Homes designed with you, not for you.


Working with Kathryn Elliot Interiors means your home is shaped by how you live, not by a preset style. This is not a process built around finishes and fast decisions—it’s one rooted in listening, understanding, and thoughtful guidance. From the very first conversation, every choice is approached with care, so your home comes together naturally, comfortably, and in a way that feels unmistakably yours.

Our Process


No.1

It starts with listening.

Before any finishes are discussed, Kathryn takes time to understand the people who will live here—how you begin your mornings, how you gather with friends, and what home has meant to you up to this point. These early conversations aren’t about countertops or colors. They’re about you, and creating a foundation of trust that guides every decision to follow.

No.2

Seeing what’s possible

Once your story is understood, the design direction begins to surface in meaningful ways. Through inspiration boards, visual references, and thoughtful discussion, tone and texture start to take shape before any commitments are made. This stage brings clarity to your preferences and helps you imagine a home that feels natural, cohesive, and uniquely suited to you.

No.3

Clarity in the process.
Comfort in the result.

With steady, supportive guidance, decisions become clearer and the home begins to take form with intention. Options are filtered through your lifestyle and priorities, so nothing feels overwhelming or rushed. By the time details are finalized, the result is a home that feels familiar from the moment you walk inside—comfortable, confident, and unmistakably yours.

Thoughtful support, built in.

Every Harkin home includes up to 10 hours of personalized design guidance with Kathryn Elliot Interiors. Enough to set a confident direction and make key decisions with clarity. For homeowners who want a more comprehensive, start-to-finish design partnership, Kathryn is also available for full-scope design support.

Thoughtful choices, trusted partnerships.

From cabinetry to countertops to the appliances at the center of your kitchen, each element reflects a focus on quality that lasts. Our partnership with Sub-Zero and Wolf brings best-in-class performance into every home—quietly elevating daily living without ever feeling showy or excessive.
