Improving One Room at a Time

Our True Passion

Whether we are consulting how to stage a house to sell, decorating a short-term rental or updating a room with decor, we work on the basis of ‘Keep it Simple.’ Our goal is to approach each unique space with stylish interior solutions that will accentuate the rooms’ positive features. That “WOW” feeling is important to us with every room we decorate.

Preparing a home to sell, decorating a house to live in, or furnishing a short-term rental, we work closely with our client’s goals to create an ambiance that stimulates positive impressions.

We build lasting relationships

What Our Clients Say

“I had recently listed a home and had given Karen's name to the homeowners because we thought staging would be helpful. She more than exceeded our expectations and transformed the home without them having to spend a lot of money. We had an accepted offer on the home if a very short time.”
Chris SBH&G Realtor Warwick, NY

“Karen from Design Solutions KGP is truly a professional and has an amazing eye for design. My builder was in need of a staging company for one of our spec homes. Prospective buyers were having a difficult time visualizing how furniture would fit. She staged the home with furniture, area rugs, and decorations...the house came to life, in less than 15 days, I have an offer! I would definitely recommend Design Solutions KGP!”
Beata CProperty Manager, Wildflowers Community

“Karen is a professional with exceptional skills. She was able to discern what was needed in each room of the house and execute the changes necessary. Karen was able to use what I had in different place through the house which made more sense. She also sources items that are tasteful and inexpensive. Her results are remarkable! I am extremely pleased with the results. I only wish I had known of her services sooner!”
Debbie HWarwick, NY Homeowner

“Karen was able to clearly envision each room as it should be. She very patiently guided me through decision choices that gave each room appeal. Karen has a true talent in home décor and her candor is refreshing. If you are thinking of updating any of your rooms with simple yet dramatic improvements, Karen is the person with whom you want to work.”
Lisa BStyling Client, Eastchester, NY

“...As you might imagine, once we put the house on the market, we were swept up into a whirlwind of non-stop activity! We had an offer within just a few weeks of listing, from one of the first prospective buyers to come through. They saw 36 homes in one weekend and fell in love with ours, saying it was far and above the nicest one they had seen. Thank you for all your help!”
Nora RMontobello, NY Homeowner

“You really helped us showcase our house. The buyers said "all of our things will fit quite well in this space." If we had not followed your recommendations I really believe that they would not have made an offer so quickly. Thank you for your time and help, getting our house sold.”
Brandon IPort Jervis, NY Homeowner

“Karen was a joy to work with. Where I was overwhelmed and apprehensive, she was confident and reassuring. Professional and approachable, she staged our home in a way we can live with. It looks like our home, not a showroom.”
Valerie LWarwick, NY Homeowner

“Karen is wonderful to work with. She offered common sense and affordable ways to stage our house for listing. I actually like our house better, and our realtor has commented several times how buyers love it!”
Marian CWarwick, NY Homeowner
