Katharine Andrews is the principal interior designer and owner of Katharine Andrews Interiors, LLC (KAI), a Hinsdale-based firm known for creating sophisticated, thoughtfully tailored interiors. With a design philosophy rooted in form, function, and beauty, Andrews blends traditional architecture with contemporary elements to craft spaces that feel both timeless and deeply personal. Her collaborative approach and meticulous attention to detail ensure every project reflects the client’s lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and long-term vision.
How do you tailor your approach for clients who expect both beauty and performance?
My firm tailors every design solution to meet our clients’ specific needs, lifestyles, and aesthetic preferences. Interiors should be designed with three primary principles in mind: form, function, and beauty. Striking the right balance of these elements is the key to a successful design outcome.
How do you ensure every project feels personal and distinctive?
Getting to know my clients, being mindful of their perspectives, and vision serves to guide KAI to create a project that reflects the client’s personality and distinctive style. Effective communication and respect foster mutual trust and understanding, which is integral to delivering an exceptional design outcome consistent with the objectives and expectations of our clients. Katharine Andrews Interiors utilizes a collaborative approach, working closely with every client and their contractors to effectively identify, design, and implement a complete solution that is functional, practical, and well-executed.
How do you balance innovation with timeless design?
By artfully fusing traditional architecture with contemporary design elements, KAI creates sophisticated interiors that are impactful and endure the test of time. We start with a strong foundation by incorporating durable materials and timeless design elements. Then, layer in stylish design features by selecting easily changeable items, ensuring that the core design remains relevant and adaptable over time.
