Kevin Isbell Interiors, founded in 2009, is a New York based design firm. Named Rising Star of Interior Design 2010 by IFDA, his style is clean, edited and highly nuanced. Although firmly rooted in contemporary living, Isbell’s designs never disregard the past, but rather update them with a fresh new perspective. Isbell’s passion is to develop a design that is a mix of worldly periods and cultures and his client’s own inspiration and personal references. The result: an emotive space, reflective of the client and appropriate to the home and use of the room. Isbell strives to cultivate his client’s sentiment with design elements that are elegant, and timeless without being fussy. His projects reflect a restrained indulgent décor for inspired living.
