ABOUT
At McKeithan Design Studio, we create interiors that are both sophisticated and deeply personal. Founded by Kurt McKeithan, our full-service design studio specializes in residential and boutique commercial projects that prioritize livability, authenticity, and timeless style. We serve clients in Nashville, Chicago, Charleston, and nationwide, bringing our expertise to projects from anywhere. Each space is shaped through a collaborative process, translating personal histories, routines, and long-term needs into environments that feel elevated and comfortable. From interior architecture and custom cabinetry to living spaces and exterior elements, our work celebrates craftsmanship, thoughtful layering, and subtle details that reveal themselves over time.
OUR TEAM
Behind every McKeithan Design Studio project is a dedicated team of designers, craftsmen, and collaborators who bring expertise, care, and creativity to every detail. We pride ourselves on a client-focused approach, listening first to understand each individual’s vision and translating it into spaces that feel authentic, comfortable, and uniquely their own. Meet the people who make thoughtful, enduring design possible.
