Portrait of Keita Turner, founder of Keita Turner Design

Born in Houston, Texas and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Keita Turner is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design with an extensive background in both fashion and interior design.

Her acclaimed full-service interior and product design studio offers expertise in residential, commercial, and retail interior design, with a focus on full-scale renovations, new-build construction, and fully furnished surroundings. Working closely with architects, builders, contractors, artisans, and custom furniture makers, Keita Turner Design has produced bespoke environments for numerous high-profile clients across the country and beyond.

With over twenty years of experience, Turner produces interiors characterized by a confident, chic, and ageless elegance that invigorate, inspire, calm, and balance the senses, designs that are clean and functional, warm and inviting, suitable and inspirational, but most importantly that uplift the human spirit.

“Using the client's lifestyle as my canvas, I design environments that both adapt to and convey the motivations, ethos, and habitudes of my clients.”

A Fashion Sensibility

Interiors composed like a couture collection

Turner's goal as a design professional is to provide her clients with satisfaction, balance, order, esthetics, productivity, challenge, and abundance. She personally understands the effects an environment can have on one's life or business, and develops surroundings that play a valuable role in the life her clients want to lead.

Turner has also added home décor product design to her repertoire with Livvy & Neva, a fashionable vintage and contemporary pillow collection named by House Beautiful to its roster of the best home stores in America.

Client Perspective

Hear from the people who matter

The Navarros Private Residence
“Keita worked with me to find out my key wants, wishes and can't-do-withouts. I am so happy with the beautifully finished spaces. She is a great designer, but she is also a fantastic listener.”
Cassandra Bromfield Co-op Renovation
“Keita transformed an apartment that needed a lot of work into a must-have, beautiful apartment. Thanks to her keen eye, we received several offers, sight unseen.”
