Lighting Designers in Indianapolis

“Working with Catherine on our second home has been a pleasure and fun experience. We envisioned our home as the place for our family to gather—holidays, summers, and everything in between—and she understood exactly how important it was to me to create a beautiful and truly livable place. She has an incredible eye and a thoughtful, thorough design process. Catherine nailed my style preference and elevated it beyond my expectations, creating family-friendly rooms and spaces that are layered, inviting, and have an effortless traditional-modern feel. Catherine is so professional, organized, and hands-on —coordinating contractors, overseeing their work, and managing all aspects of furnishing and accessorizing. She makes what could be overwhelming feel easy and seamless. Especially since the work is being done while we are out of town. She brings a great, lively energy to what she does, and I feel confident that every detail is being handled with care. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

“Working with the Dovetail team over the past two years has been nothing short of outstanding. They guided us through three major projects—each one unique, complex, and transformative—and delivered results that exceeded our expectations at every step. Dovetail designed a stunning master bathroom renovation that completely reimagined the space, blending elegance, functionality, and craftsmanship. They then tackled a full basement redesign, creating a brand‑new bedroom, a larger and more functional office, and beautifully curated furnishing selections that made the entire lower level feel elevated and cohesive. But perhaps the most remarkable transformation was outside. Their architectural vision for our exterior—complete with a thoughtful new color palette and an expansive deck and patio design—turned our outdoor space into something truly spectacular. Throughout the entire process, the Dovetail team was patient, collaborative, and incredibly professional. Their expertise made the journey smooth, enjoyable, and inspiring. We genuinely could not have done any of this without their guidance and creativity. Thank you, Dovetail, for helping bring our home to life. We’re grateful for your partnership and thrilled with the results.”

“I never wanted a fixer upper, but after almost a year of looking, my husband and I decided it was our best chance of getting into the neighborhood we wanted. It had everything–good schools, kids running through the streets, block parties, and walkability to the local village. We were so excited to give our two daughters an amazing childhood that we closed on the house and hired a contracting company to help us remodel. I had no idea how overwhelming or time consuming the process would be. The contracting company provided an in-house designer. At our first meeting, she asked me if I had a Pinterest board, what my style was, and how I wanted to remodel my kitchen. I didn’t know the answer to any of these questions. I’d heard great things about Kelly Churney Design Studio and knew Kelly personally, so I hired her to work alongside the remodeling team to help make the process more manageable and hone in on what we wanted. As a stay at home mom with two young kids, I didn’t have the time or desire to look through Pinterest, shop for countertops, and finetune my style. Kelly was amazing from start to finish! She created a vision board and sent me pictures of kitchens with warm tones that I loved right away. She helped me to discover that my style was transitional and whenever I had any questions, she responded right away. This was a bigger home than we’d had in the past, so we were in need of a lot of new furniture, area rugs, and decor. Kelly helped us with room layout, created a cohesive vision for each space, and took care of ordering and delivery for us. She attended all the design meetings with the contracting company, shopped for countertops, and assisted with all of our selections. All the things that the contracting company lacked (communication, timeliness, customer service skills), Kelly excelled in. Seven months later, I couldn’t love my new home and kitchen more. It’s the perfect mix of warmth and style, beauty and functionality. I never could have done it without Kelly. She saved me from months of headaches and made an overwhelming process enjoyable. She truly has an eye for design and also listens to your input to give you the home that works for you. I hope everyone has a chance to work with Kelly!”
