Style meets spill-proof at Katie K. Interiors While Katie Kildal studied at interior design school, she came up with a portfolio presenta- tion on creating spaces for children and families. A few years later, she branded her business on the idea that homes can be both aesthetic and functional. The backstory After her family relocated to Houston, Kildal decided to make a career change and go back to school for interior design and build her brand, Katie K. Interiors. “I really focused on who lives there and that, yes, we all want to have a lovely home, but it also has to be durable for kids and pets and spills and life,” Kildal said. The approach As a mom of two boys, Kildal said she is always looking through the lens of motherhood and that she wouldn’t put items in a client’s home that she doesn’t put in her own. “I approach it like, ‘Let’s get the best high-qual- ity sofa that is in your budget range, and we’re just going to put a super durable fabric on it,’ because I don’t want anybody making any investments ... that you’re going to have to replace in a couple years,” she said. The specifics Katie K. Interiors o ers clients several di erent plans to choose from, covering everything from consulting and designing to purchasing, install- ing and styling. Kildal also o ers a catch-all plan that addresses smaller-scale needs.
When designing homes, Kildal blends aesthetics with functionality.
