CHRISTIE KRISTL CO.

Interior designer based in Metro Detroit, MI for homeowners invested in joyful living spaces.

Hi, I’m Christie!

I once heard someone say interior design is the second most personal thing after a colonoscopy (nobody said that). Okay, but actually - all projects start with me getting to know my clients on a deeper level . Their routines, their priorities, and what makes them feel at home. My role is to help uncover their unique aesthetic preferences and shape those into a design that also supports the way they actually live.

At the end of the day, the real goal isn’t the picture-perfect Instagram shot. The goal is creating a space that feels authentically yours.

As Seen On:

DESIGN SERVICES

There is never a one-size-fits-all approach to my designs because I don’t think any human being on planet earth shares the same exact design preferences - and even if they do, I guarantee they have different ways of living. Two neighbors might love eclectic interiors with a mid-century modern touch, but one of them has 4 kids under 10 and the other has 9 pet snakes. Their designs, while rooted in the same aesthetic vein, will have different functional needs that further inform those designs.

Ps. if you’re the client with 9 snakes, just know I’m allergic and I can’t come over.

DESIGN CONSULTATION

Best for If your first thought is “oh my, not sure where to start” then the CONSULT is probably good for you! Guidance can be as minimal as choosing a paint color or throw pillow and as involved as providing direction for redesigning a space.

  • Christie takes your vision and makes it come to life! She did an amazing job on my "activities room" - found unique pieces and set up an awesome overall layout - all within my budget. She thought of everything and had suggestions for things that I didn't even consider. Plus she's super fun and funny to work with. Would definitely recommend!

  • Christie came along and put the final touches on our wall, telling us what we could add and what to shift around. In the end we had a complete room that incorporated different aspects of my girlfriend’s life and mine. Every night I go to bed smiling because it came out exactly how we wanted without knowing what we needed.

  • I would absolutely hire her again for interior projects. And I'm not just saying that because I'm her mother.

    Cheryl S., Full Service Client

  • Christie listened to my requests, encouraged me to break out of my comfort zone, and honestly understood my needs better than I did.

    Justine, Full Service Client

  • Working with Christie is a dream in every sense of the word. The time she spent getting to know us, our design desires, our styles & our needs was so above and beyond — and then she delivered in the BEST ways. She was willing to “get weird” with us and found me the most incredible green leopard wallpaper for my sitting room, and she also challenged me to really think about my spaces in ways I hadn’t ever before… everyone who walks into the rooms she designed for us immediately asks for her contact. I would recommend Christie time and time again. 11/10!

  • We have used the talents of Christie Kristl Co in several projects and recommend Christie highly and without reservation. She is very astute, perceptive and professional. Christie took the time to identify and understand our style. (We had not realized we had a style until Christie identified it - and she was right on.) Christie presented a design, made great suggestions, and welcomed our feedback in order to find the ideal design elements and pieces for us. Her attention to detail and careful consideration was critically important in a larger renovation project we did. We have also used her for smaller projects, with the same great result.
    Christie not only sketches out the vision of the project, but sees it through in every step.
