**★★★★★ — HU-520957438, May 2020**

> I needed help making my house look like a home.  I don’t have much of a design style.  Kristin helped me figure out what I liked and really what my style is, she did all the shopping and brought items my home needed. She hired and worked with a contractor to have my cabinets redone.  She also picked paint colors for the painter for the inside and outside of my home.  My home looks amazing, my friends all want to hire her now!

**★★★★★ — Tracy Laskos, June 2018**

> Interior Motifs has been one of the best decisions I have made as a homeowner.  Not only was Kristen professional but she is beyond amazing in her inspirational design and coordination of colors and design.  She transformed one of our bedrooms from my daughter's playroom into a preteen lounge - exceeded our wildest dreams! I will return to Interior Motifs every time I have a home project!!! Kristen, you are truly the BEST!

**★★★★★ — Kristy Duffey, Dec. 2017**

> We bought a home in Scottsdale and wanted to find an expert to help us decorate our new home. We found Kristen and she has been so incredibly awesome.
> She managed this project while we were living in Maryland. I can’t say enough about how great she was to work with.
> I love love everything she has done and I’m grateful that we found her.
> She is the BEST!

**★★★★★ — Cindy Aman, March 2017**

> Being from out of state we were very lucky to find Kristen with Interior Motifs. She worked with the paint, lighting, and rugs, and then the furniture, art and accessories.  She transformed our house into something we love and managed the whole project while we were absent!  Awesome job and I highly recommend her!

> Our family just adores Kristen.  Kristen has patiently worked with my husband and I for several years. Kristen has transformed our cookie cutter house into a beautiful home. She is truly an amazing, heartfelt, trustworthy, professional, creative and talented designer. She is kind, courteous, and attentive. Kristen is interested in getting to know everyone who lives in the house, including your pet.
>
> These individual relationships help her to uniquely and personally create a stylish home for you and your loved ones.  She will help you decorate with confidence and style. Kristen will also challenge you.  Trust her.  She will create spaces that you thought you couldn’t have or afford.  She uses paint, décor, lighting, furniture, linens, art and accessories to transform your space.  Her recommendations, original ideas, tricks, and tips will inspire you to never give up your idea of having a dream home.
>
> Whatever your project/ budget; no matter how big or small,: please call Kristen.  I would never hire anyone else for my remodeling or decorating needs. If we moved from Arizona and bought a new home; I would not hire a new decorator; I would fly Kristen in and watch her transform that house into our home.
>
>  My husband and I thoroughly enjoy entertaining and relaxing in our home; beautifully decorated by Kristen Ketterson , owner of Interior Motifs.
>
> The last room we did was our master bedroom.  My husband said,  “I love our room.  It’s so relaxing. This was a good call. ” Friends who tour our home say, “Wow! Where did you get that? Etc..” I always give the credit to Kristen. We could not have done it without her.  I could go on and on…but if you hire Kristen…I promise your heart will sing when others comment on your home.  Don’t wait…call her for a consultation…you won’t be disappointed.

**★★★★★ — kylekledis, Sept. 2016**

> We learned of Kristen Ketterson after being highly recommended by a former client of hers. It was a pleasure working with Kristen. She exhibits professionalism, attention to detail, and most importantly style.

**★★★★★ — rademirjian, Feb. 2016**

> We purchased a second home in cave creek that ended up being a much larger job then expected.  Interior motifs not only furnished the home, but managed the remodel for us, as we were only able to fit short visits into our schedule. It turned out fantastic!

**★★★★★ — duncanstreet47, Oct. 2015**

> Kristen is honest and creative with really great insight for working with all personalities and taste.  Thank you Kristen for everything and all of your hard work and devotion to our project.  We couldn't be happier with our new home!

**Comment from Interior Motifs:**

> Thank you so much Allisa it was a pleasure working with you and Bob!

**★★★★★ — randydanddawnc, Sept. 2015**

> We hired Kristen with Interior Motifs to redo our great room and kitchen!  We absolutely loved how it turned out, so much we had her redo our entire home. Kristen is excellent at putting together paint colors, coordinating fabrics, and furnishings.  She makes it look so easy and I'll be the first to say I know It Is Not.  Without any hesitation whatsoever we highly recommend Kristen if you are thinking about hiring an Interior Designer.

**★★★★★ — kenny\_h, May 2014**

> Kristen with Interior Motifs was a pleasure to work with. She exhibits a very warm personality combined with an incredible eye for design and color. She is honest and reasonable for the level of expertise she provides. Without hesitation we would highly recommend Kristen for any of your design needs.

**★★★★★ — v valdez, May 2014**

> When my husband and I purchased our first home I had many decorating ideas, but soon realized it was much harder to make it all come together than I thought.  Between deciding on color schemes to utilizing wall space, Kristen helped me bring my dream home to life while making it very easy and simple for me to understand. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of interior design.

**★★★★★ — crconsult, Jan. 2013**

> We had a great experience with this company.  Kristen was referred to us by a group of friends that worked with her in the past.  She is an outstanding designer very knowledgeable and confident, very lovely lady...

## Community Q&A

**Q: Question** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is a side board?

A: A Sideboard is long low cabinet sometimes called buffet or credenza!  It can be used many ways but I was thinking on each side of fireplace

**Q: How to define my dining/living areas in an open floor plan?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Not sure what to put on my light gray wall behind the dining table to define this space. Also thinking about a round or rectangular area rug (neutral, gray or teal) under dining table. Accent decor color is teal. Appreciate any suggestions for the entire space.

A: How about some really cool large old wooden doors or panels!!!!

**Q: Need help with fireplace mantel!!** *(in Design Dilemma)*

So I found this art work to put above the fireplace mantel and now I'm not sure what else or if I need anything more to bring in a finished look to the area... what are ur thoughts? I will hang the art eventually and will remove the candles too.. TIA

A: Similar fireplace idea!  Large mirror above fireplace will make the room look more grand!  Purchased mirror at Z Gallerie approx 75&quot; tall.  Also add fireplace screen.

**Q: Lg Aria Quartz???** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Unable to fine a subtle white granite for our new kitchen.  Would like any input on using this Lg Aria Quartz countertop with our maple canvas Kraftmaid cabinets with a cherry peppercorn island.  Thoughts?

A: I would suggest not using the same material as the backsplash. Depending on the look you are going for you might want to try 4 x 4 tumbled travertine  in Torreon or Crema or try 3x6 for subway pattern!

**Q: Wall colors** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you tell me the wall colors here?  I love the combination.  Thank you.

A: Thank you.  The darker wall is Dunn Edwards Warm Butterscotch and the lighter wall is DE Weathered Coral.  The niche is Ralph Lauren Tapestry.

**Q: So beautiful, what color green is on the walls?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Thank you.  The color is Sherwin Williams Portico.
