HOW WE WORK

Growing up in the Midwest, Kelly’s love of art and interiors began in high school.  Taking classes in interior design, drawing and photography led her to Savannah Georgia. She is a proud graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design.   

After college, she honed her skills in hospitality and retail interiors work before shifting into residential interiors.  Kelly’s career in New York City included working for well-known designers such as Rockwell Group, Hamilton Design Associates, and top AD100 firms such as Sills Huniford and later Stephen Sills Associates.  It was with Stephen Sills where Kelly assisted on some of the most luxurious and well-published residences around the United States. These projects have been published in Architectural Digest, World of Interiors, Elle Décor, and Stephen’s book, Stephen Sills Decoration.

Kelly Knight believes strongly that a home’s interiors should be a reflection of the people who live there and the things they love. By mixing unusual fabrics, textures, and antiques with refined furniture she creates a signature blend that honors both simple architectural backgrounds and the more ornate and historic. And, while the practicality of materials and finishes plays a key design role, Kelly knows that every last detail down to the small accessories informs your space and expresses the look you envision. 

Guided by the philosophy that the client’s personality and utilization of space are the perfect recipes for a successful process, Kelly combines her twenty-plus years in the design world with an innate creative ability for identifying just what it takes to make your space truly come alive. 

Kelly Knight Design is based in Savannah Georgia and works with clients around the country.
