Winsweiler Design

Karin was wonderful to work with. Professional and calm, she will help navigate even the most challenging projects with ease. Karin does a great job working within timelines and budgets, and has lots of creative solutions to make spaces function beautifully for all members of the family.

We met Karin Winsweiler when we moved into a new house in West Seattle in 2007. We asked her to help us choose such things as new furniture, area rugs, and wall colors. She did that and so much more, creating a coherent interior design that not only made each room look great, but also carried themes from one room to the next. We were very happy with the result. Over the years we have asked her for other design advice as we have continued to work on our house. She did the design for three bathroom remodels, has chosen many wall and cabinet colors, and most recently helped us redo our finished basement, which includes a living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, and full bath. Her work continues to be outstanding. Just as importantly, we thoroughly enjoy working with her because of her patience and sense of humor that makes the experience fun. For all these reasons we also unreservedly recommended Karin to several friends who have been equally pleased with her work.

Karin conceptualized two different ideas we had for our basement remodel and provided thoughtful and creative suggestions for how to best utilize the small, awkward space. After choosing a design, she provided a detailed plan for our contractor and SDCI. Karin was also available during the remodel process to answer questions and provide input. We are very pleased with the way the basement turned out and I would highly recommend Winsweiler Design.

It was a total pleasure working with Karin on our master bath remodel. She listened to our desires and ideas for the space, and came up with a gorgeous and timeless design. It's truly the best room in our house! Karin is conscientious, reliable, pleasant to work with, and has an excellent design esthetic. We are 100% satisfied with the results, and recommend her highly.

When we decided to remodel our kitchen we asked for recommendations from a variety of people. Our contractor recommended Karin. In our initial meeting I was struck by how well Karin listened, and the kinds of questions she asked. Over several rounds of design discussion, I appreciated how she offered suggestions that reached across the spectrum. Some I liked right away, and others surprised me. Having Karin lay out multiple options helped us consider things we would not have imagined ourselves. Two of the things I most love about our new kitchen happened because she was there to suggest them, and give us the confidence that the new elements would work. I really appreciated how timely she was in revising drafts, and making sure everyone was in the loop. Karin was a professional through and through. She accompanied me to the cabinet showroom and helped me sort through the never-ending details that make up a kitchen remodel. She drafted plans, which were edited and revised multiple times as the design evolved. She also accompanied us to tile, granite and fixture showrooms. She sat in on meetings with the contractor and cabinet maker, which was really helpful. I cannot offer a higher recommendation. Along with being reliable, creative, attentive and professional, she was also personable. When we do future remodels on any part of our house, I will be calling her.

Karin Winsweiler has worked with me for 15 years on several projects, first at our large family home and at our cabin in the San Juan's and now at the condo where we moved. Karin listens very well. She has an excellent color sense in picking out wall paint, fabric for furniture, and curtains etc.. I have a lot of confidence in her design sense, such as when we remodeled a kitchen. Karin is a delightful person and fun to work with. I'm grateful for her counsel and design expertise over the years. I have recommended her to friends who also rely on her for their projects.
