“As the first owners of a new construction home we had the lucky but also daunting job of taking a blank canvas and turning it into a beautiful home that would work for our family of 4 (including two high energy boys). We couldn't have asked for better partners than Lindsay and Jodi for this project. I cannot recommend them more highly. They have been more than patient in answering my many (many) questions, fielding our special requests and truly helpful in helping us to find designs and pieces that are perfect for our life. They are champions at bringing in elements that are authentic to our style and incorporating what we already owned while balancing new details that helped get us out of our comfort zone. They have true talent for spotting amazing design elements that are unique, fun and truly gorgeous. Plus they made the process extremely easy every single step of the way. They are flexible, thoughtful and truly experts in what they do. I look forward to continuing to work with them on future projects."

“If you are looking for a smart, resourceful designer with amazing style, definitely consider Lindsay. She will assist you throughout your home renovation and decorating to ensure that the project runs smoothly and competently.
My husband and I purchased an old home; long on charm, but short on functional design and modern improvements. Lindsay worked side by side with our architect, contractor, project manager and subs throughout the 8 month renovation process. Individually and collectively, they would pepper her with questions and concerns and she would work as our emissary to make sure our renovation was everything we intended it to be and more.
On the design end of things, Lindsay’s style is clean and elegant. She is able to transform each room into a little gem. Her attention to detail is flawless. Each room turned out beautifully attended to without appearing overdone. Lindsay is especially gifted at resourcing unique products that blend well together.
We would love to work with Lindsay again on any future project. She is the consummate professional. A 100% pleasant experience throughout.”
“My husband and I could never have designed our apartment without Lindsay’s help and expertise. Lindsay has impeccable taste, is very professional, and seems to be able to solve any design or decorating problem. She truly listens to her clients and designs a home that is not only beautiful but is also functional. For us, she created a gorgeous living space that really fits our lifestyle. I am so pleased with Lindsay’s work on our apartment I have hired her again to help us design our new beach house. I know that I would never be able to do it without Lindsay’s help and I cannot wait to see the beautiful final product that I am confident she will create.”
“We have worked with Lindsay for over four years. What began as a small kitchen remodel wound up being a complete transformation of our apartment. As many can attest, renovation, especially in Manhattan, is a difficult and stressful process, with its own unique set of nuances. All the while, Lindsay remained a steady and calm leader and helped create a beautiful, modern home that feels warm and inviting. We look forward to working with her in the years to come.”
“Lindsay is smart, honest, efficient, and insanely talented. Working with her has taken all the stress out of what can be a stressful process, and it is thanks to her that we are now living in our dream home. It doesn’t feel like someone else’s style, like someone else designed it; it’s entirely our own. Lindsay internalized and respected what we liked, what we wanted, and what our vision was, and she brought that vision to life. I love coming home every single day—our apartment is a sanctuary that Lindsay created.”
“After working with many other decorators and struggling with their aesthetic, getting their attention, and overall work ethic - I have finally found my home with Lindsay and LKI. This is now the second apartment I’ve worked on with LKI, and I couldn’t be happier. Lindsay is professional, attentive, and has the best taste. She has helped to create our dream home. Comfortable, classy, cool, and totally child friendly. I would recommend LKI to anyone looking for a decorator. In fact I have! All my friends that have used her thank me constantly - as she’s also helping them create a place they’re happy to call home!”
“I moved into a new home almost four years ago. Although I loved the space I was at a total loss on how to fill it and create the atmosphere I was looking for. Lindsay was a gift! Not only is she a pleasure to work with but she immediately understood what I was looking for. Lindsay helped me with everything - choosing large pieces, fabrics & wall paper, accessories and so much more. She even pushed me to go a little outside of my comfort zone on a few pieces and I‘m so glad that she did. Her sense of style and color, mixing old with new, is what sets her apart from the rest. Lindsay is incredibly talented!”
“We really enjoyed working with Lindsay on a few different rooms in our apartment. Lindsay first listened to our vision, presented options, and then executed on each project flawlessly. She was mindful of sticking within our budget, but never let this sacrifice the end result. She pushed us out of our comfort zone on certain elements of the design and we ended up with pieces that we would not have chosen (or taken the risk!) on our own. Each room that Lindsay designed feels integrated and complete. She was energetic throughout the process and made the design experience fun! She was organized, prepared and dependable, not once missing a deadline. Lindsay coordinated all aspects of the project, from measurements to delivery to the finished touches – which made it easy on us. We could not have had a better experience…and we look forward to working with Lindsay again in the near future to finish our apartment.”
“We started working with Lindsay after purchasing an apartment that was new construction in an old church dormitory building. It had good bones, but blank, stark white walls throughout. Additionally, the quirky layout suiting our growing family with two young children, giving us the ability to have separate living and sleeping spaces, but the apartment’s long, thin floorplan meant we needed a very creative use of every square foot! We wanted our home to be fun and have personality, and clearly be kid friendly while not having adult areas dominated by toys. Lindsay touched every inch of the apartment, giving us an amazing but cohesive environment with a mix of design styles. She suggested and then designed built-ins to give us more storage, brought in textiles and patterns to give texture and color, and created our children’s bedrooms to be places where they could show off their personalities but also grow into. Her design ideas managed to be exactly what I wanted without knowing what I wanted! Lindsay seamlessly incorporated the pieces we already owned with the new things we needed to purchase. The end result is a home that feels updated and modern, but not too dependent on trends - we love it as much now 2 years after it was finished and know we will love it the same years down the road. Aside from that, she is the easiest and loveliest person to work with, and made the entire “process” (and it can be one!) SO much easier than I would have ever imagined. I just wish I had another home to work on with her!”
