Jamie Kern is a delight to work with. Jamie helped us design all the rooms and bathrooms in our new home, and we love the home we have – a perfect blend of aesthetics and functionality. We had no idea how to go about designing rooms or selecting materials. We hired Jamie at a friend’s recommendation early in the project. She skillfully guided us with the selections while meeting timelines for the project. She designed a kitchen I absolutely love, and the bathrooms are gorgeous. She also helped in selecting lighting, flooring, vanities, crown molding, mirrors, paints and several other details. She presented us with detailed layouts for bathrooms including lighting plans that were immensely useful to contractors. Though we hired her for interior work, she also provided her inputs on roof tile, entry door, patio tile, and exterior lighting selections. Jamie has a great eye for color and style. She is professional, fun to work with and took a personal interest in our project. We couldn’t be more pleased. I highly recommend her services.

Design Theory Interiors worked with our general contractor and us to design and execute a lighting and electrical plan, a color scheme, and a furniture plan for our sunroom addition. Jamie took the time to really pinpoint our style preferences and budget so she could present several appealing options for color scheme, furniture layout, and finishes. Working with Jamie was efficient because her first recommendation was always the perfect style choice - and within-budget, too. Her combination of extensive industry knowledge plus a sense-of-style that can only be described as gifted equips her to enter a room and immediately choose things like the wood floor and paint color without any second-guessing. She encouraged us to get out of our comfort zone, and the results are stunning; our sunroom is our favorite room of the house. We would work with her over and over again.

Jamie is a knowledgeable and talented professional interior designer. She is well-honed in her craft and her years of experience show. As the photographer for one of her projects, the flow felt smooth and fun because of her warm personality and her ability to stay on top of everything. She has a brilliant sense of detail and I would highly recommend her.

Jamie Kern is amazing! I worked with her in the Atlanta GA area for several years. I love her style, always coming up with a unique layout for every client. It can be a bit scary to bring in a rich color, but no one can make a more colorful statement with their designs than Jamie - imho. First class!

I can't say enough good things about Jamie Kern. She designed 5 rooms in our house and we love every one of them. The rooms look put together and well thought out. Her eye for design is amazing. Her knowledge about paint colors, heights of ceiling light fixtures, proper furniture layout, etc was incredible. She provides fabric samples. diagrams, and pictures while putting them into a well organized binder for you. She was a pleasure to work with, as well. Her positive attitude and flexibility were great! She was able to meet our budget and was very timely with emails. Jamie went above and beyond with our project and we are so glad we used her services. You won't regret it!!

We hired Design Theory Interiors to handle our extensive home addition and remodel. Jamie was extraordinarily professional and helpful. She listened carefully to our plans and wishes, then creatively designed a finished project that we are thrilled with. She showed us materials and colors that we never would have considered but in the end came together beautifully. I would highly recommend Jamie and Design Theory Interiors. Phil V

Jamie Kern was a dream to work with. She was fantastic with colors, textures, materials, furniture and window treatments. She did a wonderful job of merging our two unique styles ( husband and wife are never the same!) I would highly recommend her for any design work.

We are most pleased with Jamie and Design Theory Interiors! I first saw her work at a friends house and while I loved the transformation, the style was not ours. Jamie was able to take our style choices and design an exquisite master bedroom that matches us and makes me happy every time i walk in! The whole process went smoothly, she promptly handled all furniture/ fabric details, when the Manufacturer dropped the ball and is completely fair and trustworthy. I would highly recommend Jamie's and Design Theory to friends. Thanks Jack Clayton

Jamie really listened to my ideas and created a plan that matched exactly how I most wanted my home to look. We just finished our first room. She told show to repaint it. Then she handled all of the details and literally transformed our room in a day with new lighting, curtains, furniture and accessories. I came home from work and felt like I was in one of those t.v. shows that change everything overnight. My room is now gorgeous and gets a lot of praise from visitors. She is really laid back and so easy to work with, incredibly reliable and very creative.

First of all, I LOVE Jamie's style! She's the designer I've been searching for. Jamie listens carefully, helps me hone my color palette for the project, and gives me several choices (pictures) of everything that I need for that room. I select the things I like, she gives me all the pricing up front, and there are no surprises. On the rare occasion that an item wasn't up to snuff, she replaced it immediately. Jamie has helped me furnish and decorate two houses and update several individual rooms. I wouldn't consider working with anyone else!

We used Design Theory Interiors for a number of jobs in our home, including the finishing of our sun room, finishing of our complete basement and remodel of our master suite. All of the work was completed with original ideas, high quality products and unique ideas. We have been complimented time and time again on the high end look and feel that Jamie created in our home.
