Interior design that stands the test of time

Designing beautifully functional homes, personalized for you

Design Lifestyles is a true one-stop shop for interior design that takes you through a seamless journey from design to installation. Stemming from real-world experience, we understand life’s challenges, and how to design an aesthetic that responds to them in surprising ways. 

For every interior design project, we create a turn-key experience – with scheduling and ordering every material, furnishing, and accessory before work starts, so that we can streamline your project, minimize delays, and keep everything running smoothly.

New construction & remodeling services

During the consultation and design phases, our interior designers develop a close relationship with you to personalize every aspect of your design, ensuring each detail works for maximum usability and your unique personality, lifestyle, and vision. We help guide you, so you don’t say “I WISH we did that 6 months ago!”

Having us on board from the very beginning helps you avoid potential expensive design mistakes and ensures your home isn’t just beautiful, but perfectly functional for your life. Clients always remark that we offer solutions they would never have thought about, but make an incredible difference in their day-to-day lives.

With experience building and remodeling numerous houses over the past 18+ years, we know that a design for a family with young kids will be very different from a bachelor’s high-rise apartment or a commercial space. Experiencing every housing market since 2005, we help you maximize your home’s value.

Furnishings

Choosing furnishings and accessories, as well as space planning can be some of the most difficult decisions to make, especially on your own. Getting the proportion, shape, and materials just right for your unique environment requires specialized support from experienced interior design and furnishing experts, like us!

Talking you through custom furniture and ready-made options, we recommend the best furnishing collections for you to enjoy for years to come. We also give you access to products directly from manufacturers through our buying group and we can work with renowned custom furniture manufacturers for more personalized options. 

It can be hard to visualize how your furnishings will work in real life.

Testimonials

See what clients are saying about us

"Kim Bailey and Lauren Bailey Rude are amazing designers. We have worked with them on a number of projects at our home and we have been so pleased with everything they have done.  Their eye to detail is unmatched. We highly recommend Design Lifestyles for all your decorating needs."

Billie Lind

"Kim Bailey has the qualities an interior designer is supposed to have - artistic ability, creativity, and visualization.  But she and her team at Design Lifestyles have more than that -  they are passionate, caring, problem solvers too.  We simply could not be more pleased with the result of our collaboration with Kim and her team.  But the process is important too.  We engaged Kim Bailey interiors in February of this year. From the beginning Kim and her team worked with us to understand what we wanted. They worked diligently to present ideas to bring it all together. They were responsive to our many questions and  comments often sent at odd times of days, nights, and weekends. And, when we started this project, there was not a pandemic, but it hit while we were underway.  Kim and  her  team managed it all – from changes in orders, to receivers to movers and installers - all with uncanny precision and a sense of calm.

In the end, our new contemporary home is stylish, fitting of our desires and our personality and within the budget we outlined at the start. I checked all 5 stars and every box above because Design Lifestyles is deserving of it."

Jim Grau

"We enlisted KBI's help for our project- remodeling 6 different rooms in our house: Formal living room/entry, family room, kitchen/laundry, dining room, hall bath, and office. We came into a house that needed a lot of help and now have a beautiful home that we're proud to call our own. They are have been extremely thoughtful, accommodating, and professional. They are definitely your advocates throughout the process and make themselves available if you ever have questions.

This was our first remodel project and they were very patient with us. We couldn't have asked for nicer people to work with. Their ENTIRE team has been great and you can trust they

Highly recommend Design Lifestyles if you're looking for a partner in designing a home that will suit YOUR style."

Crecia Magee

"I had a wonderful experience working with Design Lifestyles, and I love how they have transformed my home! Kim and Lauren are extremely talented and really good at discerning and respecting a client’s likes, dislikes and personal style.

I love how they presented me with options.   I could choose furnishings and materials, without being overwhelmed with too many choices.  It was fun, and it felt good to participate in the process of creating a pretty, cozy home for my family. Their attention to detail is amazing.  Every color, fabric, pattern and accessory is coordinated and intentional, without being too “matchy,” if that makes sense. I also have to say, Kim has a calm, reassuring demeanor that really helps in the midst of a remodel.

Kim and Lauren are kind, talented ladies, and they are a joy to work with.  Stephanie and Kelly are lovely to work with as well! Thank you, Design Lifestyles team! I hope I get to work with you again on future projects!"

Luisa A.

"We absolutely LOVE Design Lifestyles!! Shortly after moving into our brand-new house, we had some an idea of how we wanted it to look inside.  However, we soon found ourselves extremely overwhelmed by all the options at our local furniture stores, along with the thousand of ideas from social media sites. To add to our challenge, we have 3 young children that keep us very busy throughout the week. We really needed some professional help, so we contacted Design Lifestyles. After our initial meeting with Kim, we knew we wanted to work with her.  Throughout the entire process, Kim really listened to our desires and took detailed notes of our vision.  She also challenged us to think through the process since we had never hired a design firm before. Kim brought a tremendous amount of creativity and suggested amazing ideas/layouts/colors that we never thought of or imagined we would love. She and her team were very professional, kind, upfront with expectations and on top every single detail of our project. On our reveal day, we were blown away by how Kim had turned our house into a beautiful warm and inviting HOME.  There is no way we could have ever done this without Kim’s expertise, hard work and commitment to her clients.  Our words of gratitude do not adequately express the joy we feel each day living in our new home.

We highly recommend Design Lifestyles to help anyone looking for assistance with your interior design needs. She is amazingly talented at what she does and is truly a treasure to work with.  Looking forward to working with her again in the future!"
