Karen Kempf Interiors

Very pleased with Karen and her team (Amanda). We did a complete remodel of master bath. Karen and Amanda, with their expertise and talents, helped guide us through the selection process and decision making of all bathroom items. Beautiful!! Would definitely use them again!

We recently designed a new home in Milwaukee and were fortunate to have Karen Kempf Interiors as a design partner. From the very beginning, Karen and team demonstrated their commitment to collaboration, which helped set the tone for a successful and smooth process through to the end.

I used Karen when we built our house with Moore Design and I was extremely happy with her! She lets you have your own opinion and work within your preferences, but steers you in the right direction when needed. She doesn't push or force any of her ideas on you and doesn't overcharge for her great services.

Karen worked on our house in Whitefish Bay during 2016. It was a gut rehab and addition. She was professional in every sense of the word be it arriving on time, returning calls, responding to emails, or addressing the issues that come with a project of this nature. In our case there were many challenges in which her help and insight resulted in solutions to vexing problems. Her style is such that she provides her expert opinion, but is more than willing to listen and work with you to come up with a solution that is best for you. Her resources within the industry are first class and reputable, like herself. We would highly recommend her as well as her design associate, Kendall, based on our project.

Karen has exceptional ability in design and vision. Her credentials are stellar - a degree from FIDM San Francisco. She has exposure from personal experience on the east and west coast bringing her vast knowledge of state of the art style and design directly to her clientelle. Her wealth of knowledge and exposure to a plethora of looks and creative design from furniture to textiles to lighting fixtures to a wide range of architectural styles, she creates a look that is uniquely beautiful. She has been written up in magazines (M Magazine and Milwaukee Magazine) and featured in different social media platforms such as West Elm, Jeff Lewis Design and Kravet Furniture. I have enjoyed working with Karen and this is the fourth project I have hired her for - truly creative and makes the project really fun!

Karen is extremely fun to work with! Her knowledge of building, design, and ability to work with many different styles makes her extremely versatile in the industry. Karen listens well to the customer and designs from their own personal style and personality. I have worked on three projects with Karen, two in my own home and one, for my daughter and her husband and Karen was able to work in both budgets accordingly. The results in all three projects were above all our dreams! Karen has a great eye for color and texture, and not only the furniture but from rugs to drapes to pillows all that blend together in an interesting and unique way for each project. My only wish is to continue finding projects to enjoy working on with Karen!

We have been working with Karen Kempf Interiors to assist our customers in their design selections for their new homes and major remodels. Karen and her team are consummate professionals. She is very organized, which assists our customers in making selections quicker, and she has a fabulous eye for design. Karen provides timely and thorough follow up. Overall, she and her team are such a pleasure to work with!

We moved into a new construction home that was significantly larger than our prior home and wanted to fill the space appropriately while also having a vision to pull it together. Karen and team have been fantastic in meeting with us to understand our lifestyle, visit our home and look at existing pieces and make recommendations with options. We have leveraged them for design in the family room and dining room. They've pulled together livable and beautiful spaces, all while being considerate of our budget and timing. It was our first time using an interior design expert and we are so happy we found Karen! The hardest part was waiting for the pieces to be delivered!

I am so thrilled that our new home builder introduced us to Karen and her team. We are currently in the middle of making all of our selections for our new home and we couldn't be happier with the help we've received from Karen and her team. They are both professional and personable. They have the perfect balance of challenging us in our selections while still maintaining our overall style. I'm amazed at their talent and how they have been able to keep us within our budget without compromising any style! They have been great communicators and encouragers in my indecisiveness and my many questions. Karen and her team definitely deserve my highest rating. They have helped make building a home with 4 young children so much fun and seamless. I'm so grateful for their help and expertise! Thanks Karen and Kendall!

Karen was invaluable to us as we started to plan our remodel. Despite being in another state, we were able to work together virtually very successfully. She brought great ideas and creative ways to solve our problems. We would work with her over and over again, and we recommend her to all of our friends.

I recently worked with Karen on a complete living room interior design. We literally had an empty room and no major ideas. To start, Karen is extremely professional and responsive. She met with us to see the space and discuss our tastes, budget, and most importantly she wanted an idea of how our family functioned and what the space would be used for. She then came up with 3 possible floorplans and immediately we felt that she really was able to tune into our sense of style and likes. She worked with us on picking individual items and kept the whole style and feel of the room cohesive. Her associates and everyone that she recommended working with were professional and did amazing work. The finished room looks absolutely beautiful; she exceeded our expectations and everyone who walks into our house comments on how much they love the room. We will continue to work with Karen on upcoming projects and could not recommend her more highly.

I can not say enough wonderful things about my experience with Karen! Karen is the perfect combination of a great eye with an ability to understand my needs. We were a terrific team and she worked so well with my architect . Anyone would be lucky to work with Karen. Creative, professional and a wonderful end result. Bravo!
