Kathleen Newhouse Interiors

I've had the pleasure of working with Kathleen on many design projects. She is the hardest working and most professional designer I've worked with in my career. Anyone would be lucky to use her on a design project!

It is with great pleasure we recommend Kathleen Newhouse of Kathleen Newhouse Interiors. We found her on Houzz, interviewed her via a Zoom call, and knew she was the right person to help us with decorating our new construction home in The Tribute. As we began this process, much of our communication was via phone and email as we were in the midst of the pandemic. Kathleen made sure that she understood how we planned to live and began sending us pictures of furniture and floor covering recommendations to insure her design ideas and our personal design preferences were in sync. She communicated constantly. Kathleen was great to work with and it was immediately clear that she brought a high degree of creativity and passion to our project. She was very responsive to our questions and requests, but also offered instructive guidance around our design choices. Kathleen assisted us with furniture, rugs, accessories and window coverings. Our collaboration enabled us to push beyond our comfort zone and create a new space that is truly different from our previous home. Her attention to detail and design acumen helped us achieve a style and result that we are proud of and enjoy sharing with family and friends. We loved working with Kathleen and we are happy to give her our wholehearted endorsement. Sincerely, Frontaine and Tyrone Freeman

Kathleen did a truly amazing work transforming our formal living, formal dining and family room. We love, love our amazing new look of the three rooms now. She selected beautiful furniture for all the three rooms all within our price range. And when we needed to hire professionals, she made it super easy for us. She has the best crew for painting, roller shades, etc Finally for accessories like rugs, chandeliers, wall art, decor items she went truly above and beyond to get them all within our price range at the best quality and beautiful designs. She made sure she bridged gaps between the design preferences of my husband and I. She had our budget and design preferences in mind and gave us the best products and best services.I am very thankful for finding Kathleen on Houzz. My husband and I will definitely hire Kathleen for all our future projects.

Kathleen worked with me to design/decorate my family room, dining area, and master bedroom. She was so helpful and her expertise made all the difference.

My experience with Kathleen was outstanding. She saved me a tremendous amount of time going through sample books for my furniture and drapery requests by having specific ideas for me to review. She gave me alternatives when making choices. She wanted to hear my feedback and pointed out the pros and cons in making color and furniture styles. If I asked her questions, she promptly responded on each occasion. Her professional manner and knowledge of design will have me requesting additional help on future projects.

We were very happy with Kathleen's services. We asked her to help us decorate for the holidays. We were hosting a special event and wanted to look more polished. We also wanted to use as much of our existing décor as possible. Kathleen has a great eye for giving rooms a fresh look. She brought some new items to integrate with our existing. I have had many compliments from family and friends!

Kathleen has worked with me for 2 years. She has helped me with design in my kitchen, drapery, and obtaining furniture for living room, dining room, and bedroom, staying abreast of current styles and colors. She considers your budget, and design style, and is professional yet warm in approach with her clients, helping with color and references to service people. I will continue to work with her in the coming years.

A few months ago, we did a remodel to our home and converted our living room to a den. We used Kathleen for her interior design services after the remodel was completed. At first she consulted with us on furniture, window treatments and accents. I appreciate that Kathleen really took the time to understand our design style and added her own suggestions. She did a great job of putting the room together and making it feel like home. She was also very responsive and easy to work with. I am more than happy with the outcome and our den is now a major part of our home!

We recently bought an older home with a lot of character and wanted new furniture to accentuate the character and upgrade from what we had in our previous home. We met Kathleen through Toms Price and have worked with her over the past few months picking different items. I cannot say enough good things about her! Kathleen fit a home visit in very quickly after contacting her. Within the same day and week she was sending us different ideas. Because we had just purchased the home we had a budget we needed to be mindful of. Kathleen really worked with us to get the best pieces and to meet the style that we had a hard time conveying. She went above and beyond thinking of us at different shows she would go to and giving us a lot of ideas. We finally got the majority of our items in last weekend and it turned out great! I wish she could have seen our excitement when we got home. Kathleen was so nice to meet the delivery truck as we were not able to be there during the week and she knew how anxious we were to get our items home. We still have many more things to get done in the home and Kathleen will always be our go to in determining what to buy.

My husband and I used Kathleen's services to update and partially remodel our living room. Kathleen helped us pick out pieces that coordinated with the current pieces that we wanted to keep. In addition, she helped us to pick out fabrics to re-upholster faded furniture pieces and paint colors to brighten up the living room and adjacent dining room. Since we were not doing a total remodel we were trying to stay within a very limited budget so we are able to do a total remodel in a few years when our children are out of college. Kathleen was respectful of our budget constaints and helped us find quality, beautiful pieces to update the current look of our living room without having to re-do everything. It was a delight working with her. I will definitely use her services again!

