Testimonials

See what clients are sayingAbout us

"We absolutely LOVE Design Lifestyles! After our initial meeting with Kim, we knew we wanted to work with her. Throughout the process, Kim really listened to our desires and took detailed notes of our overall vision. 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 Kim Bailey Interiors. Kim is amazingly talented at what she does and is truly a treasure to work with!"

"My husband and I interviewed three design firms to remodel our kitchen and master bath. We wanted both projects to run simultaneously & we had a general idea of what we wanted. After spending an hour with Kim and Lauren Bailey, our decision was made. Kim and Lauren give professionalism a new definition and yet working with them was relaxed and actually fun. We were presented with a budget & timeline for each project. The budget covered each expense and KBI was very conscious of our budget, making sure we stayed on track. The contractors recommended by KBI were simply the best.

Kim and Lauren were with us every step of the remodel and their eye to detail was unsurpassed. We are thrilled with the results. Our kitchen and master bath are simply beautiful. The results far exceeded our expectations.

We highly recommend Design Lifestyles."

"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!"

"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."
