Rocky Shoreline Inspires the Palette of this Lake Geneva Home
"Some houses just feel good when you’re in them. And some are beautiful but don’t feel good,” says interior designer Elizabeth Krueger. Overlooking Geneva Lake, this particular Wisconsin escape manages to achieve both in a way that seems effortless. “This one is beautiful, and it feels good,” she continues.
Inside Paris Deco Off: What Our Designers Discovered
We're particular about materials. Where they come from, how they're made, what makes one textile or finish different from everything else on the market. It's one thing to flip through a sample book. It's another to watch glass being blown in a lighting atelier or walk through floor-to-ceiling chocolate drapery to enter a showroom.
Inside our West Loop Home
Some homes need a full gut. This one just needed intention.
Our clients here are dear friends. Katie is a fashion designer with a sharp eye and strong opinions. Her partner had plenty of thoughts too. They came to us with a brand new duplex full of beautiful developer finishes, but it didn't feel like theirs yet.
December Design: The magic, the hosting, the exhale
December is equal parts celebration and surrender. The first few weeks are fast and festive, and the last are quiet and calm. The best homes are designed for both.
The EKD Holiday Edit
The holidays are here, and we're in full gifting mode!
There's something about finding the perfect gift for a loved one. The gift that just feels so right for them! Personal, thoughtful, and maybe a little unexpected.
The Room that Really Saves Thanksgiving
Everyone obsesses over kitchens and dining rooms this time of year. But the room that actually saves Thanksgiving? The scullery.
It’s the space that hides the mess, swallows the overflow, and keeps the kitchen looking calm when the reality is anything but!
Here’s what we think about when designing one.
October Belongs to the Living Room
When evenings get darker, people gravitate to the same place: the living room. It’s no longer a pass-through—it’s where October happens. Sofas that pull you in. Fireplaces that take over. Lighting that softens the whole room instead of glaring down. This is the season of staying in, and the living room deserves to feel like it.
London Design Week: What Caught Our Eye
London never disappoints. A few days there and we came home buzzing with ideas, sketches in our notebooks, and maybe a few too many photos on our phones.
Here’s what stood out most.
Designing Workspaces that Work
Most workspaces at home are an afterthought. We can’t have that!
Whether it’s a client running their business, a teen navigating school deadlines, or a parent writing grocery lists on a laptop, the goal is the same: a space that supports real mental focus- but with style.
Design that Pulls Its Weight
From mudrooms to pass-throughs, these hardworking spaces do more than store your stuff—they keep your home calm, clear, and ready for real life. A few of our favorite design details, straight from the studio.
EKD Alfresco Edit

From high-end staples to low-lift upgrades, it’s a mix of what we’d actually use (and do).
