Design

Karen Beckwith Art & Interiors

There are a thousand choices to be made when we commit to making a home. Decisions concerning function, budget, and aesthetics can for many people, become overwhelming.

Whether you seek the transformation of a single room or an entire property, I can help. With thirty years of experience in the field of design, my company has been providing design and color consultations to a local and international clientele since 1984, bringing sensitivity and a sense of fun.

I am a fine art painter, as well as a designer, and I have a deep understanding of color and it’s effect on space as well as the human psyche. More than any other tool in my design toolbox, color can have the most profound impact on your project. If you would like to help in selecting the right interior & exterior palettes, we can turn a daunting and sometimes frustrating process into a fulfilling creative experience.

My interest in creating homes that are healthy for people and for the planet has led me to become a founding member of the US Green Builders Association/Berkshire Branch. Much of my design inspiration is found in nature, and my environmental concerns often influence my recommendations for energy efficient insulation, fixtures and non-toxic materials.

The studio is located in the delightful Berkshire town of Lenox MA. All projects are completed on a consulting, hourly rate basis. Renovation, new construction, residential and commercial projects are most welcome.
