Design That Makes Home Hard to Leave
Whether you have a million ideas or no idea where to begin, I’ll help you create a space you’ll love to live in.
Designed at the Kore is an interior design studio rooted in intentional transformation.
Founded by Korinne, the studio was built from years of hands-on experience working inside real, lived-in homes—guiding everything from full redesigns to strategic refreshes that elevate a space without unnecessary overhaul. The work spans both comprehensive interior design and focused, high-impact updates, meeting clients where they are and delivering exactly what the space requires.
At the core of the studio is a simple philosophy: great design isn’t about doing more—it’s about making the right decisions. The right scale. The right placement. The right materials.
Designed at the Kore specializes in creating environments that feel refined, cohesive, and lived-in—never over-designed, never trend-driven. Each project begins with understanding how a space functions, how it should feel, and how to bring clarity and balance to every design choice.
This is design led by intention and discernment—spaces that feel finished, elevated, and quietly confident.
Services
The Kore Edit
Strategic Refresh
What it is
The Kore Edit is a full-room redesign that works intentionally with what you already own. I actively repurpose your existing large furniture pieces — such as sofas, media consoles, and key foundational items — and design the rest of the space around them to bring everything together.
This service focuses on finishing a space properly by refining what’s already there and layering in the right décor and details.
Who it’s for
The Kore Edit is for people who like the foundation of their space but know it doesn’t feel complete. You want the room to feel pulled together, elevated, and thoughtfully designed — without replacing large furniture that already works.
How it works
To get started, you’ll provide:
Five photos of each room you’d like redesigned
Your maximum budget for the project
A list of must-keep items (large furniture pieces that should remain)
Any functional needs or preferences for the space
I design the space around your existing core pieces and present a curated design board outlining the décor, lighting, textiles, and finishing elements selected to complete the room.
One round of edits is included to refine the design before moving forward.
When all selections arrive, I place and style each item so the room feels finished, balanced, and ready to live in.
What’s included
A complete design plan for the room
Active repurposing of existing large furniture
A curated design board tailored to your space
One round of design edits
Purchasing, coordination, and final styling
What to know upfront
This service includes purchasing new décor and finishing pieces to complete the design. Scope and investment are based on the room size and overall project goals.
The Kore Space
Full Design for Existing Homes
What it is
The Kore Space is a full design service for one room or multiple rooms in homes that are already built. This service allows each space to be designed as a whole — from layout to furnishings to finishing details — based on how the room needs to function and feel.
This approach starts with a flexible design foundation, allowing for new foundational pieces when needed so the space comes together intentionally rather than being pieced together over time.
Who it’s for
The Kore Space is for people who want one or more rooms fully designed and don’t want to manage decisions, sourcing, or execution themselves. You want your home to feel finished, pulled together, and thoughtfully designed — without having to figure out how to get there.
How it works
We begin with a Design Direction Meeting to align on the space(s), style preferences, and overall goals. You’ll share examples of looks you’re drawn to and confirm your maximum project budget so all design decisions are made within that number.
From there, I create a curated design board with selections chosen specifically for your space. One round of edits is included to refine the design before moving forward.
Once approved, I handle purchasing and coordinate the pieces needed for the room(s). When everything arrives, I place and style each item so the space feels complete, balanced, and ready to live in.
What’s included
A complete design plan for one room or multiple rooms
A curated design board tailored to your space(s)
One round of design edits
Purchasing and coordination of selected items
In-room placement and final styling
What to know upfront
This service involves purchasing furnishings and design elements as part of the process. Final scope and investment are based on the number of rooms involved and the level of design required.
The Kore Experience
Design for New Builds & Major Renovations
What it is
The Kore Experience is a full design service for homes that are being built or undergoing major renovation. This service focuses on making the right design decisions before anything is installed, so the finished home feels cohesive, intentional, and well thought out from the start.
Rather than designing around existing spaces, this service works at the structural and finish level — guiding the choices that define how the entire home looks and feels.
Who it’s for
The Kore Experience is for people building or renovating a home who don’t want to guess their way through important design decisions. You want someone who can see the full picture, help you choose finishes with confidence, and ensure everything works together across the home.
How it works
We begin with a Design Direction Meeting to align on the overall vision, layout considerations, and how you want the home to function and feel. You’ll share inspiration, priorities, and confirm your maximum project budget so all decisions are made within that framework.
From there, I select and curate the finishes and materials that shape the home — including flooring, wall colors, tile, countertops, cabinetry details, plumbing fixtures, hardware, lighting selections, and surface materials. These choices are made with the full home in mind and presented clearly so decisions feel straightforward, not overwhelming.
As the build or renovation progresses, I provide design guidance to help keep everything aligned with the original vision.
What’s included
Selection of key finishes and materials across the home
(flooring, paint colors, tile, countertops, cabinetry details, fixtures, hardware, and lighting)Big-picture design direction to ensure cohesion from room to room
Ongoing design guidance during the build or renovation
Support in making confident, informed design decisions
What to know upfront
This service is designed for clients prepared to make a significant investment in their home. Scope and involvement are based on the size of the project and the level of design support needed.
