Sey Interiors
Kristen Reyes
Interior Designer
Warm, personality-driven interiors built for the way you actually live.
Kristen Reyes founded Sey Interiors on a simple belief: that a home should feel unmistakably like the people who live in it. Her approach begins with deep listening, drawing out what clients want from their space even when they struggle to put it into words. The result is interiors that feel personal and grounded, warm without being fussy.
Before launching Sey Interiors, Kristen spent years working in large-scale commercial design, an experience that shapes how she manages complex residential projects today. She brings the same rigor to a family home renovation as she would to any large-scale buildout: careful coordination, clear communication, and a process that keeps clients from feeling overwhelmed.

Q
How would you describe your design style in your own words?
A
Our design style is warm, approachable, and personality-driven. We begin every project by empathetically understanding our clients, using that insight to guide every decision. We see our role as a trusted advocate, helping clients articulate what they want from their home, even when they are not quite sure how to express it yet. Our style is the client's style brought to fruition through our lens.
We are drawn to homes with good bones and character, and we focus on unlocking their potential through thoughtful layouts, custom details, and quality craftsmanship. The result is a home that feels welcoming and livable, reflects the people who live there, and works beautifully for everyday life while adding long-term value.
Q
What kinds of projects or clients are you best suited for right now, and why?
A
We are best suited for busy, professional families who are ready to thoughtfully invest in their homes and value a collaborative, well-defined process. Many of our clients are renovating or reworking homes they plan to live in long-term, and they are looking for a trusted partner who can guide both the design and the many decisions that come with a major project.
Our background in large-scale commercial interiors shapes the way we approach residential work today, bringing a strong understanding of construction, coordination, and project management. This experience is especially valuable during complex, full-home renovations where clarity and communication matter. We work closely with architects and builders, serving as a liaison throughout the process. That partnership allows us to manage complex projects with clarity and care, creating homes that are thoughtfully planned, well executed, and built to support families over time.
Q
Where do you believe thoughtful investment makes the biggest difference in a home?
A
Thoughtful investment makes the biggest difference in the foundational decisions that shape how a home functions over time. Layout, flow, and the way spaces connect to support daily routines are often far more impactful than surface-level updates.
Spaces like the kitchen are a good example. When circulation, storage, and functionality are carefully considered from the start, the space can support both everyday life and larger moments of gathering. We encourage clients to prioritize improvements that are difficult to change later, such as reworking key spaces, addressing structural limitations, and investing in quality materials and craftsmanship. When these decisions are made well, they enhance daily use while also protecting the long-term value of the home.
