The Designer

“Luxury isn’t just about what you see—it’s about how a space makes you feel. It’s the perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and heart.” ~ Kaylee Pauley

From the foothills of New Mexico’s Sandia Mountains to the rolling hills of Tennessee, Kaylee Pauley’s design philosophy has been shaped by a lifelong connection to the outdoors. Early memories of hiking wildflower-filled trails and sitting by roaring waterfalls fostered a deep appreciation for texture, balance, and the effortless beauty found in nature—elements that now influence every space she designs.

Kaylee believes that the spaces we inhabit are more than backdrops—they are reflections of who we are, the stories we carry, and the lives we live. With each project, she begins by meeting her clients to hear their stories and understand their journey, ensuring that the home she designs reflects the beauty of who they are. Guided by artistic intuition and inspired by these unique stories, Kaylee crafts bespoke interiors that seamlessly balance functionality and beauty, exuding warmth, elegance, and authenticity.

In 2009, Kaylee graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Interior Design from Middle Tennessee State University. Before founding her design studio, she honed her craft at a high-end residential design firm in Nashville, collaborating closely with architects, builders, and artisans. There, she discovered her gift for marrying creative vision with meticulous detail—a hallmark of her timeless, layered designs that effortlessly combine comfort and sophistication.

Kaylee’s own home reflects her belief that design is most powerful when it balances personal history with modern living. By blending antiques collected over the years with contemporary elements, she exemplifies her philosophy of creating thoughtful, meaningful spaces. While every home tells a different story, her approach ensures each design is a true reflection of the people who live there.

Now based in Franklin, Tennessee, Kaylee’s work is rooted in a passion for crafting environments that elevate everyday living and foster meaningful connections. Her clients trust her not just to design their homes but to help tell their stories with beauty and intention. Whether designing a serene retreat or a vibrant gathering space, her thoughtful attention to detail ensures that each project exudes authenticity and timeless charm.
