense of style, her expertise and industry knowledge add layers of confidence to an exciting result.

We hired Karen to help us with the design and furnishings of our Squaw Valley home shortly after receiving the architects first draft of the floor plan. We had worked previously with Karen on several projects (major remodel of our San Francisco home, and a "face-lift" remodel of our current Squaw Valley home), and had always been delighted with the results. Karen is a very good listener, and was expertly able to adapt each project to the different style and need we desired for each home. She focused on furnishings, flow and lighting to meet our personal needs and lifestyle - attending to the smallest details on every decision while working collaboratively with our architect, builder and lighting designer. The final result was wonderful.

Im a real estate agent who has worked with Karen for several years and sold multiple of her homes. Karen's properties always sell for top dollar because they show so well due to her talented design skills. She has a impeccable taste in furniture, art, accessories and she is a master at putting it all together in a format that makes a room shine greatly! Highly recommended!

Karen helped my husband and me with the interior design of our apartment in New York and more recently (beginning in January 2012) with the interior design of our home in Asheville, NC. Karen is an extraordinary designer and she is the ultimate professional, always delivering quality services. She has always been sensitive to our tastes and our budget, and she has provided very creative -- and beautiful solutions - to our needs. Two remodeling projects that stand out are the bathroom in our New York duplex apartment and the creation of an office/studio in our Asheville home. The latter was part of a major renovation in which Karen provided designs for all living areas. Her ongoing advice and partnership with us regarding color, furniture and accessories has resulted in home interiors that we absolutely love!

I have worked with Karen for years and she is a true professional. Karen is creative and practical with her beautiful interior design skills. You'll be happy you hired Karen!

As a craftsman with forty years of experience working with interior designers, I have found Karen to be a true professional in her field. We have worked cooperatively to satisfy her clients and to bring projects to successful completion. She has given me the respect and freedom that a craftsman needs to fulfill his artistic responsibilities and deliver beautiful work.

Karen was the lead design consultant for the redesign of my condo in San Francisco. She has a unique sence of style and design capability. She is excellent at color selection. Karen pulled colors out of my art works and oriental carpets for selecting the paint colors for the rooms. Her matching scale and selection of unique pieces of furniture were right on. I would work with Karen again in a heartbeat.

Karen does beautiful work- she listens- she interprets- and she delivers! Further, she has wonderful resources to share. She was able to integrate new and old and to help me create a wonderful space in my new home.

Karen Kitowski is a fabulous designer with a keen sense of balance, scale, light, and mood. She has created the most amazing living spaces, with incredible style. She can take a boring square room and transform the space such that it seems a million miles away from its current location. She also has a great sensitivity to budget and cost/value: she gets a lot of value for the money from materials, and service people. I love her work!

We hired Karen Kitowski to help us when we bought our home. Her design ideas were outstanding and she helped us with excellent wall color selections that would work well with the furniture we bought. Karen kept our budget in mind and helped us use existing furnishings that worked in our new home. She helped us with design ideas for our bathroom and kitchen as well as lighting design and window treatments. She helped us to effectively place our art work. Once we completed our project we have continued to work with Karen on other projects such as fabrics to recover dining chairs and a new duvet cover. If we ever move we would definitely hire Karen again and we will continue to consult her when fabrics and other things need to be refreshed. Karen is a great interior designer
