Testimonials
what clients say
The best decision we made in our kitchen renovation was to enlist Kate’s help! She made the entire project so much easier, and infinitely more beautiful than anything we could have done ourselves. Kate and Parker’s eyes for design are amazing, and we get so many compliments on their work. In addition, they were both so responsive and easy to work with. We would 100% work with them again, and plan to call them when we’re ready for our next project!
Walking into Kate Irmen Interiors you instantly get that cozy at home feeling.I love shopping at her store and getting decor for my house along with her fabulous smelling candles. Best candles I have ever purchased!! Kate is always there to help add any decor advice to me. She has everything for any room for your house. With great prices that can fit anyone’s budget!
Kate’s studio is such a fresh and inviting space. I love the way she combines candle scents which has become a little addition with a big impact in my home. She has some great wall art and I’m amazed at how the loft in our home was transformed with simply adding a new area rug she suggested. Unique finds and a wonderful design experience!
We LOVE our new bathroom! Kate helped pull it out of the 1990s with a down-to-the-studs remodel featuring an awesome walk-in shower with tons of niche shelving. She made the design and product selection streamlined. We appreciated that we didn't have to choose from hundreds of different options for every little thing. Another really underrated part of Kate's service is the project management portion. We didn't have to bother with trying to find contractors and subcontractors and hoping we chose a good one. Kate had her vetted partners she'd worked with in the past ready to go and communicated and coordinated well throughout the project. Kate is highly recommended!
Kate did an amazing job designing our first floor. She listened to my feedback and also challenged me to consider new things that I ended up loving in the end. She truly transformed our space to something we will enjoy for many years to come!!
Initially, I hesitated contacting Kate, but with my circumstances & being during COVID, I concluded it would be best to contact her for help redoing my master bathroom. It was the BEST decision!! What really impressed me, initially, was that she listened to my likes & dislikes. She noted my style in the rest of the house. We discussed options. The finished ( not quite finished yet) product is just perfect . I would highly recommend contacting Kate for her services!!
Kate was extremely professional and is a talented designer. She ensured all work was completed on time and to our satisfaction. Kate worked with us to ensure our remodel was a success and that we loved all of the changes. Thanks to Kate and her great team. We would highly recommend them.
Kate has amazing talent. I did a consult with her for my new build and it was very laid back and super helpful for my needs such as hardware, paint and lighting selections. I will definitely use her for my future design needs. Her office is beautiful!
We had a master bathroom suite added and remodeled the kitchen to our farmhouse! Kate was terrific in handling details and choices! She is honest, hardworking, at the top of design ideas and delightful to work with!! Highly recommended! 👍🏼 Donna Dubbelde
We are in the middle of our renovation and I am continually impressed with their responsiveness. Stay tuned for the final project pictures!
Kate's guided us through two bathroom remodels. Kate made the process of choosing fixtures, tile, cabinetry, paint and lighting, painless. We are enjoying our beautiful new bathrooms.
Kate did wonderful and put me in contact with an awesome company that also helped with installing blinds and shades. She is very talented and also has the connections to talented people! Kate Irmen gets a 5+ rating in my book!
I have been working with Kate Irmen interiors over the past year on a couple room remodel projects in my house. These projects have been long over due. I needed someone to guide me thru the process. Kate was fantastic! Easy to work with, full of ideas and was willing to work within the budgets we had set. I can tell you what I like but I can't put the ideas together. Kate was great about guiding me to the choices that would be right for me and my home. I LOVE how the rooms have turned out and I am so happy that I reached out to Kate. She is not only terrific at her job, I now feel like I have a new friend!
Kate is the absolute best to work with! She is so patient and kind. She takes the time to get to know her customers and their likes/dislikes. Her eye for style is top-notch. It has been such an amazing experience to work with her. She takes the stress out of designing a space. I would highly recommend Kate Irmen Interiors.
