She honored my personal tastes while gently encouraging me to explore new directions, helping me discover a palette and design language that felt authentic yet evolved.

Kim Colwell is an interior design and feng shui master!! I have had the privilege of working with Kim for over 10 years now. I will not move in to a new home or workplace without Kim’s blessings and magic touch.
She guides you in finding the right design and colors that best represent you and what you want to create in your life and business.
Every time our friends and family walk into our home, they instantly feel a sense of love and happiness, always wanting to extend their stay. And at my skin studio, our clients comment daily on the peace and serenity they feel upon first walking through the front door.
We actually have clients that fall asleep on our facial beds, sometimes releasing tears of joy. Often times my clients say they don’t want to leave. Much of this is gratitude to Kim.
Kim designed my store on Robertson blvd. Gorgeous and ethereal, with incredible attention to detail, she captured the essence of my brand while giving my clients an ambiance that was truly magical. I am currently working with her on my house and am just as happy and excited for the results.
Kim! It looks so amazing. We can’t believe this is our house!
“I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for Kim, my incredible interior designer and feng shui guide for all the spas I have had.
Kim’s eye for detail ensures nothing is overlooked. She not only provides options that align with my vision, but goes above and beyond to ensure that my expectations are met.
I truly appreciate how she thoughtfully presents ideas I might not have considered, always keeping my preferences in mind. I cannot highly recommend Kim enough.
She pulled off an amazing fusion of styles that completely captured my aesthetic. My house is a gem, my friends all rave about it, and I’m planning to build a guest house on the property. Without a doubt Kim will be designing that as well.
In addition to making my home look chic and hip, Kim’s comprehensive knowledge of Feng Shui also ensured that every piece in my new place was positioned in the right spot and also that that before we bought anything we were aware of the energy that the object would bring to my space. Working with Kim and her approach to design was a fun, creative and extremely rewarding process.
My place is fabulous! Every time I walk into my house I feel at peace and thankful for all her incredible hard work, creativity and impeccable taste.
Production Design
Kim’s imaginative and forward-looking approach opened up a world of possibility for our teams when she consulted on production design concepts for films and a traveling installation piece space. Kim understands the ecosystem of people, connection to the environment, and the places where something great happens–not from imposing a design on a space, but generating great design that arises from what the space will create for us.
Real Estate | Staging
Kim was an incredible partner on this listing. Her eye, intention, and professionalism elevated the property in every way. A true team player, our collaboration was seamless.
When listing a home that the sellers still live in, staging and showings can be especially challenging. Kim found the balance between making the space neutral and appealing to all buyers while minimizing disruption for the sellers.
Thoughtfully editing out personal belongings, she beautifully curated subtle additions, and brought a warm and inviting atmosphere that buyers instantly connected with. The feng shui positive energy was palpable.
Kim’s design is for healing, well-being. Sacred dream building. Vision making. Decompressing, or …simply living your best life.
Thanks for letting me be me Kim. I always have to be in charge and have an answer and it’s nice to give that responsibility to somebody else, but that also says a lot about you that I’m able to trust what you do.
You are truly joy with amazing skills, and a wonderful professional to work with. Working with you has been nothing but blessing. My home is so powderful and has loving energy. Not to mention, it could not get done without you! Keep sending you lots of appreciation.
Kim’s approach to our space revitalization was a truly wonderful process of discovery. She came up with smart solutions that would generate better harmony in our relationship. She really takes the time to get into one’s psyche, targeting certain objects from the past that can inhibit one from moving forward to achieve feeling more grounded, focused and above all, inspired. We are grateful to her.
You have a wonderful combination of design, understanding of energy in the home and how that all impacts a person, home and our family. I think that you came up with beautiful plans for every aspect of our home today. It is clear to me that it will be what we wanted, and more!
Every expectation was exceeded.
She took into consideration stuff like modern aesthetic principles and my budget, but that’s where a comparison with other designers ends.
Kim provides a service that nobody else can touch, due to her Feng shui-based and Shamanic knowledge, that’s been passed down through the generations.
Kim wanted to know about my aims in my inner life and historic expression, as much as my dreams for the future, and present psychological state.
The result is a cross between home design consultancy and transformational healing.
My home is in Manhattan, an oasis in this cool, urban city. I reached out to Kim to refresh my space and solidify a feeling of comfort.
