She was extremely professional and offered great ideas. What’s not on her resume is that she’s a mind reader, literally presents ideas that you were thinking. If I ever build a house again, I will only use Karen. She’s amazing at working with budgets and offering great alternatives. I’ve worked with other local tile companies and she’s superior to them all. If you are looking for someone detail oriented, this is who you want to use! **Comment from Karen Koester Interiors:** > Thank you so much for your input, you were fun to work with, as well. **★★★★★ — Ted Stone, Jan. 2019** > Karen is a delight to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable and hands on through the project to make sure things are done well and to a high standard. This is the second time working with Karen and her company. My wife and I wouldn't go to anyone else, we highly recommend Karen Koester Interiors. **Comment from Karen Koester Interiors:** > Ted and Megan > You two made your project fun. Can't wait till I are ready to build again. > Thank you for taking the time to review me. > Karen Koester **★★★★★ — LiLi Cement Tiles, Nov. 2018** > Karen is an absolute pleasure to work with! She has used our products on several projects and has quite an exquisite eye for design. Her professionalism, punctuality, and general positive demeanor is a joy to work with every day! If you should ever be so lucky as to work with Karen, you are guaranteed to be incredibly pleased. Thank you Karen for making our tiles look so good! **Comment from Karen Koester Interiors:** > Love your company and planning on selling a lot of your product, there are so many places this awesome cement tile can go. The best news many are stocked in this country. **★★★★★ — User, Sept. 2018** > We are currently renovating our home, and Karen is currently working with us and she has been absolutely wonderful! I needed someone to help with the endless decisions, choices and possibilities of what needed to be completed. Karen is always available and very responsive to my emails, texts, and phone calls. > > She has been an enormous help and I can’t thank her enough for all the time, effort, patience, and wonderful designs she has helped me with. I greatly value her thoughts and opinions; I look forward to continue working with her on my current project and on future projects as well. > > I highly recommend her! **★★★★★ — Jon Liebenthal, Aug. 2018** > Karen was amazing. She was very creative and was mindful of our budget. Would highly recommend her for any interior design work. We couldn't have been happier. **Comment from Karen Koester Interiors:** > Thank you so much, Deb and Jon, it was great fun working with the two of you. Look forward to posting some great photos. **★★★★★ — Julie Romanoff, Oct. 2017** > Karen has a terrific eye for color and has helped me with several projects over the years. The most recent was a redo of the family room,including new flooring in the majority of the downstairs. She also guided me through a redo of the master closet, updates to the master bath and kitchen. She really listens to the client's ideas, and helps guide the project so in the end it looks like my masterpiece!...I will work with her again. Thanks, Karen. **★★★★★ — Mary Himmelein, June 2017** > I have worked with Karen on different projects for over 20 years. Recently she helped me update/remodel my kitchen. As always, I am thrilled with the results. She helped me pick everything out and coordinated with the different contractors to get the project done. She was flexible in meeting with me outside my work schedule. Her store is full of product and ideas so it was easy to find the right tile(s) for the backsplash. What I always appreciate is that when the project is done, it looks like "me" and not just something a designer dreamed up! **★★★★★ — reiema, Jan. 2016** > Karen literally coordinated everything in our new home....she has a fabulous knack for color but suggests diplomatically. She is open to what YOU want, not what she wants but also guides you in a way that everything just seems to come together. Her resources from tile to carpet to window treatments to accessories allowed us to create what we feel is a very friendly home with our "treasures" worked in beautifully. She's the best! **★★★★★ — Lynn McCarty, Dec. 2015** > WOW is what most people say as they walk through the front door of our downtown loft. > Staying true to the warehouse feel and blending styles to turn into a warm and welcoming home was achieved through great color choices, tile work, carpet selections, window treatments, accent furniture and our showpiece; a custom designed 12 foot x 12 foot bookcase/entertainment center. > > Karen listened to our goal of blending the old with the new and most importantly she kept us within our budget. We could not have been happier with the craftsmen Karen hired for all our installations and custom carpentry work. > > Thank you Karen Koester Interiors for helping us transform our warehouse loft into our beautiful home! **★★★★★ — danberrydeb, Aug. 2015** > The Service I received was over the top! Karen took her time with me making sure I was comfortable and happy with my selection. I didn't feel rushed and I valued her Keen eye for design! > She worked within my budget. > My new flooring is breathtaking! Her installers were professional and on TIME! > I have since referred my friends and clients to Karen. > You just don't get this kind of "Service" in the BIG BOX stores! > > Debbie Lin Katich > The Danberry Company **★★★★★ — Robert Moran, July 2015** > Karen was instrumental in turning a 1920 house badly in need of restoration into a beautiful home. She used her expertise to help us chose gorgeous marble and quartzite for the bathrooms, kitchen, yoga studio, and 4 seasons room and yet remain true to the character of the home. She has an exceptional eye for color and basically chose colors to complement our art work and surroundings. We love Karen and would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone who is creative and pleasant to work with. **★★★★★ — Janice Harris, July 2015** > Karen has been very helpful. Her suggestions for decorating have been very important to me. I had a master bathroom totally renovated and her plan and use of colors and design were great. I have enjoyed the end results from the very excellent "subs" she provided for electrical, tile, and finishing touches. I have moved to another state, and she was able to design and help direct the process of a complete makeover of the master bathroom 200 miles away. She even drove supplies to my new location. that was above and beyond most designers. ## Selected projects - [Maumee Master Bath Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maumee-master-bath-remodel-pj-vj~1966467) - Location: Maumee, OH - Photos: 9 - [Sylvania New Construction](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sylvania-new-construction-pj-vj~1002375) - Location: Sylvania, OH - Photos: 2 - Description: Karen Koester Interiors Photography by Thomas Ethington - [Dining Area](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dining-area-pj-vj~1002377) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: Karen Koester Interiors Photography by Thomas Ethington - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathrooms-pj-vj~1002376) - Location: Maumee, OH - Photos: 14 - Description: Karen Koester Interiors Photography by Thomas Ethington - [Family & Living Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-and-living-rooms-pj-vj~1002379) - Location: Monclova, OH - Photos: 2 - Description: Karen Koester Interiors Photography by Thomas Ethington - [Bedrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bedrooms-pj-vj~1002378) - Location: Northwood, OH - Photos: 3 - Description: Karen Koester Interiors Photography by Thomas Ethington - [A pretty house in Sylvania township](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-pretty-house-in-sylvania-township-pj-vj~1966445) - Location: Sylvania, OH - Photos: 8 - [Other](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/other-pj-vj~1002370) - Location: Oregon, OH - Photos: 11 - Description: Karen Koester Interiors Photography by Thomas Ethington - [Backsplash](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/backsplash-pj-vj~1966494) - Location: Ottawa Hills, OH - Photos: 3 - [Doors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/doors-pj-vj~1002380) - Location: Perrysburg, OH - Photos: 2 - Description: Karen Koester Interiors Photography by Thomas Ethington - [My design studio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/my-design-studio-pj-vj~2089040) - Location: Toledo, OH - Photos: 3 - [Hunter Douglas Window Coverings](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hunter-douglas-window-coverings-pj-vj~6133539) - Location: Toledo, OH - Photos: 20 - [Back splashes at a glance](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/back-splashes-at-a-glance-pj-vj~4045157) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 [See all 13 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/karen-koester-interiors-pfvwus-pf~1040571700) ## Ideabooks - [Exterior Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/73730618/list/exterior-ideas) — 2 ideas - [Transitional kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/92682486/list/transitional-kitchens) — 1 idea [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/karenkoester) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
