For me, design is more than my profession. It’s what I love. I’m excited to partner with homeowners to reimagine kitchens and bathrooms, and to elevate interiors through thoughtful paint selections and curated furnishings. I thrive on the creative process and the relationships built along the way, helping clients turn ideas into inspiring, functional spaces they’re proud to call home. I started dh Design Studio in 2018 with a clear vision: to build a quality, distinctive brand that stands apart from the “big name” designers. I wanted to create something more personal, more approachable, and more creatively flexible. My goal is to offer clients thoughtful options that go beyond trends and expectations, spaces that feel original, inspired, and uniquely theirs. Let’s create something exceptional together. At dh Design, our mission is to deliver distinctive, high-quality interiors tailored to your vision. If you’re located anywhere in the greater Kansas City area, I invite you to reach out and discover how we can bring your next design project to life! ### Services Provided - Interior Design - Kitchen Design - Bathroom Design - Living Room Design - Bedroom Design - Color Consulting - Furniture Selection - Kids Bedroom Design - Dining Room Design - Custom Cabinets - Lighting Design - Custom Kitchen Cabinets - Home Office Design & Construction - Custom Built-ins - Design Consultation - Floor Plans - Entry Design - Custom Bathroom Vanities - Custom Furniture - Laundry Room Design - Custom Blinds & Shades - House Plans - Custom Home Bars - Art Selection - Closet Design - Guesthouse Design & Construction - 3D Rendering - Basement Design - Custom Bookcases - Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) - Custom Walk-in Closets - Custom Entertainment Centers - Custom Fireplace Mantels - Home Theater Design - Custom Shelving - Custom Pantries - Home Staging - Holiday Decorating - Custom Table - Handicap-Accessible Design - Green Building - Energy-Efficient Homes - Attic Conversion - Decluttering - Custom Storage - Historic Building Conservation - Feng Shui Design - Garage Design - Garage Storage - Interior Design Photography ### Areas Served - Kansas City - Independence - East Independence - Lees Summit - Blue Springs - Liberty - Raytown - Gladstone - Parkville - North Kansas City - Riverside - Sugar Creek - Lake Lotawana - Pleasant Valley - Weatherby Lake - Claycomo - Lone Jack - Lake Waukomis - Lake Tapawingo - Leawood - Platte Woods - Glenaire - Houston Lake - Oakview - Avondale - Northmoor - Westwood - Oakwood Park - Oakwood - Birmingham - Oaks - Unity Village - Randolph - River Bend - Countryside - Edwardsville - Fairway - Lenexa - Merriam - Mission - MIssion Hills - Mission Woods - Overland Park - Prairie Village - Roeland Park - Shawnee - Shawnee Mission - Westwood Hills ### Typical Job Cost $10,000 - 500,000 $10,000 - 500,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | dh Design Studio | | Address | Raytown, Missouri 64133, United States | | Phone | (785) 550-1659 | | Website | http://www.dhdesign-studio.com | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/dhdesignstudioKC/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [dh Design Studio](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/dh-design-studio-pfvwus-pf~1639512887) - **Website:** http://www.dhdesign-studio.com - **Phone:** (785) 550-1659 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 1 award (2025), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 3 reviews** *Aspect averages:* - Work Quality: 50.0 - Communication: 50.0 - Value: 50.0 ### All 3 reviews **★★★★★ — Taellor Hammeke, July 2024** > Dusty's eye for detail and consideration for function and style makes his work speak for itself!
