Live Beautifully
Recognized as one of the Northeast's leading luxury interior design firms, Stephanie Kraus Designs has built its reputation on a signature philosophy: livable luxury—beautiful homes designed for real life.
Creating this feeling of effortless luxury isn't accidental. We design beyond the look of a room, considering how every space will function, connect and evolve over time.
SKD specializes in multigenerational legacy homes that balance sophisticated aesthetics with warmth, functionality, personalization and timelessness. Every project is thoughtfully tailored to the people who live there — their routines, traditions, passions, and the way they gather.
Because livable luxury is not simply what you see. It is how beautifully your home supports the way you live.

"SKD is a class act from start to finish."
"Their aesthetic is stunning and speaks for itself, but their vision, professionalism and end-to-end project management gave me confidence the home would be brought to life in a new and beautiful way.
We've now done two projects with SKD, including a full remodel of a 1920s farmhouse and barn. Their creative ideas helped shape the flow of our home in a way we could have never imagined. Their taste in colors, materials and products is impeccable. And the team is warm, caring and easy to work with. The highest recommendation!"

"Working with you and the SKD team was like getting to see the Rolling Stones in concert…"
"...you know you’ll be in the presence of greatness but somehow you’re left leaving the show even more impressed with the artist than you were going in."

"I couldn’t have imagined something better."
"It was a dream. I thought to compose you a message last night and honestly was speechless from being so overjoyed and so I waited. I couldn’t have imagined something better. You seriously brought to life a home I have wanted, but could never bring to reality myself. It was such a gift. It is functional and beautiful and so peaceful and I feel so beyond lucky to call it mine."

"You looked into our hearts and souls to build a vision we could never see, but can absolutely feel."
"I suspect you hear all the time how wonderful you and your team are to work with and what amazing, innovative and inspiring designs you create. For us, it is so much more. We consider you part of the family… you looked into our hearts and souls to build a vision we could never see, but can absolutely feel. We are still processing the joy and our home fills us with pride every day."