Kim’s advice was way beyond these surface values – it was medicine. Balance to support these days, and that’s what I got.
Kim gave me custom, tailored, in-depth and rigorously-detailed advice, detailing exactly how she came to her prescription. It’s a prescription based on the inner and outer factors of our lives, equal to the prescription that a naturopath or acupuncturist or herbalist would make.
It takes into account design, for sure, but I gained so much in terms of inner comfort and a sense of peace and hope for the future.
Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world, Kim! You are a unique force for good, and I’m so delighted to receive your wisdom at this time in my life’s journey.
Working with Kim was incredible! She helped me convert a blank wall into a space where I feel comfortable and confident on Zoom. She had so many great ideas that I hadn’t thought of and guided me to create a look based on my personal style, brand aesthetic and mission. It was simple and inexpensive, yet made a huge difference! Not only is Kim a super talented designer, she was kind, patient and supportive throughout the entire process. Thank you for your guidance and expertise, Kim!
I had never thought of living in a house with blush pink before…until I met Kim.
I have been really happy for 3 years with the colors Kim picked for me. My life has been only up and great. This house empowered and healed me.
Kim made my color palette of what truly lifts my mood by analyzing with her deep knowledge of feng shui and gave me a huge amount of detailed information that created the foundation for my house.
My wife and I were blown away by Kim’s work: how quickly she processed the info from her onsite interview with us and how effectively she applied that info to suggestions….I’ve always been interested in the cause and effect stories detailing Feng Shui. And with Kim, we experienced them firsthand. The wealth area in our house is in our office. Kim took one look and instantly saw areas of clutter that we weren’t able to overcome with the existing furniture and space limitations. She suggested my wife and I swap desks and get rid of the open (cluttered) bookshelf which we donated to American vets. In its place, we purchased a second lateral file cabinet and gradually cleared all the junk on top of our desks. And presto, all the clutter was gone. My wife was much happier with a smaller desk, and I was happier with a larger one which allowed me to hide the waste basket underneath and with easy access. It was brilliant. The change in the feeling just walking in the room was magical.
The new openness to an unblocked sliding glass door created a pocket of fresh air to breathe and an energy for focus and creativity that wasn’t there before. As they say in Feng Shui jargon, the chi was free. Then less than a week later, I cemented a business alliance that was in progress for over 10 years. And the deals are rolling in. Coincidence? I think not. The change in focus in both my wife and myself is palpable and continually improving for us both….In hindsight, one could say, obviously it looks much better, why didn’t we do that before. The only answer I can give is that I thought we were doing a good job but it turns out we needed Kim for fine tuning.
Thank you again Kim for a great solution to that problem. You are incredible!
“I feel like a whole other world has been opened to me.” When asked what the most enjoyable part of the class was, “I really enjoyed the dowsing and practice in your friend’s home. I loved your communication to her and how you explained your work to her.” Also, “having the information printed in an easy format helped to collect thoughts. I love that I can go back through and re vist what I learned. It was such a wonderful experience…far more than I anticipated. I will be in touch about taking more classes.”
The Feng Shui class was beyond what I was expecting. The depth of information from many different perspectives I believe makes this a unique, insightful and powerful course. Kim did an excellent job of meeting me where I am with my knowledge and learning style. I love the flexibility of the course and hands on approach.
Finding this Feng Shui course was kismet. I was struck by how authentic Kim’s approach was and how each space she designed felt like it had been lovingly tailored to that client to solve their individual needs while being mindful of their personality and aesthetic. Talking to Kim sealed the deal! Her enthusiasm for Feng Shui was palpable and I knew instantly I wanted her to be my teacher.
Kim has done an amazing job of bringing in relevant experience and wisdom to create a course that is unlike any other. What I love most about Kim’s approach is how she incorporates so many layers of nuance and sensitivity to create environments that are completely bespoke to the person she is working with. It would be easy to memorize the fundamental principles of Feng Shui and apply a one size fits all approach, but this course taught me to how to use the practice in a way that is profound.
Kim is one of the kindest and special people I have ever met. She is so passionate about what she is teaching and it is a joy to learn from someone who loves what they do. I am so appreciative of her patience and her willingness to customize the course to my learning style. I really cannot say enough good things! This course has completely changed my life and the way I view space and how it impacts the way we function and view the world. It is such a wonderful feeling to know I can positively affect people and the way they live with all the knowledge I now possess after studying with Kim.