Kethleen, Listened to our needs; came to our home to see our spaces; provided room rendering So we would know how the furniture fit & exceeded our expectations.

Kathleen was so easy to work with. She listened to our needs and ideas and helped us to make decisions on fabrics and colors. I would definitely recommend her and use her services again.

I have had the pleasure of working with Kathleen for the past two months. This woman exudes class all around. She listens to what you like, doesn't impose any other ideas that are too "out there" from mine. She quickly identified my interests and found me several examples that were right on. She was encouraging and never offended if I wanted to look at something else. She has impeccable taste and never seems to have a "bad day". Super graceful and gracious. I'd work w her any day of the week. Extremely professional but still treats you like one of her girlfriends. She's become like a bestie to me. In fact I own a marketing company and am looking to collaborate with her on special event design because it's such a pleasure to work w her.

Kathleen is one of my interior decorators that I recommend and she always does a great job with my clients. They are verry pleased with her professionalism and detail in her work.

Kathleen couldn't have been more helpful when it came to our redecorating project! We came into Toms-Price (Wheaton) unsure of where to begin, but she really listened to us describe what we were doing, was very patient with our initial indecision, and was able to guide us in the right direction. We ended up buying pieces of furniture and rugs that fit our needs, reflected our tastes, and finished off the spaces we were transforming. We love everything she helped us purchase and couldn't be more pleased with her service and advice. She also kept an eye on our bottom line and helped us find wonderful things that were on sale. We're very happy so far and will be back for more!

I've worked with several interior designers and Kathleen is one of the best. She was willing and able to work we me remotely while I was out of the country and then we finished up once we were back. This was a house that we purchased and were trying to redo before we moved in. She was not only able to work with the Realtor, past owners, and contractors to design and then coordinate the work that needed to be done. Kathleen is friendly and easy to work with. She has an outstanding sense of color and style and was able to combine our tastes and existing furnishings in a manner that exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend her.

We had the opportunity to have Kathleen redecorate our dining room. She did a fabulous job, from color choices to furniture selections. I would recommend her for any project. Her vision and understanding of what the client wants are unbeatable.

Kathleen redesigned and refurnished a 17 year-old, well loved family room. She chose fabrics and furniture that truly reflected my personality and the functionality of the room. Kathleen was prompt, courteous, and a genuine pleasure to work with. She paid attention to all details in the room, right down to arranging the books and what-nots in my built-in bookshelves! I would recommend Kathleen without hesitation.

Kathleen did AMAZING work on our home! Thanks to her great taste, our family room and dining rooms could not look any better.

We moved into our home in 2007 and was not able to find just the right window treatment for our large family room windows. I look into several interior designers and no one was able to give me what I was looking for. I met with Kathleen and she was able to give me just what I was looking for. She listens to what you like and is able to translate into what is just right for the room. She was a pleasure to work with.

Kathleen came to my home to help me choose curtains for my very large french door windows. She was kind, patient, and showed much professionalism. She brought with ever several books of fabric to choose from, and with her guidance, l I ultimately decided on the perfect one. She explained in depth how the fabric would be hung and how much fabric would be needed to Cover the amount of windows I desired. All along I did not feel pressured. She gave opinions on rods and hardware. In the end the product was completed in a very timely fashion. Her installer was also very professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Kathleen as a designer to seek out when looking to decorate your home.

Kathleen was a delight to work with. My place of business was drab to say the least. I make video productions, and don't know the first thing about home or office interior design! I would rather meet a client at Starbucks then invite them to our place because we don't "look'" the part of a image business. I was so worried, but now it looks fantastic! Not only do my clients remark on the modern look, but the confidence of my staff and myself is notably better. Kathleen was knowledgable and efficient. She was worked with us with "our style" then she classed it up with amazing window treatments, new color scheme, and assisted us in our furniture selection! She even rearranged some things to make sure that my staff has enough room to work and greet clients. Kathleen really made us feel like she cared as much as we did about the look of our business, and thanks to her we now look the part we have been playing for so long. Worth every penny, and I recommend her to everyone.

Kathleen is a wonderful interior designer! She will come to your house, offer suggestions and work within your budget. Kathleen designed the window treatments in kitchen, family room, living room and dining room. She was extremely patient with my fabric selection, found new books and brought them to the house for my review. EXTREMELY happy with the results! Hightly recommend Kathleen!

I hired Kathleen for the Interior design services for a substantial interior office remodel ( 96,000 square feet). Kathleen showed a wonderful quality of service, creativity, professionalism and communication.

Kathleen is so full of energy and enthusiasm, it is obvious she loves her job. She is easy to work with, organized and answers questions promptly. Kathleen was able to quickly get a feel of our style and knew exactly what would work for our new dining room furniture, and how to pull together the decor in our family room.
