Meet the Designer

Krystal Hudson.

With more than a decade of residential remodel experience, Krystal leads KHDS as both architectural designer and interior designer — a rare pairing that lets her shape a home from the floor plan up.

Her approach starts with listening. She translates how you want to live into floor plans, finishes and furnishings, then guides the whole process — permits, vendors, installs — so the journey feels considered and calm. The result: interiors that are warm, editorial and unmistakably yours.

In Their Words
★★★★★

"We hired Krystal as the designer for our whole-house remodel in West LA — one of the best decisions we made. She listened, put together floor plan options, and led the entire permit and vendor process. She kept us in the loop and made an otherwise stressful process enjoyable. Months later, we moved into our beautiful house."

Good to Know

Questions, answered.

How does the design consultation work?

It's a focused sit-down where Krystal reviews your space, goals and budget, then outlines a clear path forward. The consultation is $250 and is credited toward your project when you move ahead.

Do you handle both architectural drawings and interior design?

Yes. KHDS offers architectural drawings and permit sets as well as full interior design, so your home can be shaped cohesively from the floor plan through the final styling. Krystal is an architectural designer, not a licensed architect — where a project requires an architect's stamp, she coordinates directly with a licensed architect or engineer on your behalf.

Can you manage my whole remodel?

We can. Project management is one of our core services — we coordinate vendors, timelines and installs so the process stays smooth from concept to completion.

Do you work with investors or home sellers?

Absolutely. We provide value-focused design and staging for investors and sellers — Krystal even authored a guide, SOLD, on preparing homes to sell for more.

Do you offer virtual or out-of-area design?

Yes — in addition to serving the Chicago western suburbs, travel and virtual residential design services are available. Book a consultation and we'll find the right fit.
