About Kaila
Thoughtful Interior Design, Beautifully Woven Together
As a Southwest Florida interior designer with more than 30 years of experience, I’ve homeowners, builders, and business owners create spaces that function beautifully. In addition, my experience includes custom homes, home renovations, and kitchen and bath remodeling. I also work on commercial interiors, paint color consultations, window treatments, and finish selections.
Every project begins by listening. From there, I take the time to understand how you live, work, and use your space before recommending layouts, materials, furnishings, lighting, and color palettes. As a result, my goal is to create interiors that reflect your lifestyle while adding lasting comfort, beauty, and value.
My Interior Design Process
Every project starts with a personal design consultation. We’ll discuss your goals and how you want your home or business to feel. In addition, we’ll also talk about your style, budget, and timeline. From there, I develop a customized design plan. It may include space planning, paint color consultation, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, lighting, furnishings, window treatments, and final selections.
As the project moves forward, I coordinate with builders, contractors, and trusted tradespeople. As a result, this helps keep each phase organized and on schedule. Whether you’re building a custom home or remodeling a kitchen or bath, I guide you through each decision. Likewise, the same approach applies to renovations and commercial interiors. You’ll have clear communication and careful attention to detail throughout the project.
From our first meeting to the final walkthrough, my focus stays on creating a home that works for you. I want each space to feel welcoming and reflect the way you live.
Most importantly, every detail should work together. The result is a home you’ll enjoy for years to come.
Experience as a Southwest Florida Interior Designer
Throughout my career, I’ve worked as a residential and commercial paint color consultant with both Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. I help clients choose colors that complement their architecture, natural light, furnishings, and finishes.
From whole-home color palettes to kitchens, baths, offices, and retail spaces, I consider how colors connect from one area to the next. This creates a color scheme that brings the entire space together.
Window treatments have also been an important part of my design work. I have extensive experience with Hunter Douglas and Graber products, including plantation shutters, woven wood shades, honeycomb shades, roller shades, motorized window treatments, and custom draperies. Working with skilled Southwest Florida workrooms, I design custom soft window treatments, Roman shades, bedding, valances, and decorative accents that add beauty, privacy, and everyday function.
Texture adds warmth and personality to a space. I work with premium wallcoverings, including handcrafted designs from Valhallan, as well as specialty decorative finishes from Faux Effects, RX Create, and LusterStone. These artisan materials create distinctive feature walls and ceilings that add depth, character, and timeless appeal to custom homes, luxury renovations, and commercial interiors.
Every successful project depends on collaboration. Throughout my career, I’ve worked closely with architects, builders, contractors, artisans, and skilled trades to ensure each design is carried through with care and precision. Clear communication and thoughtful planning help every project move smoothly from concept to completion.
Whether you’re building a custom home, remodeling a kitchen or bath, renovating an existing home, or designing a commercial interior, my goal is always the same: to create spaces that are functional, timeless, and thoughtfully woven together, with every detail supporting the way you live and work.
Artistic Partnerships
Collaborating with Local Artists
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with many talented local artists to create one-of-a-kind murals, commissioned artwork, and custom decorative finishes for homes and commercial interiors. These artistic partnerships bring character, craftsmanship, and originality to every project.
For example, whether it’s a hand-painted mural, a custom art installation, or a specialty decorative finish, each piece is thoughtfully selected to complement the architecture, furnishings, and personality of the space. The result is an interior that feels timeless, personal, and unlike any other.
