Barbara Krai Interior Design

Wow! I don't know where to begin... having Barbara Krai design, consult and manage our project was the best decision of the hundreds we had to make over the course of the project. Barbara is a consummate professional and wants / expects nothing but perfection - from herself, our decisions and most importantly the contractors working on the job. She was able to take the dream of converting our dark wood, cabinet heavy vacation home and create the amazing inter-coastal escape you see in these pictures. Barbara's vision and her attention to every single detail no matter how big or small was exactly what we needed since this was a long distance project for us. She was in constant communication, worked tirelessly and sent us daily pictures on the progress to keep us up to date. We couldn't have done it without her and are happy with every decision that was made along the way, the quality of work by her and her oversight of the trades. We always felt engaged and whenever we made changes or had an idea she made it happen in the best way possible. Barbara was such a pleasure to work with, she brought great experience and vision to our project. Her ability to work with furniture, lighting, color and materials to bring it all together was perfect. She took a good space and make it great, we absolutely love our updated home that is light bright, airy and much more relaxing than we ever could have hoped for. All thanks to Barbara.

We truly enjoyed working with Barbara Krai on decorating our formal living and dining rooms. She is a very knowledgeable and experienced designer, with a unique talent and an amazing eye for details. Barbara created an awesome space for us, better than we could ever imagine. We definitely will recommend Barbra’s services and would love to work with her again. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish.

"I recently referred Barbara to a long time friend of mine who had just moved here from another state. I had just met Barbara, but was so impressed with her style and easy manner, I knew she would work well with my friend. Now that the project is complete, I know I made the right referral. My friend’s condo looks amazing - full of color and light - and he loves it!"

Barbara is an excellent interior designer coordinstor. She exemplified true professionalism and knowledgeable skills for passion. I would definitely recommend her to all my friends and family seeking a interior design coordinator.

When we decided it was time to explore renovating our kitchen, we called Barbara. She had been highly recommended by our neighbor who had Barbara manage their extensive renovation - and we loved the results next door. However, we were a little unsure of what kind of improvements could be accomplished within our existing walls. So we were very pleased when Barbara offered us the opportunity to start with her designing an initial plan so we could determine if the improvements would be worth the hassle and investment. Barbara presented us with detailed drawings that were easy to understand and we were very excited to see the creative ideas she incorporated to meet our goals and greatly improve our kitchen. We now love, love, love our new kitchen. Everything is easier. The new layout takes full advantage of our bank of windows for a beautiful water view. Barbara was very diplomatic throughout the process and worked well with multiple trades on the site. We highly recommend Barbara as a highly skilled renovation expert, easy to work with, detailed oriented and very creative. She improved our kitchen in a way that we never even imagined!

It was a pleasure to work with Barbara again on an interior design project in our home. it was time for updating our large family room, so we turned to this fine professional who had helped make our home beautiful in the past. Once again, Barbara worked tirelessly to make sure the outcome exceeded our expectations. Our newly refurbished room is, in a word, awesome, due to her hard work. Wall coverings, furniture, fabrics, leather easy chair for me, accessories, all are perfect. Barbara has our highest recommendation. We won't hesitate to call on her again. Great job, done on time, and in budget. We look forward to our next project with her.

We worked with Barbara on a beautiful safety harbor house. She has a great eye for colors and textures. She worked great with us and the home owner and was on top of entire project. We would love to work with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone else.

After working with Barbara for the past three years on many home projects, we could not imagine ever trying to do anything without hiring her! Her experience and attention to detail is very evident in all that she does. She is an excellent communicator and has wonderful follow through. Barbara has managed some large renovation projects for us and also helped with small accessory details. Barbara's wealth of knowledge, combined with her ability to listen well to our families wants and needs, has helped us create the perfect house that is uniquely ours, and we are proud to call home :)

I am a finish carpenter who has worked side by side with Barbara for over 2 years. She has been very attentive to details and has incredible designs. I can say that my clients love her. She stays in direct communication with the client and the contractor. At the end of the day, I can say that Barbara makes sure that her clients are happy. It has been a pleasure working with her.

Barbara Krai has helped me with a couple projects. The first was a bathroom remodel where her advice was immeasurable. We used the same basic footprint to control costs but made a few structural changes. Those together with the finishes turned the bathroom into a showplace! I had been struggling with a 26 ft wall in my family room for 10 years. Barbara's suggestions together with suggestions on how to dress my wall of windows were creative and gorgeous. Her subs were all fantastic. She listened to me, was sensitive to my tastes, and her work is magnificent. I highly recommend her to anyone.

I am a builder of high end homes and I've been working wiht Barbara for over 10 years. She has been exemplary in her work and design. Every job has come in on time and on budget, and the results have been amazying. I credit her with a having a signifigant impact on our ability to sucessfull market and sell our homes. Bottom Line - Barbara is extremely good at what she does!

We worked with Barbara on one of her recent projects. Her overall design was such a joy to bring to life. She is very attentive to every detail for her clients and has such an impeccable taste. We highly recommend her to anyone who has a project they are thinking about doing and we look forward to working with her in the future again. She will certainly be assisting us with our own personal home design.
