“Our Lake Winnipesaukee home on Brendan’s Corner in Moultonborough, NH has been in the family for almost 40 Years. Originally more a lake cottage, there had been various expansions over those many years. The immense project and challenge that Kristen Wright came upon in 2020/21 was to 90% design, rebuild, renovate, expand and modernize - while also maintaining the charm, legacy & history of the original property. Kristen expertly wove many aspects of the original into the final product. The ultimate design, layout, furniture and artwork resulted in about a 75/25 new/old ratio - which is exactly what we were striving towards. Further, Kristen served as the ultimate Project Manager. It almost does her a disservice to refer to her the interior designer in the context of this major project. She truly managed the vision, space planning, sourcing fixtures and furnishings, plumbing, electrical, storage and move-in logistics, budgeting and much, much more – all while traveling back and forth between states and remaining cost conscious. The O’Connor family is grateful for her talents and the new Lake Home!”

“Right after the pandemic, we made a renewed commitment to our home of over 35 years. We decided we were going to stay another fifteen years or so, but we really wanted to update many rooms which frankly were feeling dated and tired. We wanted to consider alternative layouts, update the color palette, refresh the lighting, rework a fireplace, and buy (a lot of) new furniture and wall art for our living room, kitchen, dining room, and master bedroom. Kristen wound up being the perfect designer for our project, since she brought an incredibly diverse skill set, many creative ideas, and an unbelievably skilled (and nice) team of construction professionals along with her. Kristen is also a stellar project manager and communicator. Throughout the project, Kristen was always available to us (almost 24/7), she was highly efficient, never flustered, and able to handle very last-minute changes. (When we called her in a panic on a Friday to change cabinetry color, countertop, and backsplash in the kitchen, she miraculously rearranged everything and made new purchases for an install 3 days later!!) We truly and highly recommend Kristen without any reservations. She’s the best!”

“Kristen Wright Design hits all the notes in interior design and flow. The layout is effortless, elevated and timeless. I have never met a woman more engaged with the build teams, more committed to the timeline or emotionally invested in the end result. She hits it out of the park every time.”

“I initially sought Kristen’s help to design a room within our house that needs to function in multiple capacities. Kristen was able to provide us with multiple options on layout, furniture and art, all while keeping the overall vision and budget in mind. What turned out to be working together on a single project, turned into over a two year working relationship to overhaul our kitchen, master bedroom and bathroom. Kristen’s attention to detail, depth of knowledge and relationships within the design and contracting world are the essential combination. When we are ready for the next project or home, there is no one else I would turn to! “

“After living in the home we built 11 years ago, we knew the time had come for updating and refreshing of the décor. We were certain we did not want to spend a fortune on new kitchens and bathrooms etc. - purely a cosmetic reboot. Kristen Wright Design provided the perfect balance of fresh ideas for our numerous small projects without breaking our budget nor disrupting our busy home & professional lives. Prudent & frugally creative furniture and light fixtures, new countertops & hardware, paint colors, window treatments, rugs, wallpaper, new study space for our growing children, strategic reorganization of bookshelves and closet space - and on and on. Kristen combines the creative flair and expertise of a high end designer with the willingness to block, tackle and execute design, layout & home organization from idea to finish. The logistics of these projects can be as important as the final product - Kristen is a pro at delivering on both fronts.”

“I have been working with Kristen since 2016, as the designer of all the new homes for Harborview Development, and on renovating and updating all the rental properties in the Harborview Rentals portfolio. Kristen has been instrumental in making sure these new homes appeal to a wide audience of
potential buyers by making sure their design reflects all the most current and appealing design trends. She has been integral in working together with buyers throughout the finish process. In helping and guiding them through the design process, including, choosing colors, fixtures, finishes, etc. She is always fully versed in the newest and different types of building materials, lines of appliances, plumbing finishes, etc., which adds tremendous value to me and the homebuyers.
For Harborview’s rental properties, Kristen has always been extremely helpful in making sure every residence is designed with the most up to date lifestyle features that today’s sophisticated renter requires. The trim level sometimes varies between units, and Kristen is always thoughtful and careful about keeping within my budget without sacrificing design standards.
I work with Kristen because she is very thorough, has a tremendous list of valuable contacts, and handles every job personally and professionally. When I ask Kristen to handle the design, I know it will be done at an exceptional level, and on time. This is a huge benefit to me so I can focus on the rest of the building process.”
