Karen Casella, Lead Designer has over a decade of experience creating satisfying spaces for a variety of clients. She is reliable, resourceful and an out-of-the-box thinker and planner who approaches every project with careful thought and consideration for all aspects of the home, from the architecture to the way people live.
Based in New Jersey, Karen takes a thoughtful, intentional approach to getting to know her clients during the discovery phase. Through meaningful conversations, she uncovers how the family lives day to day, their personal interests, travel stories, fashion tastes, and overall design sensibility. This rich insight becomes the creative foundation for each project. She crafts a design plan that not only reflects the client’s personality and lifestyle but honors the character of the home and its architectural integrity.
Karen’s Thoughtful Approach
She gently nudges clients: she has the ability to push them just outside their comfort zones to create spaces that deliver that wow factor, even five or ten years later.
Resourcefulness is key: Karen draws on her deep experience and trusted network to find exactly what’s needed – the perfect piece, expert advice, or fresh inspiration.
Her overall goal: to design with the client’s aesthetic in mind while adding a classic touch, so the installation stands the test of time.
Karen says her favorite part of the process is the END! After thoughtfully searching and sifting through countless options, everything starts to come together beautifully. It’s the moment she knows the design is truly taking shape. Then, she’s ready for her next favorite part of the process when she gets to share these special details with her client during the reveal!
Let’s Get Personal
Karen wrote a children’s book about blending colors and has a degree in fine arts and early education with a focus on color, architecture, and interior design.
