full-service or virtual interior design for homes and restaurants |
The better I get to know you, the better I design for you. I believe the soul of the person becomes the soul of the space. I translate your priorities, values, taste, and style into beautifully crafted interiors that welcome your family, friends, and guests with grace. -Karen
With decades of full-time experience in multimillion-dollar hospitality projects and residential interior design, Karen brings an artist's eye as an accomplished oil painter, the discipline of her Wall Street training, and a deeply rooted Georgetown life and design heritage to your project. After a meticulous plan and vision first, Karen creates the design, puts it into 2D drawings and 3D photorealistic illustrations, outlines the budget direction, and presents it to you so you can review, discuss, refine, and approve the direction before spending money on furniture, finishes, renovation, construction, or installation. At Karen McCooey Studios, we help prevent expensive guessing. Then we bring your approved vision to life.

For the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of working with homeowners and restaurant owners to bring their design visions to life. My designs are influenced by the many years I spent working alongside my late husband, Richard McCooey, in our Georgetown-based restaurant design firm. Richard was a vibrant, delightful light of a person, a design and hospitality genius. Together we traveled widely and collaborated on the design of some of the world’s finest restaurants, resorts, and private homes. I’m deeply grateful for the time I had with Richard and the life we shared. That legacy continues to inspire and guide me and every project I undertake. - Karen
