A Fresh Start for the New Year
January is an invitation to approach a fresh, clean slate.
As we step into the new year, we wanted to share a few updates from our studio, reintroduce who we are, and highlight the design services we’re particularly excited to lean into in 2026.
Who We Are
For those of you who may be new here, welcome.
Kristin Burke Interiors is a full-service interior design studio based in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin. We serve residential and commercial clients throughout Milwaukee, Lake Country, the greater Chicago area, and beyond.
A few points that define our studio:
We believe design should feel like home. Warm, authentic, timeless, and soulful.
We partner with families, homeowners, and businesses to create storied spaces that support life, work, and play.
We come to each project with a clear plan and a steady hand, making the process as seamless and enjoyable as possible – because design should feel less overwhelming, and more enjoyable.
What’s New at the Studio
This past year brought meaningful growth for our team.
From refining our process and opening the doors to our brand new office and showroom, to expanding our furnishings services and deepening relationships with trusted vendors, we’re entering this year with clarity and excitement. We’re proud to be among the design firms in Milwaukee committed to timeless design, craftsmanship, and a personal client experience.
This season feels like a new chapter, and we’re happy to have you along for it.
Furniture as a Foundation, Not a Finishing Touch
While renovations and construction are typically the main focus of a project, furnishings are what make a house feel like home.
It’s the sectional where everyone piles on for movie nights.
The breakfast nook that welcomes slow mornings and after-school homework sessions.
The kitchen island that stores what you need to make meal prep effortless.
Furniture shapes the function and feel of a space. That’s why furnishing and styling are such an integral part of our work, especially for clients looking for an interior designer for a new home, or those ready to refresh the spaces they already love.
Our furnishing and styling services include:
Custom upholstery and casegoods
Rugs, lighting, and window treatments
Art, accessories, and layered styling
Sourcing, procurement, delivery, and installation
Whether we’re furnishing a single room or an entire home, we create spaces that feel enduring, and unmistakably yours.
Designing Homes Across Wisconsin & the Chicago Area
We’re honored to collaborate with clients throughout Wisconsin and the Chicago area – to work alongside homeowners and businesses who value thoughtful design and a steady, guided process.
If you’re curious to see our designs in action, we invite you to explore our recent work and get a feel for our approach.
When you’re ready, we invite you to start a conversation with the KBI team. We’re here to help you reimagine your fresh chapter.
