KEP Interior Designs

Working with Kim was terrific! Overall, Kim was able to listen and actually hear what we were interested in creating and brought ideas to the table that really fit the project. Not to mention that it all took place during pandemic 2020 along with an unexpected medical issue on our part, necessitating more phone calls, virtual discussions, and making selections online. All the contractors Kim involved did excellent work. Kim pulled it all together and the result was a home that we love!

I have had the pleasure of working with Kim on multiple projects in my home. I can always count on beautiful design ideas, excellent communication, timely execution and professional workmanship. I am absolutely thrilled with the results!

I have used KEP Interior Designs on several occasions, most recently for a re-do of my living room and dining room. Kim is so easy to work with. She is very knowledgeable, she has such a good eye for color and she's up on the latest trends. I have seen her work in Rhode Island Monthly Magazine and I follow KEP Interior Designs on Instagram. I would DEFINITELY recommend KEP Interior Designs for any project, large or small. You will not be disappointed! Terry Campbell

I can't say enough good things about hiring Kim to work on my dining room/living room project. From minor details as helping me choose paint colors to helping with fabric selection for chairs and drapes and coordinating area rugs she was spot on and just a joy to work with. I just didn't know where to begin in refurbishing these rooms and Kim was so patient and walked me through each step. She was always on time for an appointment and very flexible with her time. I would absolutely hire her again and plan to when I start my next project!

Look no further than Kim Peterson. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. She will listen to your ideas, bring you a variety of choices and resources, and then bring the project to life, better than you could ever imagine, all the while working within your budget and timeline. She is very creative, talented, easy to reach, quick to respond, and has the knowledge to answer all of your questions. If you are considering remodeling, or building a new home, call her early on in the design process. Working with Kim was stress free and fun!

My husband, inlaws and I began working with Kim in advance of a major renovation-relocation. We bought a roomy, quirky house and immediately set to work adding an inlaw apartment over the garage while also renovating the kitchen and bathrooms. Kim was instrumental from day one, helping us (from afar!) select key pieces on the contractor's time table: flooring, fixture, hardware, lighting, and more. Once we moved in, she advised us in countless ways, helping us blend what we had with new selections that made our new house in a new city fast feel like home. She worked as seamlessly with our contractors as with the many moving parts of our family. She's creative, responsive, intuitive, with a keen sense of design, color, shape. She understands form and function and family life, how to blend practical with the beautiful. And along the way, she became dear to us, too. I don't know how we'd have managed the renovations over the past year without her support, guidance, (patience) and beautiful eye for space.

Hello. I am an architectural photographer and have photographed a number of projects completed by KEP Interior Designs. Kim is professional and dedicated to creating spaces where her clients are happy to be in and share with family and friends. From a simple color consult to a complete home, Kim has the experience to make your home stand out. I highly recommend her!

Working with Kim on my kitchen renovation was wonderful! I was completely overwhelmed by the prospect of wading through and narrowing down choices on countertops, tile, light fixtures, and colors, but Kim did all the hard work of choosing only the best and offering me choices that reflected my taste and style perfectly. In addition, she managed every aspect of the project flawlessly, and took every ounce of worry off of my shoulders, even while we were away on vacation. A minimum of hassle, with the maximum result! She is a consummate professional in every respect and I am delighted to recommend her services to any discerning homeowner.

I found Kim of KEP interior Designs to be professional, worked in a timely manner, and a delight to work with. I trusted Kim to select the paint colors for the interior walls of our home and to select and purchase furnishings for our living room, dining room, family room, multiple bedrooms and mancave; in addition to creating and purchasing window coverings throughout our home. Kim provided us with all the elements of style and sophistication that we had hoped for and it is with great pleasure that I recommend her services.

I can't say enough about my amazing experience working with Kim. I hired Kim to help me with my master bathroom remodel. Kim brought several beautiful plans for me to choose from that really reflected my style and did so in a timely fashion. I was so thrilled with the end result that I asked Kim to help me refresh my master bedroom, with new furniture, bedding, rug and accessories, the end result again was stunning! From there Kim worked her magic on my family room kitchen, living and dinning rooms with the same stunning results. Kim is a very talented and professional decorator, I only wish I had another room for her to work on.

Kim at KEP Interior Designs is a wonderfully competent and caring professional. She is extremely knowledgeable. My husband and I were totally overwhelmed with our new 2,500 square foot home. We moved from a tiny one-bedroom in Brooklyn, NY and we desperately needed help and guidance in decorating the house. So, I turned to Houzz and found Kim. She helped us make decisions about custom window treatments, furniture, furniture placement, lighting, custom handmade pillows for a window seat, stair runners, rugs, and so much more. We had never used a designer before, and now I cannot even imagine not having a designer! She quickly understood our style and she expertly handled all my husband’s questions and concerns especially when he said “do whatever you want” and later objected to something I picked out. She valued his opinions on style even though he kept saying he didn’t want to be involved (but he really did.) She helped us pick the most awesome window treatments and we’ve received tons of compliments about them and the house. Kim really knows her stuff and I value her opinion and advice. She even told us how to clean our rugs, and which spray to use on our new cushions to keep them stain free. Our main living area — kitchen opening to dining and living room — is the space we worked on first. Kim worked at our pace and was never pushy. I love the way my house looks and I highly recommend Kim.

