INTERIOR DESIGNER

Kayla VanHorn is a dedicated and passionate interior designer, holding an Interior Design Associate Degree from DMACC. Her love for design has always been rooted in something deeper than aesthetics, a belief that home is where life unfolds. To Kayla, a thoughtfully designed space is more than beautiful; it is the backdrop for family traditions, shared meals, and the everyday moments that become part of a family's story.

From a young age, Kayla nurtured her creativity by rearranging furniture and styling spaces throughout her childhood home. Her appreciation for meaningful interiors was shaped by her mother, who taught her the value of expressing personal style and creating a home that feels warm, welcoming, and uniquely your own. Equally influential were the values passed down through generations of her family—an understanding that home is a sacred place where love is nurtured, stories are shared, and legacies take root.

Today, Kayla brings that perspective to every project she undertakes. She is passionate about helping clients create timeless, personal spaces that evoke comfort, connection, and a sense of belonging—homes that honor the past while making room for new memories to be made.
