View AllWinter Wonderland Transformation
We’ve had the joy and honor of decorating a dear friend’s home for the holidays over the past three years. Each year, we build on the pieces she already loves, while adding a few new touches to refresh the look and keep things feeling festive and unique. It’s always a pleasure to mix tradition with a little surprise, creating a holiday home that feels both familiar and beautifully reimagined each season.

What Our Clients Say
"I would highly recommend Kelly @ KHL Design Studio. She was a joy to partner with during our planning, refinement, and execution of our award-winning design at our medical office building in Lenexa, KS. All of our patients love it... as well as our staff. We have future projects in the works and she is the TOP of our list for her expertise and professionalism for our next design needs. Five star in my book!"
Dr. Fred Church

"Kelly was invaluable in our very large whole house remodel and additional project. She worked closely with our architect and contractor to ensure that our home would not only be beautiful but also function well for our family's day-to-day living. I know our home would not be as comfortable and beautiful without Kelly's diligence, expertise and eye for detail."
Sarah S
"I absolutely love what Kelly Lankford of KHL Design Studio has done with two of our homes. We have used her for everything from space planning in two major remodels to selecting furnishings, draperies, floor coverings, tile, molding, paint colors... I would never consider using anyone other than Kelly - her ability to understand my taste and lifestyle while elevating my taste to achieve a cohesive and gorgeous home is unprecedented."
