Creating Timeless and Beautiful Spaces

For the team here at KB Design, creating timeless and beautiful spaces that reflect the lifestyles of our clients is second nature.

With over 35 years of combined experience in designing and transforming spaces - from interior design and styling to remodeling and reinventing - we are a full-service residential and commercial design firm based in Virginia Beach, VA.

We take a curated approach to every project we design and specialize in transforming both homes and work spaces into chic, comfortable retreats where our clients can experience growth and peace. Our team works with intention, crafting layered interiors designed to grow with our clients - producing well-considered spaces brought to life with thoughtfulness and purpose. Integrity and connection is at the heart of every project we take on.

Our design services can be enjoyed both locally and remotely, as our team is experienced in the art of providing virtual design services – regardless of location or project scale. We work with licensed contractors for local remodels, and have a wealth of vendor contacts and connections to make the process go as smoothly as possible for our clients.

We are fueled by the unmistakable power that design has to impact and improve our clients’ lives. No matter where you are in your journey - whether you’re ready to take back your sanity by finally redesigning a closet, ready to remodel your whole house or office suite to create your dream space, or anything in between - we will gladly partner with you to make it happen.

Katie Beth Steele

Unstoppable CEO and Founder

KB Design is both my mission and my passion. I studied design at the New York Institute of Art and Design, but never thought I’d be able to turn what I loved into a career. But after years of working in the corporate world of real estate development as a single mama to a special needs child, I was deeply burnt out and praying for a change. That’s when KB Design was born, and since then every day has become a day of meaning and love as opposed to clock-punching and paying bills. My team is so special, and they are the glue that holds this operation together. My clients have become the truest blessings and dear friends. At the end of the day, this has nothing to do with making things pretty. It is reaching deep into family stories and creating a canvas that only speaks for them. Thank you to each and every one of you for allowing me to bless your precious spaces.

Additionally, she takes the lead on design in our North Carolina and Texas districts, which helps set us apart from the rest. That kind voice who feels like your instant bestie when you book your first call... that’s her. That’s our Kimi.
