Kandrac & Kole Interior Designs, Inc.

I have had the honor of working with Kandrac & Kole Interior Designs twice- once in 2007 when they helped make my plain vanilla builders house a home & a complete (amazing!) renovation of the entire home in 2024 which needed updating and a new palette of warm & inviting colors, decor & textures. They assembled an absolute dream team of the best contractor I have ever worked with, a painting team, a fabric drapery expert and all the components of a renovation team. Joann Kandrac & Kelly Kole are the most professional team ever (including their team members behind the scenes) and are smart, creative, fun, and incredibly kind. The key attributes I respect are many- yet 3 stand out that separate them from all the other designers I have worked for- 1. They are incredible listeners- and listen to what is important to the client. And they craft a project that is important to the client. 2. They absolutely tailor your project to what you like, need & is important to your family & you. And make it a WOW. 3. They are creative with a focus on your budget. And what is most critical to spend what money on. And are very willing to reuse or incorporate items you have that work for the new space & decor. They often move existing items to other areas of the house for the most effect. And most important they exceed every expectation I had and are absolutely great to work with (and fun). I promise they are worth every penny & will make your finished project everything you hoped and more. And they will really save you countless hours of you trying to find the “right” thing for the right place & save you money in the long run. They are beyond exceptional.

My wife and I worked with Kelly and Joann to transform the main level of our new home. We furnished the home, painted walls and cabinetry, redid countertops, and more. We were ecstatic with the outcome. Kelly and Joann did an absolutely fabulous job in designing our new home. It was wonderful to work with them throughout the process. They are extremely detailed and organized (which is never a given with a designer!), and incredibly responsive and approachable. It's never easy spending large sums of money, but I always felt that we could discuss such details with Kelly and Joann, and I am thrilled with the final outcome.

We recently relocated to a considerably larger home, and the task of transforming our new space into a comfortable and uniquely styled haven was no small feat. Enter Kelly and Joann, two interior design wizards who effortlessly turned our house into a dream home. From the moment they stepped through our doors, their meticulous approach was evident. They meticulously measured every nook and cranny, soaking in our preferences and ideas. We shared our vision – aiming for a comfortable, transitional, coastal vibe while seamlessly blending it into our late 90s-built house. Armed with a Pinterest board filled with inspiration, we leaned on their expert guidance to bring our vision to life. Kelly and Joann's design concepts were nothing short of breathtaking. They left us in awe with their ability to craft designs that were not only beautiful but also aligned perfectly with our tastes. We found ourselves making minimal changes because their designs were simply outstanding. They even incorporated some of our personal artwork, seamlessly weaving it into their creative vision. One standout feature was the ingenious use of wallpaper on the ceiling – a design element we would never have considered ourselves, but we put our trust in their process, and the result was nothing short of spectacular. Throughout the entire journey, Joann and Kelly were by our side, ensuring the flawless execution of their designs. What truly sets them apart is their ability to handle everything – from ordering to unwrapping and unboxing – so we could focus on our busy lives. As a mother of two with a demanding full-time job, their expertise was a godsend where I wasn't the expert. I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly and Joann's services and wouldn't hesitate to reach out to them for future projects. While I'd love to share pictures of our finished spaces, we're holding off until they submit them to a magazine because it truly looks like something straight out of a glossy home decor spread. Thank you, Kelly and Joann, for turning our house into a work of art!

If you are looking for designers who tap into your style, while expanding on it and showing you things you may not have selected then Kandrac & Kole are the designers for you. The process start to finish was five star experience, from the hand drawn rendering to them just adding little touches to an almost finished room. They take the stress out of finding furniture that will fit perfect in your space, which we had been challenging with this. It was truly a delight to work with them and we are already looking forward to the next project to bring them.

To say that Kandrac & Kole add the "wow" to your home design project is an understatement. These ladies are so professional and talented. I was building a new home this year and needed new furnishings and design for the entire first level of my home. Building a new home can be stressful, but Joann and Kelly bring the fun and excitement to the process. They sit down with you and listen to your likes & dislikes and create a design that reflects your personality and lifestyle (kids, pets, working from home, etc.). Joann was flexible and patient throughout the process. She would respond to my questions so quickly and always offered great advice. These designers have an eye for those special elements like lighting and art pieces that give your home a little extra flair, but also respect & stay within your budget. Their project manager, Lisa, keeps everything in order so you don't have to worry about the administrative aspects of designing your home. I'm so happy with the design of my new home!! I highly recommend using Kandrac & Kole for your next home design or home remodeling project. You will not regret it.

We have worked with Kelly and Joann over the last year. I cannot say enough great things about this team. Not only did they put my rooms together impeccably, they were the nicest, most genuine people to work with. They only use the best contractors and sub-contractors; people and businesses that you welcome into your home and know they will do the job right. If something isn't right, it gets fixed. We partially remodeled our kitchen, installing a large center island, new quartz, and tile. Everything works together perfectly complementing our existing surround cabinets. Our powder room and formal dining room were both wallpapered beautifully. And our family room is finally the place we always wanted it to be; light, bright, airy, comfortable yet refined. That is what I loved most about working with Kelly and Joann, they were incredible at taking much of our traditional and antique furniture pieces and working them with newer, more modern touches. We couldn't be happier, we finally have the house we always dreamed of.

Kandrac & Kole did a fantastic job in helping us update our home — kitchen, bath, paint, furniture. Highly consultative and professional. We are very happy with the results. Highly recommend and will use again.

Joann and Kelly have helped me with two homes. They listened to what I wanted and then made it happen!! And WOW, my home looks amazing!! They definitely put a designer touch on my homes. And they are so fun to work with!!

Great job K&K on my interior decorating plan and selection. Took longer than any of us would have liked and still have a few items to be delivered. But they took my ideas and delivered a warm yet cool look...I am very happy with the outcome. Kelly and Joann and their team try to find solutions to issues that come up and that is much appreciated! I highly recommend the Kandrac and Kole group!

This is a one of a kind team! I’m very indecisive, I just gave them an idea of what I wanted and they hit the nail on the head. They’ve been so very patient with us and have helped us out immensely during this insane time. I will be recommending Kandrac and Kole to everybody and keep them in mind for future projects in our home as well!

Kelly and Joann are absolutely amazing. Updating our house felt overwhelming. I didn’t know where to start. They really listened to what I wanted to do and delivered a plethora of great ideas and a plan to get the work done. Hiring them saved me hours of frustration and wasted time and money. I can’t wait to see the completed project!

I highly recommend Kandrac and Kole for your design and decorating projects! Joann, Kelly and Amy were a pleasure to work with. They designed and decorated the first floor of my newly purchased home. We discussed the look I wanted to achieve and my overall budget. They absolutely nailed it!! Their talent and skills turned an otherwise stressful project into such a fun experience! Their services were well-worth the investment since they gave recommendations for the greatest impact and utilized decorator discounts with vendors. Installation day was just like a tv show. I left for the day and came back to a totally transformed home that I absolutely love!! Carol Reeves