I hired Kim Elliott Peterson to provide me with decorating advice for the interior of our 2600 sq. ft. condominium. My husband and I were downsizing from a 4700 sq. ft. home, and our desire was to use the traditional furniture, oriental rugs, and wall hangings that we already owned, some of which are antiques. During the initial consultation Kim surveyed our home to become familiar with our furnishings, and then we went over to the condo so she could observe the layout. Based on her observations, and without taking any photos, Kim was able to recommend a PERFECT color palette to paint the walls of the condo to complement and incorporate the colors of our furnishings. I remain fascinated by how her colors worked not only with our furniture and orientals, but right down to the matting in our art work. Through skillful arranging of our furniture we were able to use all of our favorite pieces in the condo. Once the wall colors were selected, working with Kim on the choice of window treatments and upholstery was easy, and we could not be more pleased with their design and fabrication. Our 40+ year-old dining room chairs look brand new with their new and improved seat cushions! Working with someone as professional and talented as Kim has been a pleasure. She is very easy to work with, knowledgable, and accessible. Our project was completed on time and within our budget, and my husband and I are extremely happy with the finished product. It is a pleasure to give our highest recommendation to K.E.P. Interior Designs.

So happy to give Kim a Five Star review. Working with Kim was a pleasure; start to finish. We are generally overwhelmed at the prospect of making decorating decisions. Kim very quickly got a sense of our taste and somehow always managed to present us with choices that stretched our imagination yet were simple to make. Kim approached each step of the process with an exceedingly high degree of professionalism, but laced with a great sense of humor that made our working together so much fun. We always looked forward to her visits. And will be thrilled when we get an opportunity to team up with her again in the future.

Kim was awesome !! She was extremely professional and easy to communicate with she answered every text quickly - Working with her was a wonderful experience . I love everything we picked out !

Kim is as good as it gets!! She is the most professional and respectable interior designer I know. I have used her at my own home as well as many of my clients. I am never afraid to refer her to anybody. No matter the size of the project you could not be making a better decision.

Kim coordinated construction and decor to transition our beach house into our full time residence. Kim listened tirelessly and patiently, while helping us narrow down choices to create our personal comfort and style, while at the same time avoiding expensive mistakes. Her experience and knowledge, plus the team of contractors and professional service providers she works with are all top notch!

I loved working with Kim! She is very professional, creative and great at what she does. She brings her passion to each project and it shows in her work. She is willing to listen to your ideas and adds her input and honest opinion to get you the best results. She also does amazing work within any budget. I highly recommend her for any decorating project!

It was a pleasure working with KEP designs to pull together the main floor of our new home. Kim met with us, and listened to our needs, timelines, and design expectations. She was very responsive to questions and concerns.

I am a lighting professional who works with KEP Interior Designs on a regular basis. Kim is an amazing designer who is warm and friendly to work with. She puts an abundance of energy and heart into each and every one of her projects. I would highly recommend KEP Interior Designs.

Kim was wonderful to work with! She was extremely helpful and professional. She had great ideas and access to unique home goods and materials. I would highly recommend Kim!

For my company's needs, Kim has been an excellent tool! Her professionalism, work quality, and flexibility has made her a joy to work with. She has done multiple model homes, common areas, window treatments, and more which have all been done right and to my satisfaction the first time! She accepts your vision and tries to go with it rather than just doing what she thinks will look best. There was even a situation recently that we were in a bind and she came out the very next day and had it done not too long after that. I look forward to more projects with her going forward.

I had my living room redecorated and my kitchen renovated. Kim provided personal attention to my ideas and questions. She kept me informed from beginning to end. All came together to create a comfortable environment with a hint of the deluxe.

Kim Peterson of KEP Interior Designs is a true professional with the patience of a saint! My project of ordering 8 fire-rated and light blocking curtains to be installed for my theatre's main hall took more than a year to come to fruition as I had to wait for grant money to fund it. Through it all, even when my original fabric picked became no longer available necessitating another round of design decisions Kim was always accommodating, supportive and full of ideas. She also worked with me to get what I wanted but at the budget I had to work with. Always profession and on time and full of ideas. I would not hesitate to use her again!

