We currently live in Pennsylvania, and we are building a house in Steamboat Springs, CO. We hired Karen White Interior Design (KWID) knowing they are approximately 3 hours from Steamboat. When working with KWID, these location differences have never been barriers. Karen presents fantastic concepts and designs. Her openness to our ideas cultivates fresh exchanges where both ‘yes’ and ‘no’ contribute to remarkable outcomes. With meticulous attention to detail and a keen sense of time management, Karen ensures that every aspect of our project moves forward seamlessly and on schedule. Builders and architects are impressed by the level of detail she includes in her interiors set. We had a challenging transition of builders early in our project and Karen’s support and insightful guidance kept our dream alive. Overall, she’s the consummate professional. On top of all of this, we very much enjoy spending time with Karen and her team. Knowing that such great people are driving our project adds an extra layer of confidence and enthusiasm. If you hire KWID, you will be in great hands!

When we look at these photos of our home, we cannot help but marvel at what you have done for us. We have said this repeatedly, but you and Tim Hagman really understood us so well. We could not be happier with the outcome and think of you all the time when we think of Snowmass. Thank you for everything.

Karen White did wonderful work for us in transforming a large dark basement into a bright, light, and beautiful multi-purpose design. She is a great interior space designer with an eye for quality, high-end finishings, light, and color. Her architectural and construction knowledge was critical to the intricate design we agreed upon. We worked across the country for part of the time very efficiently and finished on budget and on time. I can’t recommend Karen and her great staff highly enough!

Since I had such a pleasurable experience with Karen after remodeling my former home, I decided to hire Karen again with my new project of building a home. She was hands on from the beginning, from drawing out the home, to participating with selecting and designing all the cabinetry, fireplace drawings, tile work as well as furniture and unique and special lighting. She was even so thoughtful in putting up and purchasing a Christmas tree, wreath, ornaments and mantle accessories so that our house would be ready for the holidays. Nothing was spared. Karen is a pleasure to work with. She is highly organized, and conscious about cost. As our project comes to a close, I will miss her as she also has become a treasured friend. I recommend her highly!

I found Karen only through a web search and had no idea what it would be like to work with her. From the minute we met through the end of a fairly big renovation, Karen is a pleasure to work with. She is the consummate professional with a great eye for design. She learned my taste and tailored her recommendations to it. She found the contractor for the job and he was absolutely amazing - getting the job done on time and on budget. I do not live locally and Karen made everything a breeze even from across the country. She has a great team to boot. I cannot recommend Karen highly enough.

Karen is a gem! Besides having a great eye and innovative style, she is a gentle but steady guiding force. She steered me away from bad decisions, improving on my unfocused ideas and always had a great sense of humor. I have no hesitation in recommending her for jobs large or small!
— Carolyne Heldman

Karen White was a pleasure to work with in every way! I was apprehensive before starting my project because I have a high standard from working with other quality designers. My project was being worked on remotely, and therefore I needed each meeting to be productive and meaningful. Karen exceeded my expectations. Karen did an excellent job at listening, and was very well prepared for our meetings. She was very organized, creative, knowledgeable and easy to be with. The many resources she had access to helped make our project come together the way we envisioned. I highly recommend working with Karen.

Karen White Interior Design (KWID) is a fantastic designer. We hired KWID to remodel two bathrooms. Karen is intuitive and caught on right away to our style to help us achieve the vision we had. She is incredibly talented and very knowledgeable about the specific workings of a remodel. Karen is very professional and fun to work with: she listens carefully, communicates well and is very prompt with followup. Always respectful of our budget and project timeline, Karen has great attention to detail and provided layouts with a variety of options, resources and materials to choose from. It’s easy to be overwhelmed with the many choices of tiles, fixtures, etc. that a bathroom remodel can take on, but Karen’s creative approach and professional guidance made the whole process enjoyable. She made great use of the space and definitely worked with our budget. We’re thrilled with the way our remodeled bathrooms have turned out and have received so many compliments – we have Karen and her excellent design sensibility to thank for it. We highly recommend KWID and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!

I’ve worked with Karen on some extremely intricate projects with very private clients and she is absolutely wonderful to work with. I would recommend Karen to anyone, she is very proactive and understands her side of the design world very well. Karen is a great team player who I would work with again in a heartbeat.

Karen helped me update a home I recently purchased in Carbondale. She transformed a rather dark home into a warm and inviting place to live. Not only did she help with paint, new lighting, furniture and accessories, she also planned building a desk, window seat and garage cabinets. There is nothing she cannot do. She has also become a good friend. She is confident, honest and very organized. A real treasure in this industry.

I was introduced to Karen White by a mutual friend. She helped us furnish and complete a vacation home in Moab, Utah. Working with her was a true pleasure. She was a good listener, sensitive advisor, and dedicated worker. She had wonderful ideas for resources. Our various questions and requests were handled promptly by email and she made a number of site visits with a camera to help us with decisions. Anyone who choses to work with Karen is certain to meet and warm, creative and trustworthy woman.

t’s pretty simple…we could never have done it without her. Karen is a true professional and very good at what she does. While our project may have appeared simple on the surface, when you consider the dramatic remodel and the fact that we had three opinionated owners participating in the decision process, Karen is the reason it turned out so well. We really enjoyed working with Karen, as her patience, listening ability and creative vision helped guide us to a design that made everyone happy. In addition, Karen routinely visited the work site and made herself available to our contractor at all times. She was our eyes and ears on the ground. As a result, Karen played a big role in keeping the project on schedule and on budget, catching mistakes or making changes that really had an impact on getting things right the first time. I strongly recommend Karen to anyone looking for help with the interior design, remodel or construction of their home.

Karen White played an integral part in the building of our Snowmass home. Involved from the drawing stages, she provided varied bathroom tile designs, fabric and color choices, and unique vintage pieces to complement the custom furniture. Karen worked very closely and cooperatively with us to help us achieve our vision of how our home should look and feel. Throughout the building process, Karen was enjoyable to work with, readily available, and a tremendous source of design ideas. Thanks in large part to Karen’s expertise and hard work, we are thrilled with our finished mountain home.
— Eileen M

We love the way our home turned out. I simply couldn’t have done it without you. Having you there on the job was and is invaluable. You always a ready, thoughtful and knowledgeable answer or solution to any problem that might arise, even before I can think of the question! You are always quick and want to make everything perfect. I appreciate that so much and am so grateful to have your expertise. Thank you for all you have done.
