From the beginning and throughout our project, Kara and Kamarron Design were a delight to work with. Kara impressed me with her ability to listen to the tastes, styles and needs of our family and then execute a design plan that matched up perfectly with our expectations. We found Kamarron, led by Kara, to have the right balance between providing great profession design guidance and accommodating the practical needs of a house that will be "lived in" by an active family. It is without reservation that I recommend Kara and Kamarron.

We had been moving around for twenty years as a military family. It was time to finally buy our first home and actually settle in. 'Our choice was a fairly new home and we wanted it to be nicely furnished for the next phase of our lives. We were flexible with our choices and visited numerous places and continually wanted different things. This quickly became fiustrating and time consuming so we were recommended to call Kamarron Design.
Kara arrived at our home at the time of our convenience (we didn't have to go anywhere). I truly appreciated her professionalism and confidence to assist us with what we wanted and needed. She gathered our desires for the house and helped us prioritize the order of work. We couldn't afford to do it all at once so she encouraged us to do it in stages allowing us to maintain a consistent design quality through out our home. There were a couple of problems with the numerous of things that we changed and ordered for our home, yet we had to do nothing but call Kamarron Design and all was taken care of with out one trip to any store or anywhere.
We love our home and so does everyone who comes to visits. We are still working through our stages for our home. Kara periodically checks in and lets us know with out pressure what is new and reminds us to continue investing in our home. It definitely takes time and money to build a beautiful home but we are blessed and thankful for the beauty of ours.

I just want you to know how much we are still enjoying our new kitchen. Honestly, it's as fabulous, useful and as loved as it was 18 months ago when it was completed. We LIVE in the kitchen-it meets all our needs and is just such a lovely and functional place to be. It is most definitely the heart of our home. Working with Araya and everyone was such a super experience. We've recommended you often! Hope all is well and you will definitely hear from us again if another project surfaces.

Years ago my wife and I chose to update our home of 16 years. To our tremendous good fortune we met Kara of Kamarron Design while shopping for furniture. She offered to prepare a plan for our living room, dining room and kitchen. Her plan was bold and creative, taking us to level of design beyond our expectations. She clearly understood what we wanted for our home.
In the five years since our first experience with Kara we have remodeled every room in our home. Her use of color and texture combined with a keen sense for accessorizing have provided us with a home that is warm and welcoming. Every day we enjoy the comfort and beauty of home. Working with Kara has been a enjoyable and rewarding experience. We are really glad we had the good fortune to have met Kara five years ago.

We at Lights on Broadway have partnered with Kara and Kamarron Design for five years. Kara has a wonderful sense of design and her expertise is unequalled. It’s rare that a creative designer is also a good business person and Kara is both. She is a professional who focuses on what is best for her clients and partners with vendors who conform to that expectation and level of service.

What has impressed me about Kamarron Design is the profound dedication of the designer to the client. Kara listens to her clients and becomes acutely aware of thier desires. She then stops at nothing to make those desires become reality. As a vendor I am proud to work on jobs for her and her clients. I highly recommend Kamarron Design.

We continue to love our kitchen and bathrooms, we receive many compliments on all of them. You did a fantastic job!!! Araya was easy to work with and our rooms turned out better than we could have imagined. Thanks again!

Kamarron Design Inc. is always open to ideas and suggestions. They ask for installation details prior to a fabrication install to be sure the correct hardware and tools are at the job site. When the team at Kamarron and I work on a project, we put our ideas together to be sure the installation of the product is done correctly and without error - always ending up with success. All of their clients are pleased when I see them and appreciate the attention to detail the firm gives. I believe Kara delivers confidence & assurance, as well as quality unique products to her clients. In my opinion, Kamarron Design, Inc. is dependable, honest, backs products & workmanship, is polite, and returns phone calls promptly.

As a photographer with 25 yrs. experience, it has truly been a pleasure working with someone as professional and insightful as Kara Karpenske. Kara's unending attention to detail and her uncanny ability to foresee the future--with her exceptional interior design style--makes every job I photograph for Kamarron Design a project to remember. Can't wait for the next job!

Kara, and Kamarron Design, was most helpful during our recent kitchen/dining/living room remodel. We had shopped on our own, before realizing that we desperately needed help in making these rooms both appealing and livable. We had already chosen a remodeling company and cabinet maker, but Kara helped us in the selection of flooring, furniture, window treatments, and accessories. We would highly recommend her professional skills to others. She was very successful in working within the budget we had established, and was always available to address our questions and concerns. We realize that we never would have been able to “customize” this space on our own and truly appreciated her help.

Kara is professional, creative, detail oriented and fun!.
I enjoy working with her . She also has very reliable, friendly and competent sub contractors. She even puts up with cranky clients!!
Bonnie L., Woodbury, MN
WOW, our kitchen project came together beautifully. We use it everyday, we never knew our house could fit our needs like it does. Instead of selling we are going to stay in our house! Thanks for all your help Araya, we could not have handled all the details without you. Our only regret: We wish we would have done the project sooner.
Leigh L., Golden Valley, MN
I had some idea of what I wanted, but Araya was able to take my ideas and bring them to the next level. Now we have a beautiful kitchen!! The process was everything we could have hoped and more. We LOVE our new kitchen!

We have been very pleased with the professionalism and overall services provided by Kara and the team at Kamarron Design. They have demonstrated excellent design expertise and were able to quickly assimilate our tastes and preferences. We appreciate Kamarron Design's collaborative approach to working with its clients. Options were provided on what would best fit our needs and we were actively engaged in final design decisions. We appreciate Kamarron Design's responsiveness and flexibility in accommodating our busy schedules. We plan to use Kamarron Design in the future to enhance additional areas of our home and we would highly recommend Kamarron Design to others.

I have been working with Kamarron Design, Inc for a little over a year as one of their general contractors and really enjoy the working with Kara on upper end projects.She has an eye for great design ideas. When her projects are complete the word “WOW” is used quite a bit by her clients. She has great ideas for tile design and her lighting schemes always add so much to her projects over all feel. I look forward to working with Kamarron Design on future projects because our work is always appreciated when the projects are complete.
Scott, B., Lino Lakes, MN
I wanted to use local products as much and possible and be earth conscious by using sustainable materials. I also didn't want a carbon copy kitchen. With Araya's help we were able to create a kitchen that is not only completely unique but also family safe and earth friendly.
Vicky G., Apple Valley, MN

We will continue to work with her and would always recommend her to anyone at any project level. The things we have are truely unique and interesting! Thank you Kara!
Sara & Matt R., San Diego, CA
We were referred to Kara though friends of ours and were slightly hesitant about working with an interior designer. When we met with her we were immediately put at ease. Her ideas were innovative and fresh and she understood what our style was. We completed our home in Minnesota and after only a year a job change made us move to Florida. Kara assisted us in the process of selecting a home and re-designing rooms with most of the furnishings we had recently purchased through Kamarron Design. We had to add more items, but Kara could transfer her vision to our new home. We are very greatful. We would highly recommend Kara and consider her a friend.
Barb & John M., Tampa, FL
We were impressed with Kara's diligence and focus on getting the job done quickly and to our satisfaction. Her ideas and creativity expanded our horizons and we have a great-looking home to show for it.
