Design Rooted in Heart, Home & Midwest Charm

At Kate Irmen Interiors, design is rooted in the everyday moments that make a house feel like home. We believe that beautiful spaces don’t have to be flashy—they just need to feel like you. With Midwest warmth at our core and a deep appreciation for timeless style, we approach every project with heart, curiosity, and an eye for livable elegance. Whether you’re renovating a historic charmer or building something brand new, our mission is to create spaces that are functional, inviting, and full of personality—designed to support your life, your family, and your story.

We’re a small but mighty team that believes great design starts with genuine connection. From our very first conversation to the final install, we’re here to guide you through the process with creativity, clarity, and care. We listen closely, collaborate openly, and make sure every detail reflects your lifestyle and vision. With a mix of expertise, honesty, and a little bit of fun, we aim to make the experience just as enjoyable as the end result.

OWNER/DESIGNER

I'm new to the boss lady title.

I’m a Midwest gal, wife to a city boy, and momma to two rowdy boys. I studied design at Harrington College of Design in downtown Chicago—that’s where I fell in love with the energy of city life! This country girl held her own in the big city and loved every minute of it. I still sneak away for visits any chance I get (yes, even if it’s just for pizza!).

Now, I feel lucky to work with incredible local clients to transform their homes into refreshed, functional spaces that feel even better than they imagined.
