About Us

Karine Kaelin is a Swiss national with a background in high-end property management and extensive experience overseeing refurbishments and renovations. In 2014, she moved to London to pursue her lifelong dream of interior design, graduating from KLC Design School. With over 14 years of project management experience, Karine previously worked with leading Swiss real estate firms including Moser Vernet & Cie and Naef SA, before transitioning into the interior design industry. She has since collaborated with studios such as Perring Design and Joanna Plant Interiors. Her recent projects include a coastal cottage in Yorkshire, a collection of apartments across Greater London, and a luxurious seaside holiday home in Pembrokeshire. Her style has evolved over time, rooted in the clean, structured aesthetic of Geneva, with its industrial tones, raw wood, and metal, and enriched by the vibrant, eclectic energy of London. Today, her work blends styles and materials to create spaces that feel layered, expressive, and full of character. Every project begins with understanding you. What do you need? What is your style? Karine works closely with clients to uncover and refine their vision, transforming ideas into thoughtful designs and bringing them to life with care and precision. Whether your home is a château, a chalet, or something more modest, she believes every space holds potential. Move beyond the ordinary and create a home that truly reflects you and brings you joy.

Sylvie Fournier

Karine transformed my daughter Louise's bedroom with attentive listening and genuine creativity. Beyond her design advice and furniture arrangement suggestions, she had the insight to adapt her proposals to the existing elements, minimizing necessary changes while maximizing the project's impact. What truly impressed us was the quality of her approach: Karine presented us with multiple complete design proposals — between four and five — each illustrated by a detailed mood board in PDF format accompanied by precise 3D plans. Louise was able to genuinely explore each option, modify them, compare the different variations and visualize the results concretely before validating her choice. This collaborative approach ensured that the final design matched exactly what she envisioned. Karine also simplified our shopping process by providing direct links to each accessory, and we were able to install everything ourselves without any issues. Thank you Karine for creating a bedroom that became exactly what Louise imagined!

Thank you so much, Sylvie, for your lovely review. It was such a pleasure collaborating with Louise on the design of her bedroom and I can't wait to see the result in situ on my next visit to Switzerland.

Kasia Bankowska

Karine has helped me transform my second house - this time in the Netherlands - and once again the experience has been outstanding. Karine listened and elevated ideas. She guided my decisions through colours, shapes and textures which resulted in thoughtful, warm and inviting spaces where I love to be and to share. The process is fast, easy and well illustrated. Communication - warm and efficient. Effect - beautiful. Thank you Karine!

Thank you so much Kasia for your lovely words. It is such a pleasure working with you again but this time on your beautiful new home in the Netherlands. Speak very soon!
Best wishes,
Karine

Emily Hunt-Adiletta OBE

Karine is a miracle worker. We moved countries and left all of our furniture behind, so we were starting from scratch with a large Victorian home as a blank slate. Karine helped us understand how we wanted to use our spaces, what we wanted them to feel like and how to do it. And she did so on a budget. (Whatever budget you think we had, it was much much smaller.) Our home is perfectly us, and beautifully so. Every time someone comes in our front door for the first time, they re-validate that feeling for us. If 10 stars were an options, that's what we would give Karine.

Hi Emily, Your lovely review just appeared on my Houzz page - it had somehow been stuck in the digital clouds for a while! So just wanted to thank you again. It’s been such a pleasure working with you both on the transformation of your beautiful house.

Maria

Karine worked on the complete renovation of our dual use space - dining and lounge area. She collected our feedback and within a few days presented us with inspirations and suggestions. She was exceptional in understanding and keeping track of our preferences and needs. Karine is extremely resourceful, professional, reliable, hard working and exceptionally fast. We love the place we live in and we owe a lot to her! Thank you!

Thank you very much M&B for your kind words and for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the process and love your almost finished living/dining room. Such a beautiful open space with a warm colour scheme. Very elegant, cosy & welcoming!

