Home by Hattan

Karen was able to recreate our space into a vision of what we hoped it could be. We are beyond thrilled with the finished product. The color choices made our space feel bigger, more up-to-date, and more cozy.

Karen came in person on two different occasions to give us ideas for updating two rooms in our home. She sent us 9 different design plans for adding or replacing items for each room or changing colors. The design plan enabled us to click on the item and go to the site to purchase it. Karen is friendly, easy to work with, and resourceful.

"Michael and I are so happy Karen helped us. The color she recommended lightened up the look of the baseboards! We didn't think it was possible. The walls and baseboards...together...make a feeling of peace and calm. Karen took a near disaster and made it a comfortable, welcoming and pleasing house. (We like the colors so well we painted the whole house taupe.)"

When I moved to Tennessee this past summer, I bought a home to renovate and put my own personal style in it. However, being new to the area and having no renovation or design experience, I contacted a local construction company, who highly recommended Karen. She was extremely helpful in developing a design plan and giving me the steps needed to implement the plan. Karen has a wealth of resources and contacts, which she shared with me as I took on the project management. She gave me guidance on how to spend wisely – where to splurge and where to save so I could get the best value. Karen exceeded my expectations as she empowered me to update my kitchen and make my fireplace a beautiful feature in my home! I appreciate her knowledge of the industry and her flexibility on my project, providing a range of solutions to fit my budget. I fully recommend Karen whether you are new to the area or have lived here a long time. It is worthwhile to hire a trusted professional with sound advice, especially when tackling a renovation!

My husband and I have lived in our home for 20 years, since the house was built, and had never worked with an interior designer before. We are now retired and spending more time at home, but realized our home lacked the cozy, comfortable and relaxing at home feeling we wanted. Karen worked with us to update our style without renovations or demolition! With her creative expertise, we are updating the heart of our home – the family room, which is open to our dining room and kitchen. Karen’s ideas are thoughtful and cohesive, and she is an expert with color selection. I appreciate her confidence and guidance throughout this process. My husband and I are excited for the new look and we are highly anticipating hosting family and friends in our home. I have already recommended Karen to others and would use her again!

I highly recommend Karen Hattan for your next interior design or re-design project! Karen began helping me almost a year ago...and we have continued working together throughout the Pandemic. All of us have spent lots of time at home in 2020 and we should all love life at our home! I do!! Thank you Karen. She has helped me update, personalize, and create many stylish comfortable and fun rooms throughout my home. From my regal retreat master bedroom and bath, striking board and batten peacock blue inspired office, kitchen, great room and even a woodland Adventureland bedroom for my grandsons. Karen even went the extra mile to seek out and select items for their special needs. She is an exceptional listener who communicates delightfully designed spaces personally tailored to her clients lifestyles. Karen is a color expert and has an eye for creating cohesiveness throughout a home. She is also patient when you have so many options you like and take a while to decide... I have happily referred her to members of my family and they are as thrilled as I have been working with Karen. You’ll be thrilled and love your new space too!!

As a Real Estate Professional, having a wonderful home stager is invaluable. Karen of Home By Hattan works with my sellers to stage all of my listings prior to their home going on the market. She does a great job in working with a variety of personalities which can be an every emotional process for sellers. Karen does a great job helping them detach from their home and personal belongings to move beyond in preparing house for market. Many sellers love her work so much they hire Karen to help with room design in the home they purchase.

Karen Hattan made our move to Nashville effortless by ordering and installing everything so all we had to do was show up. If you are setting up a house from afar, I HIGHLY recommend Karen for her beautiful taste, strong organization, and ability to get things done and completely take the stress away. She is a JOY to work with, and I wholeheartedly recommend her ... you can't go wrong with Karen.

Karen is a super talented, versatile designer and pays close attention to detail in every room she stages! She is awesome to work with, and treats each client's home as if it were her own. She has an eye for great design and knows how to work within a client's budget to make it happen! I love working with her and highly recommend her to the Nashville, Brentwood Community!

Hiring a decorator seems like a luxury, but working with Karen on multiple projects in my home, from a simple refresh to a large renovation, saved me both time and money in the long run. Karen helped me find my style right away, was conscious of my budget, and was so reliable that I even trusted her to work directly with my contractor and make design decisions for me. I loved it that Karen used her expertise to choose statement pieces paired with more affordable items for my home, knowing where to spend and where to save. Because she helped me “get it right the first time,” I see myself keeping the pieces and the current look of my home for years to come! Reisha W.

Working with Karen was a wonderful experience from start to finish. She quickly grasped my style and color preferences, helped me understand scale and layout, and encouraged me to think outside the box. She was respectful of my budget and time and kept me focused throughout the project. The end result is beautiful. Everyone who comes into my home compliments the space, and it makes us happy every day!

I met Karen while attending The Decorologist's EPS (Expert Psychological Staging) Course, and enjoy being a member of the Greater Nashville Chapter of RESA with her. The dedication to her clients and her projects is evident in every project she completes!
