ABOUT

From handed down to intentional haven, it’s time to fall in love with where you live!

When your home is designed just for you, it goes from being just livable… to lively!

Tasteful color that represents and energizes you, pieces that work together, and functional cohesion with attention to every last detail.

I design spaces you’ll enthusiastically enjoy for years to come.

Spaces that feel like you not a Pinterest board

I take the design of your home seriously. Because I believe when it’s a true expression of you, it’s the very best place on earth.

I begin each project by learning about who you are, what you love, and how you live. Then I guide you through every step and transform your spaces from collected to curated.

Hi! I'm Kate Martinelli

I’m an interior decorator with an eye for exactly what your home needs to feel like yours.

I’m skilled at crafting spaces that match who you are today, not who you were ten years ago.

My passion for interior decorating and home staging started in my own home. I marveled at the transformative power of design. Friends and family took notice and begged me to help with their houses. Like that, I was officially hooked!

In 2018, I was formally trained, and Interior Decorating NE was launched! I work with clients in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut to design peaceful, comfortable spaces that inspire joy and relaxation.

Our Clients Trust us

“Kate is extremely patient and helpful. We had 3 rooms that were basically a total remodel from top to bottom, and I am very pleased with the results. She was willing to work with us within our budget and is extremely accessible and responsive to any inquiries or concerns. I would highly recommend her company and plan to hire her again for future remodels!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the experience [with Kate]. She took the time to understand my personal style and came up with beautiful color and layout ideas that truly brought the space to life. She was a joy to work with—always pleasant, responsive, and open to feedback. I felt heard and supported throughout the process.”

What Sets me Apart

I care about you and your home. And I mean, I deeply care! As a mental health therapist for over 30 years, I developed acute listening skills that help me understand your personality in-depth. I guide you seamlessly in making confident design decisions without stress or anxiety.

Together, we’ll go through your lifestyle from top-to-bottom to hone in on your favorite style and color preferences. Listening is my superpower. It helps me select just the right furniture and decor for you, striking the perfect balance of tasteful and cozy.
