From new construction to renovation to re-furnishing, Haus Interior Design approaches each project with professionalism and creative rigor. Our process begins with design development alongside the client, but as the vision coalesces, the success of our projects depends in large part on the efficient execution of design plans. Budgets and timelines are as important as the weave of a fabric or the lines in a piece of art. It all has to work together to achieve client objectives.

Kirsten Kaplan, Principal Designer

Kirsten Kaplan started her career in design 20 years ago in San Francisco, and carried her clean, unfussy, light-filled aesthetic with her to DC, where she founded Haus Interior Design in 2005. She brings an unusual combination of skills to every project: an MBA from Yale, experience in construction and a childhood spent surrounded by iconic furnishings and art. She adeptly handles all phases of a comprehensive design project, from overall vision-casting to detailed implementation.

Kirsten oversees every aspect of each project. Thousands of decisions need to be made that require an immediate response during any project. She is committed to acting quickly and in the best interests of our clients, while professionally accomplishing the goals we set forth from the start.

She creates bespoke interiors with expertise and professionalism. From traditional elegance to classic simplicity, we have a broad range of design capabilities and creative talent. Whether a project involves renovation or turnkey furnishing, our clients are confident knowing we will oversee every detail and decision, from the initial consultation to the final reveal.
