Katie Tompkins
Residential & Retail Interior Designer
I’m Katie, a Charlotte-based designer focused on creating beautiful and functional spaces in residential and retail environments.
Residential, Reconsidered
A home is meant to be lived in, enjoyed, and treasured. Too often, interior design turns the home into a magazine or museum, destined to be only viewed. When I work with a home, I attempt to turn it into the best version of itself, and a reflection of its owners. Function is at the core of my design philosophy, followed closely by aesthetics, comfort, and relateability.
The Retail Experience
Experiential Retail is the new online shopping. Creating a space that guests enjoy as much as your offerings is more important than ever; it gives them another reason to return and to share the experience with their friends and family. Beautiful displays and layouts create a connection with your clientele the second they walk through the door.
About me
My design career started in retail, as the principal designer and co-owner of Creative by Nature in Charlotte. I've lived in the home decor world for nearly a decade. I want to bring that experience into homes throughout the area. Your home should be beautiful and functional; it should make sense. Stores are meant to be shopped in, and homes are meant to be lived in. I focus on creating beautiful, functional spaces that feel as good as they look.