Eleonore De

Karine has transformed my living spaces both in my small young professional flat and in my family home. She has an exceptional ability to quickly understand tastes and needs, often anticipating them with solutions that are even better than I envisioned. Beyond the projects we worked on together, she is an incredible thought partner, when I get stuck making decisions decorating my home. Her professionalism stands out—she works efficiently, rapidly, and with remarkable precision. The way she presents her designs makes it effortless to visualize the final result, ensuring the process is smooth and enjoyable. I will, without hesitation, continue to recommend Karine to anyone seeking inspired, and seamless interior design.

Thank you so much for your amazing review Eleonore. It put a smile on my face. It is always a joy to work with you and help you transform your place into a beautiful elegant happy family home. Have a fabulous Christmas break.

Waterwynch Partnership

We (4 partners) took over a large self catering beach house with 12 ensuite bedrooms, living room, music room, gym, arts and crafts, bar, reception rooms and Great Hall in 2020. It was a daunting task, starting in lockdown to transform the property to a high end luxury holiday house. Karine has now advised us for 2 years, working through the bedrooms, the dining room, living room, hallways, staircases, and arts and crafts room. She has created a cinema room, a new therapy room, a further bedroom and a reading area. The result is outstanding. Karine is very hard working, acknowledges the differing tastes of the 4 partners and adapts designs to suit, working strictly to a budget. She is quick and efficient, presents her ideas in an inspiring way so that you get a real idea of how the room will look, sources suitable items and liaises with contractors to complete the refurbishments. She has provided an excellent service at a very reasonable cost. We would definitely recommend her for any major project.

Thank you so much for this amazing review. I'm very lucky to work with you on this beautiful project. What a fabulous self catering beach house!

Gavin Devine

Karine has done an amazing job of turning my ideas into creative solutions for my house in Rye - and providing her own ideas and inspiration too. I am so happy with the results. Her work is very reasonably priced and dealing with her has been completely painless. Could not recommend her highly enough.

I had the chance to have Karin team up with my wife and I for the interior designing of our new home in Geneva. Karin has outstanding listening skills because when she came in with suggested projects, it felt as if she had crept into my mind and materialised what I thought without imposing but still with her innovative touch. Karin is the ideal professional to work with because her suggestions are really the result of careful integration of every detail, in terms of colour, style ...etc. and preferences to shape it all up into something unique, coherent and harmonious, and to our taste. She undeniably understood me completely!! Thank you Karin!

Thank you so much for your amazing review David. It was a pleasure to help you and your wife designing the interior of your new home in Geneva. Hope to see you soon

Hendrick Brahm

We worked Karine Kaelin on the maintenance of our house in Switzerland. Looking back we are really glad that we could work together. She is a real professional, fast and a pleasure to work with. Mrs Kaelin acts promptly and she made the process easy for us. You can't ask for anything else from a company. I highly recommend Karine Kaelin Interior Design.

Helen Hobson

We instructed Karine to update the interior of our holiday cottage on the North Yorkshire Coast. The cottage had been painted white in every room and we were keen that the new decor gave the cottage more of a wow factor. There were some things that we wanted to keep such as certain curtains, sofas, light fittings etc. We also wanted the exterior of the property to be more appealing that it currently was. Karine worked with this and produced a very imaginative colour palette for the interior and exterior that tied in with what we already had whilst ensuring the scheme was harmonious throughout the cottage. She then suggested additions to the soft furnishings and lightening that enhanced the whole design further. She brought imagination and inspiring ideas to the project. Further, she encouraged us to consider things that we would not have been brave enough to do without her guidance. All these decisions proved to be correct. We could not be more pleased with the design. Many guests have commented on the standard of the décor and the ambiance of the cottage.

Karine helped us to turn our run-down garden shed into a beautiful, tranquil space for us to work and play in. She is creative and imaginative, full of ideas and able to stretch small budgets. She works extremely hard, is flexible and adaptive and delivers on what she says. I recommend her wholeheartedly for any design job.

Nous avons un studio à la montagne réamménagé et stylisé avec beaucoup de goût tout en restant très fonctionnel. Bravo à Karine pour son professionnalisme et son suivi dans ce projet qui nous donne l'impression d'avoir un tout nouveau studio.
