Interiors by Karen B. Wolf
They say it takes a village but in interior design it takes a personal, detailed and approachable team of dedicated professionals to see your project through from beginning to end. Meet our amazing staff and see what makes them tick and inspires their style.
Karen B Wolf
CREATIVE PRINCIPAL
Full of energy and excitement Karen sets the vision and tone of k+co LIVING and imbibes the studio with new resources, fresh design perspectives and ongoing education. As the principle and owner, Karen has had a fulfilling career forecasting trends, developing product for celebrities and for the past decade designing amazing homes for her clients.
Formally educated as a fine artist with a BFA from University of Michigan, Karen combined her arts with a marketing degree from Northwestern University with specific training in Trends Analysis. This unique blend of art and business sets k+co LIVING apart to deliver professional, organized and creative approaches. Her success also comes from her desire to work collaboratively, effectively and transparently with her clients with whom she loves “going to the edge and then reeling it way back in for function, style and life.”
Layers of color & pattern, finishes & textures are the hallmarks of Karen’s design aesthetic. Karen believes that every project deserves a little sparkle, a little color, something natural and lots of love.