KEP Interiors is fantastic! Great eye for mixing color and textures. She is very professional, polite, and eager to find the perfect mix for the project and has abundant resources. I hired her for multiple rooms in my newly renovated home and LOVE how everything looks. KEP comes highly recommended.

Kim is amazing! She helped me give my smoothie shop a facelift with new paint colors and lights. The difference is AMAZING!! Looks like a totally new place. Everyone that comes in now raves about how good it looks!!! She is very professional and has a great eye for what looks best in the space. I would highly recommend KEP Interior Designs!

Kim Elliott Peterson is the best! She is great at picking paint colors and she is also a very nice person.

I was looking for new Window treatments for my living room but had no idea where to start. Kim made the process so easy and fun that I ended up redoing 5 rooms! The quality of her products and craftsmanship was top notch and well worth the price. I strongly recommend KEP Designs to help make your home beautiful.

Working with Kim has been a wonderful experience. Her creative sense is chameleon like, adapting her skills to design a room to fit YOUR style. She is quick to respond in communications, enormously helpful with providing sample selections and always goes the extra mile to make the project easy and convenient for you. Without hesitation, I would recommend Kim for your next interior design venture. This talented and amicable woman will deliver your dream come true.

Kim has been providing decorating service as well as friendship and consultations to us for years. We actually invited Kim to view the last home we purchased in 2014 before purchasing it. We not only value her great sense of decorating style, but her insight as well. Kim is always honest and works tirelessly to provide the very best to her clients. She is the ultimate professional and always has your best interest at heart. Kim is well respected by other professionals in the field. Kim always sees projects through until the very end, even when she is on a well deserved vacation. She is like a breath of fresh air! What is there not to love?

We have been working with Kim Peterson and KEP Interior Designs for almost two years on a major remodel to our 1895 Rhode Island home. Not only is she a superb designer with excellent taste – she ended up being much, much more. As we were working long distance from across the country to remodel our home, Kim essentially became our second general contractor. She worked with all of the sub contractors on all aspects of the job: from lighting to tile, from appliances and fixtures to flooring, from painting to landscaping – Kim helped select, arranged for delivery, and organized the installation and completion of these and many more. Her knowledge of and positive working relationships with so many professionals in the industry proved invaluable, and we constantly relied on her solid experience. Once construction was complete, we enjoyed many long distance conversations and several fun-filled visits to work on the design of the interior of our home. Kim has wonderful taste, and we soon filled the rooms with fresh, nautical inspired furniture and fabrics. Kim coordinated window treatments, bedding, rugs, outdoor furniture, paintings and many other decorative features in the home, including custom wrought iron cabinetry and a custom dining room table. We are beyond thrilled with the final result of our vacation home – it flows together seamlessly, from inside to out. We highly recommend Kim and KEP Designs!

For the past 18 years, KEP Interior Designs has helped me decorate two homes and two condominiums. Kim Peterson has guided me in choosing balloon shades, valances, draperies, toss pillows and bed skirts, as well as wall paint colors, wallpaper, crown moldings and flooring options. KEP honored all budget expectations, completion deadlines, and did so in a professional manner. KEP Designs is both innovative and creative in assisting clients in their decorating plans. Remodeling a home can be a joy with KEP Interior Designs.

When Red House needs to send in an organized, consummate professional to help clients make decisions on paint colors or selections, Kim Peterson with KEP Designs is always prepared, always professional, always on target. We have never given Kim a client she hasn't kept long term. Thank you, Kim, for years of great work!

Kim is the perfect person to work with. She handles everything calmly and professionally, while being a very good decorator and "friend" in the process. She has an excellent eye for what will make the room, or the house, or whatever she's working on a stunning and comfortable place. She'll go out of her way to make "it" right for the client. She's the best.

KEP Design is truly a great design company! Kim Peterson is part of the project from the first stage to the last!

We're currently on our third remodel project with Kim. She was instrumental as we remodeled and added on to our primary residence, completely remodeled a ski house and now as we remodel an historic beach house that will someday serve as our permanent home. Kim has an excellent ability to visualize the potential of any space and then the attention to detail to make the vision a reality. She works extremely well with all contractors and is ready with a recommendations for all types of specialized resources. I could not imagine attempting any project, big or small, without consulting Kim.

Kim was sent to me by another professional to help choose drapery fabric. She went above and beyond what she had to do. When we were done I ended up purchasing drapery for 2 rooms instead of one and had chosen paint colors for all the rooms of my house. She oversaw the details of making and installation of both the drapes as well as a cornice which I had made by someone else.

Over the past 22 years Kim and I have worked together on many projects. Besides being very talented, she is professional, commited and loyal to her clients and brings a sense of ease that makes her clients feel relaxed. As her fabrication workroom I can say that her attention to detail and knowledge of color and pattern makes her projects stand out. Kim is a designer that I choose to pass on to my clients again and again.
