About Us

Kristin Burke Interiors team reviewing architectural floor plans for a custom residential design project — showcasing a collaborative and detail-oriented design approach in a modern, neutral-toned living space.

We design spaces that evoke a sense of connection, warmth, and authenticity.

At Kristin Burke Interiors, we believe that great design involves curating environments that reflect our clients’ personalities, experiences, and stories.

Layered, personal, intentional, and soulful, are just some of the characteristics that describe our design style. We don’t try to fit your style into a box; rather we work with you to understand your lifestyle, likes and dislikes, needs, and wants to create a home that is uniquely yours.

  • Client Testimonial

    We worked with Kristin and her team for a large renovation last year to include a full kitchen, pantry, living room and mudroom and we are incredibly happy we did. Her design eye, attention to detail, organization and communication is superb and we would love to work with her for future projects. With as many moving parts as our project had she always maintained an upbeat, friendly attitude and was a joy to be around. Thanks Kristin for making our house a space that functions so well for our family!

  • Client Testimonial

    We are beyond pleased with the work Kristin did in our home. From the small accessory touches to flipping our once lackluster guest room into a dream nursery, we couldn’t be happier with how our interior rooms turned out. Responsive and a true joy to work with - I highly recommend Kristin Burke Interiors and look forward to more projects in the future :)

  • Client Testimonial

    Kristin worked with me on my new condo and basically helped to design it from top to bottom! She was incredibly patient and helped bring what was a nebulous vision in my mind to beautiful reality. She helped make what was just a condo space into a home! So glad I got to work with her and plan to work with her again on a few other spaces!

    We truly enjoyed working with Kristin on our lake house project! Her selections, ability to put items together and make the whole house flow was simply outstanding. She listened to our needs and really made our house look and feel so inviting and beautiful!

  • Client Testimonial

    My wife and I had a specific "mood" we wanted for our Smoky Mountain rental property that we were building. We started working with Kristin who took into account our style preferences and goals She walked us through her design and happily took our feedback into consideration. . When we "moved in" we couldn't believe how stunning the house looked - and neither can our renters, many of which leave rave comments about the cabin. We can't recommend Kristin's talent enough!

  • Client Testimonial

    We worked with Kristin on the design of our commercial space. We wanted something warm and unique with a vintage vibe to complement the exposed brick and existing character of the space ... and Kristin delivered! The compliments on our space have been endless and our team loves coming into the office because it is so comfortable and beautiful. Highly recommend!

  • Client Testimonial

    Kristin was a joy to work with. She was easy to communicate with, listened to our wants/needs and made the process fun! Most importantly, she created a functional and beautiful space that we are so happy to call home, but she also did it with grace, patience and confidence. It can be hard to see the forest through the trees during a renovation and second guess decisions, but we are so glad we trusted her with our design and our home.
