“Kelly has an awesome eye for the possible. We didn't have a ton of work to do nor did we provide her with much to work with. We had a living room that was simply boring. She worked within the same footprint and within our budget to create an amazing living room that we actually now use!”
– Tracy M.


My husband and I have known Kelly for years and really enjoy working with her. She is creative, collaborative and has a keen design eye. She is detail oriented and thoughtful in her approach. She also loves to get feedback about where she is meeting the mark and where our tastes aren't exactly aligned.

She is responsive to our budget constraints. I trust her completely and have never been disappointed in the final product of any project we have undertaken!

“This is my first time to hire an Interior Design. We feel so lucky that we found Kelly. Kelly is really nice, flexible and patient which is definitely to work with her. We hired her to decorate our new home including all furniture and window treatments. After she got our requirements and knew our styles. She worked really hard and showed us the layout and the furniture. The furniture is in high quality, looked luxury but with reasonable prices. Once she did her job, our house is so gorgeous. We had a few parties after Kelly finished the project. Every guest said the same thing! "The house is so beautiful and look luxury". Definitely we would recommend Kelly for the interior design.”

A few years ago, I was looking on Houzz for someone to help pull all my ideas together for a kitchen, family room and living room update. After going through several of the online profiles, I found Kelly Tivey Interiors.

Kelly is the consummate professional and I am in awe of her design abilities and seamless coordination skills. She was extremely collaborative, keeping in touch through phone calls, emails as well as face to face consults. I could not have been happier with the results (the kitchen is on her Houzz site). My new space exceeded my expectations – and I am forever grateful for her guidance through the process.

Working with her was such a pleasure that I moved just so I could start all over again! Kidding - but we did move and Kelly provided her amazing insight again to help make our house a home.

I would not hesitate to recommend her for any design project, big or small.

“Kelly was extremely professional and her knowledge about interior decorating is excellent. She asked me several questions to receive a better understanding of what type of furniture that I liked and then provided me with several photos of excellent well-made furniture.  Kelly’s furniture and artwork prices are extremely reasonable. Her follow through was phenomenal from ordering the furniture, developing it, shipping and most important asking me if I was satisfied with the furniture. My house now looks fantastic because of Kelly. I look forward to working with Kelly again in the near future and I would suggest anyone to hire Kelly.”

“Kelly has a real talent for taking your ideas and making them so much better! She worked with me on a refresh of my whole house. She listened to my wants and needs and was extremely patient and helpful while I agonized over paint colors! She took my vision and added her wonderful style. The end result exceeded my expectations! Kelly respected my budget and my time and she is fun to work with! I would recommend her to anyone and plan to use her talents again!”

“Kelly Tivey is the Real Deal of Interior Design. As a General Contractor I have worked with many interior designers but my experiences with Kelly have been noticeably different. Kelly has superior interpersonal skills, is well organized, asks the right questions, is always polite and professional, promptly returns calls and keeps ALL parties engaged and informed. Such professional skills, while most would consider common, are actually not very common. I have also been impressed with Kelly’s ability to integrate and facilitate all elements of a project from colors, cabinetry, lighting, window treatments, floor and wall treatments and so forth. Myself and clients have great respect for Kelly’s ability and talents of transforming a room through an optimal and comprehensive project plan. I welcome and am always excited to engage in another project with Kelly.”

“Kelly was with us from start to finish of our project and provided us with valuable inputs and workable design which made the entertainment center the focal point of our living room. Kelly negotiated well with vendors and contractors on our behalf and got the best prices. She made sure our project was prioritized by the contractor when there were delays.”

“Kelly Tivey was very helpful from the beginning to end of our kitchen, family room and living/dining room remodel. She got back to me promptly when I first inquired of her interior design services through Houzz. Kelly met with me several times throughout the design, ordering and purchasing process to make sure I loved the way the remodel turned out. She was helpful with setting up meetings with contractors. Kelly was very professional and knowledgeable and made sure to confirm our budget range as the project progressed. Our whole family is very happy with how the project turned out. It exceeded our expectations!”

“Kelly is simply phenomenal in every way - professional, knowledgeable and personable! Her design expertise and unwavering support helped me get my home projects done with my sanity in tact! Kelly’s patience and unique ideas helped me envision exactly what I wanted and helped execute with the different 3rd parties involved (eg. contractor, cabinet maker, tiler, glass & mirror maker, etc.). Kelly is an excellent communicator and project manager - quick to reply back and resolve issues from a 3rd party (eg. staying on track of project plan and timeline, getting things done right, etc.) If she didn’t have an answer to my question, she had numerous professional resources to turn to. As my overall designer and project manager, Kelly eliminated alot of potential stress that comes with a homeowner working directly with those that execute on the project. I can’t thank her enough for all her hard work and support!”

“Our experience of working with Kelly began as the new foundation for our home was poured, and lasted until the pictures were hung on the walls. Kelly was an invaluable resource for us in helping with space planning, kitchen design, and the selection of lighting, tile, hardwood flooring, moldings, window treatments and furniture. Plus, she helped with interior and exterior color selections that have given us total satisfaction. 

Kelly is a true professional, with tons of experience, who really knows how to work with people. Her reputation is indisputable-she is warm, friendly and very down to earth. Throughout our project we found her to have great ideas, but never forceful or overbearing. Kelly is both practical and creative, and was very respectful of our budget. Our general contractor loved working with her-working as a team worked out perfectly. Kelly is a good listener, communicator and was always available for our large project. 

We feel very fortunate to have found Kelly, and would not hesitate to work with her again. With her help, we had a great and rewarding experience building a home from the ground up!”

“After completing a full house remodel/addition last year, my husband and I realized that we needed the expertise of a designer to help us complete our home. We were able to pick some main pieces for each room, but did not know how to add the finishing touches. We are so fortunate to have found Kelly! Kelly met with us, listened to what we liked, how we lived, etc., and from there presented us with interesting decorating ideas/options that would work for our family. She has been sweet and patient throughout this process. Kelly is turning our house into a home. Thank you so much Kelly.”

“I have worked with Kelly on three projects now. And every time she has been organized and specific with her photographic needs. And as a photographer it make my job much easier to work with someone who can communicate their ideas. Besides, she is a great designer and it’s actually fun to photograph her projects.”

“I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Kelly Tivey for space planning consultation by the builder of my new condo. I was so impressed with Kelly’s highly personable and professional demeanor and design expertise that I knew Kelly was the one I wanted to hire to help make my dream space come to life. Over the past 10 months, Kelly has worked tirelessly to develop and implement a design concept for my new home. The design process has included space and lighting planning, selection and application of all finishes, fixtures and furniture. Throughout, Kelly has patiently listened to my wants and wishes and has been most respectful of my desired budget never compromising style, quality or attention to detail in the process. Kelly has been able to mix high end pieces with items that I have found online creating a warm, custom and special living environment. Kelly’s knowledge of the industry is truly remarkable and she is the consummate design professional!!!”
