About Kreiss Interior Design
Kreiss Design is an award-winning interior design firm operating under the Kreiss corporate umbrella. Our design specialists offer design consulting services on projects that vary in size and complexity from furnishing and decorating individual rooms to providing turn-key design and project management for entire homes and large-scale commercial properties. Clients have the opportunity to source materials from either within or outside the famous Kreiss Collection to create custom themes, styles and decor that reflect their individual needs and lifestyles.
Kreiss Design Philosophy
Kreiss Design, founded in 1976 by Michael Kreiss, has provided custom design services to the distinguished clients of Kreiss Home Furnishings throughout the world. Drawing off decades of expertise and experience, Kreiss Design professionals source the exquisite materials, style and inspiration from both within and outside of the famous Kreiss Collection. Whether an existing home or new construction, the design team guides clients from choosing a style and theme all the way to the final installation and finishing touches of their dream home.
With over 5,000 completed projects, the Kreiss Design team works with you to help capture the “Kreiss Look,” a unique blend of casual luxury and timeless elegance of Kreiss furnishings that evolved from the quintessential California lifestyle. Working from the Kreiss Collection, with its classic inspiration and resort-style comfort, we set the stage with neutral backgrounds and generously proportioned upholstered pieces. Then, we thoughtfully layer in the accents, pulling in natural materials, rich textures and patterns. Kreiss Design professionals assist clients with everything they need for artful living, whether it’s choosing the perfect paint colors and draperies, to the highest quality kitchen cabinets and flooring. Our talented designers can draw upon Kreiss’ seven decades of master craftsmanship and resources to guide your design vision into a lifestyle reality.
The Kreiss Design Process
Kreiss designers begin the design process by understanding your needs, wants and dreams. During the initial interview process, we not only want to know you and your home, but how you would like to live inside it. “Do you like to host large dinner parties or small, intimate family gatherings?” “Do you spend more time in your family room or in the kitchen?” “Do you read in the den or in bed?” These details help us match your design preferences to your unique personality and lifestyle. In order to best customize our design solutions, we strive to analyze the role and functionality of each room, both separately and as a cohesive part of a home. After we understand your design goals, we invite you to a detailed presentation at the nearest Kreiss showroom, where we guide you though the step-by-step process of space planning, lighting, flooring and furniture selection, window treatments and accessories. Finally, working side by side, we review the recommended floor plans, materials, furniture arrangement and selection, and carefully blend the individual elements of the Kreiss Collection to reflect your distinctive design vision.
Making The “Kreiss Look” Your Own
At Kreiss, we draw on our experience with thousands of homes to help you craft a look of timeless grace from a wide range of styles. Whether you prefer California casual, urban sophistication, sleek contemporary, Spanish Mediterranean, or European formal, we incorporate the signature “Kreiss Look” to create a warm, inviting environment. Each project is unique; the options endless. As an in-house manufacturer, Kreiss can customize every piece of its vast furniture collection, from the finish, the fabric or the shape. Depending upon your design theme, we can mix luxurious leather with a cozy chenille, and blend various period furnishings, such as a French Bergere chair next to a contemporary upholstered sofa. Designers help you envision the finished rooms using custom design boards and samples of your textiles and materials so you can feel as well as see your options. We also are able to collaborate with a client’s architects and builders to create a home with optimal design continuity and flow. Our design team at Kreiss has the experience, resources and passion to help you discover how to make the “Kreiss Look” your own, and part of your unique lifestyle and distinguished home.
