Cohesive, Curated, Elevated, Yours
A design philosophy grounded in clarity, intention, and lived-in beauty with your unique style.
This started as our home. Then it became everything.
K&B Interiors wouldn’t exist without our own renovation story.
The second home we bought together had everything going for it—except the way it looked. Beige, “ready to sell” walls. Dated finishes. Old carpet. But the bones were there: a sunken living room, a dramatic brick fireplace, a two-story foyer. You could feel what it could be.
So we went all in.
I (Kevin) didn’t come from a traditional design background—I came from Industrial & Operations Engineering. I was trained to think in systems, to solve problems, to find the most efficient path from where something is to where it should be.
But the instinct was there earlier.
I grew up watching design shows, and I still remember helping my grandpa redesign my mom’s ensuite bathroom in high school—making decisions, thinking through layouts, seeing how a space could come together.
Design, it turns out, isn’t all that different.
I wanted a foundation to match my instincts, so I enrolled in NYIAD and completed the program in three months—not because I was rushing, but because I couldn’t stop.
That’s when it clicked: this wasn’t just a project. It was the work.
Braden, on the other hand, is a true scientist—chemistry, biology, just about everything (I cover the physics). During our renovation, he taught himself flooring so well that he decided to start a business. He launched it on April 1st—seriously.
A couple years later, we moved to Philadelphia. I stepped away from my 9–5. And what started as a flooring and design side venture evolved into a full-service interior design studio.
What we built—first in our own home, then as a business—is rooted in that same mindset:
See the potential.
Build the plan.
Follow it through.
Collected. Layered. Intentional. Never one-note.
We design homes that feel like they’ve come together over time—because the life-filled ones always do.
That means blending old and new. Honoring what’s already there, especially in historic homes, while introducing what’s next in a way that feels natural—not forced. Not overly precious. Not like a trend will undo it in two years.
You’ll see vintage pieces brought back to life—reupholstered, refinished, reimagined—alongside contemporary elements and the pieces that actually mean something to you.
We don’t believe in extremes.
Not a sterile, modern “spaceship.”
Not a frozen-in-time period piece.
Something more balanced. More personal. More authentic just like Philly.
Color, pattern, and texture play a role—but always with intention. Inspired by what you see in the world around you, layered in a way that feels rich and expressive without tipping into chaos.
And just as important as what you can move are the elements you can’t.
Fireplaces. Built-ins. Architectural details. The bones that shape how a space lives and feels.
We design those moments just as carefully—because they’re what anchor everything else.
The result is a home that feels cohesive, elevated, and entirely your own.
Not because it follows a formula—
but because it doesn’t.
Client reflections
“I began the project with a completely blank slate and no clear sense of direction. Kevin helped me define the environment I wanted to create and guided me through thoughtful decisions around furnishings and design. His vision is both bold and refined; even when I hesitated, his instincts proved absolutely right.
The result is a home that flows beautifully, with each space complementing the next. It strikes the perfect balance of sophistication and calm and, most importantly, it’s a place my children truly love.”
— Steve, The Main Line
“Kevin helped bring my ideas to life with an incredible eye for capturing the essence of a space. What stood out most was how communicative and flexible he was throughout the process. Even while I was out of town, I felt completely supported and confident in every decision.”
— Andre, Philadelphia
