Our Process
A clear path from first conversation to final styling.
Every project — large or small — moves through the same five stages. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is improvised.
- 01
Discovery
Every project begins with listening. Kristie meets with you to understand how you live, entertain, and want your home to feel — including the things you know you don't like, which are often the clearest starting point for a design direction.
- 02
Concept & Space Planning
With a clear sense of your goals, the studio develops a space plan and design concept for each area of the project — establishing furniture layouts, flow, and the overall direction before any purchasing begins.
- 03
Design Development & Selections
The concept is developed into specific material, finish, furniture, and lighting selections, including custom millwork where needed, so every element works together as one cohesive design.
- 04
Procurement & Project Coordination
Once selections are approved, KLW manages ordering, tracking, and logistics through trade and designer-only vendors, coordinating contractors and delivery schedules on your behalf.
- 05
Installation & Final Styling
In the final stage, furnishings and decor are installed and styled in place — artwork hung, accessories placed, and every detail finished — so the space is ready to live in from the moment it's complete.

The first step is simply a conversation about how you live and what you want your space to feel like.
