Eclectic and livable style is the hallmark of designer’s creations
Ki Ki Lee Herr, principal designer, as well as buyer and merchandiser, at Made New Interiors and Décor in Southport, NC, is known for blending diverse styles into functional and beautiful spaces. Her career spans high-profile projects for celebrities, international clients and major corporations.
As a child, Herr grew up in many places and was always curious about people and the items that are important to them. She could often be found at the homes of her neighbors, helping them organize and find missing treasures. Listening to stories about neighbors’ belongings fostered in Herr an interest in design.
Herr’s work stands out for her deep understanding of client needs and her passion for creating personalized environments. Her eclectic style – modern minimalism, shabby chic, coastal charm and Scandinavian influences – reflects her clients’ personalities and lifestyles.
The foundation of Herr’s services can be found in wellness-focused interior design. She prioritizes clients’ quality of life, whatever that means for them, through thoughtful design. She also champions aging in place and Universal Design, redesigning homes for safety and comfort. Her values of compassion and community service shine through her projects, and she is beloved for her empathetic approach to design.
A seasoned traveler, Herr embraces a bi-coastal way of life and draws inspiration from the beautiful places she has visited. Having recently relocated from California to an historic North Carolina homestead cottage, she brings the beauty of the coasts and the natural world around her to her projects.
