Kind Words From Our Clients

  • “Hiring Kristin for our full home renovation was without a doubt the best decision I made. I never thought that tackling a renovation could be stress-free on my part until I worked with Kristin. As someone who easily experiences decision fatigue and was juggling caregiving and pregnancy at the time, I turned to Google in search of a local interior designer and came across Strand Interiors. I could tell from her Instagram page that our styles meshed well. From our very first conversation, I knew Kristin was someone I wanted to work with. She’s incredibly friendly, honest, knowledgeable, and professional, and we instantly clicked. Kristin has an incredible eye for design and a deep understanding of how to bring a vision to life. She truly nailed our warm, transitional style, and every design concept she presented felt thoughtfully curated. She was always mindful of our budget, yet everything she proposed was beautiful and cohesive, which made the decision-making process so much easier for me. I’m beyond grateful to Kristin for transforming my 90s childhood house into the home of my dreams. It brings me so much joy to sit in my family room, admiring the dainty wallpaper she chose for our built-ins and the beautiful hardware on our cabinets. As I rock my baby in her nursery, I look up and smile at the soft pink ceiling and the lovely floral wallpaper surrounding me; and as I enter my home, knowing how it looked before, I’m in awe by how every light fixture, every furniture piece, and every detail fits our home perfectly. Kristin is truly a designer turned friend, and I’m so proud of what we created together. I wholeheartedly recommend Strand Interiors for any of your interior design needs! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything Kristin!”

  • “I am not someone who writes many reviews but my experience with Kristin at Strand Interiors was so great that I had to share it. I had reached a point in my life where I was able to do a whole house remodel. I knew I would need the help of an interior designer. I searched online and when I looked at Kristin’s website, I knew that I had to call her. That call turned into a wonderful relationship. Kristin has been an absolute pleasure to work with! She is professional but also warm and friendly. She is reliable, punctual and great with project management. Most importantly, her design ideas are better than I could have imagined. Her ideas are beautiful, creative and unique. One thing I really appreciated was her ability to gently push me out of my comfort zone. She listens to your ideas and then together with her client she creates a masterpiece. I am so grateful that I listened to her suggestions because I love every room in my house! Kristin is on top of every detail and her communication was excellent. I can’t recommend Kristin highly enough!”

  • “How lucky we were to find Kristin to design our new kitchen. A leak forced us into a kitchen remodel just months after having our 4th child, so we were not at all prepared to take on all that was involved. Kristin jumped right in and delivered designs that perfectly captured the look we were going for. She also thought through the details of how the kitchen would work for our family as the kids grew up and our needs evolved. We are thrilled with how this project turned out and know we could not have done it without Kristin's guidance and expertise.”

  • “I highly recommend Kristin Strand with Strand Interiors for home and office interior design and home staging. Kristin is incredibly talented, and always extremely professional. Her attention to detail and feedback is also impeccable. She helped my family refresh our first floor which includes the entry way, family room and living room. She listened carefully to our needs (i.e. kid and dog-friendly furniture that would be easy to clean and maintain) and helped pick out furniture pieces that we absolutely love. I wanted to invest in quality pieces that would last long and was willing to pay more accordingly, but she is also fantastic at identifying bargains and thrift store pieces for those on a tighter budget. Her designer discount at the major stores is also a great perk, and helps cover her fees. We have several more spaces in our home that I'm looking forward to updating within the next year or two with Kristin's support because we had such a wonderful experience working with her this past year. If you're thinking about obtaining professional support, you won't regret hiring Kristin/Strand Interiors. She will take the stress out of the process and help you identify pieces that are the right size and measurements to maximize and enhance the space and reflect your personality/style. She also designs the space for functionality which was especially important for our family.”
