A room is not just space, It’s personal!

I create inviting homes with warmth and sophistication guided by the Five Element Theory. I curate spaces that are visually appealing and deeply comforting. I really get you! By tailoring your unique style holistically I will transform your home into an authentic reflection of who YOU are.

 I Believe…


Through study and intuition, I've come to recognize the connection between our spaces and emotional well-being. Life can be stressful, and our homes should be a sanctuary, not a source of stress. Let me guide you in selecting design elements like colors, textures, and layout to promote balance and nurture your physical and emotional health. I genuinely believe that interiors mirror our inner emotions, and I'm here to create a living space that reflects your spirit and lifestyle.

 My Approach…

Design is personal to me, and I greatly appreciate the trust placed in me to shape these significant spaces. My aim is to simplify your life and cultivate a beautiful nurturing environment within your home. I embrace the principles of Five Element Theory to achieve design harmony. By drawing inspiration from these elements, I blend textures, colors, and finishes in your space, crafting a home that not only exudes beauty but also fosters physical and emotional well-being.

The Result…

I serve my valued clients with a holistic touch, utilizing my expertise and keen eye for detail. This approach ensures timely and budget-friendly project delivery, culminating in delightful results. My objective is to make the interior design process a genuinely satisfying experience for our clients. Following established procedures, crafting a pleasing "Elemental Experience" for my clients throughout the project.

Meet Kim Channey

With a deep-rooted appreciation for the art of interior design, I have consistently taken a thoughtful and inspiring approach to my craft. My journey began in the heart of the South, where my love for both hospitality and creating beautiful spaces took hold. Early on, I observed my mother's talent for transforming our home seasonally with simple changes, realizing that rooms aren't just walls but tangible expressions of our feelings and our way of navigating the world.

Driven by this belief, I dedicated myself to understanding the intricate relationship between space and well-being, seeking opportunities to positively impact lives through transformative design. Throughout my journey, I've eagerly shared my expertise and had the privilege of being a guardian of spaces, specializing in new construction, renovations, and the art of residential space planning and design.

My ethos revolves around collaboration, as I am devoted to making my clients' visions a reality. In my leisure time, you can find me cherishing moments with my dear family, tending to my beloved plants, and playing host in my home just outside of Dallas, Texas.

Without a doubt, I'm eager to explore how I can help you transform your house into a true haven.

Transforming your home into your HAVEN

I want to give a shout out to this fantastic lady who is fabulous beyond words!! We had been struggling with many ideas about how to reform our space with little execution. We found Kim and she was truly god sent! Our projects included a major kitchen update with changing the counter top’s and back splash, adding more light to the area with updating the paint on the cabinetry and hardware. Kim put together a very detailed, well thought out plan and stayed in budget. She supervised and coordinated between the best of a project team any one could ask for. I have heard night mare’s about house renovations, but I have to admit with all honesty, mines felt like a breeze, because of KIM!
Kim works with passion and she labors with true love for your job like its her own. She is gifted with conceptualization , design and has impeccable taste and she is such a delight of a person !!

Kim was absolutely delightful to work with! She is kind and really works hard to design/decorate a home that reflects her client. This was my first time using a designer and she was incredibly patient and flexible as I worked through the process! Would 100% use her again!!!

I hired Haven Design Haus to help me redecorate my living room and am elated with the results! Kim was amazing to work with. She took the time to understand my style, interests, and what I was hoping to achieve with my new decor. She creatively repurposed some of my existing pieces, helped me decide when to save money and when to splurge, and expertly offered suggestions and options. On the rare occasion I wasn’t super excited by something she suggested, she quickly offered alternatives. She was never offended and I always felt that she wanted me to be happy with the final outcome. My new living room doesn’t just look amazing, it FEELS amazing, which was one of Kim’s goals. I thought I just wanted to redecorate but she invited me to make my home my haven and I am forever grateful for her help with my living room transformation.

We had a wonderful experience working with Kim updating our first floor - from a distinctly 90’s aesthetic to a timeless feel that fits our style and our actual lives. She was able to provide us guidance and options that worked well for us, resulting in spaces that we’re proud to share and equally happy to just relax in. Kim helped keep us sane while we sorted through replacing a contractor and made sure to keep an eye on the project during all phases.
— J. Tobias
Absolutely loved our experience working with Haven Design Haus! We found Kim when we were moving to Ann Arbor from Chicago and becoming first-time house-owners. Kim truly made our house our home - she did everything from project managing our design and renovations while we were still in Chicago, to giving us expert advice on paint colors (for every room in the whole house!), to helping me design and purchase a master bedroom that’s become my own personal sanctuary. She covered every little detail - from ongoing lists of “to do’s” for our contractors, to helping us source new, updated light fixtures, to taking me to stores to buy the little decor details that make a house feel lived-in. She was a life saver and we have already signed on with her for future updates to our house!
— S. Dolan
We highly recommend Kim Channey, the owner of Haven Design Haus, for your home design needs. We moved into a new home last year and didn’t know where to begin. We met with Kim who completed a very thorough assessment of our needs and style preferences. She then helped us create a beautiful home that guests have described as classy, unique, comfortable and looking “like a magazine.” She is absolutely a delight to work with and has elegant taste. We have appreciated her ability to combine high quality design with practicality and affordability.
— L. O'Donnell
I love working with Kim. She helped me pick out some new furniture and lighting that would coordinate and update my existing space. I am not great with being able to envision what would look right together. I am absolutely in love with the things we picked and the finished product is exactly what I had in mind. I will for sure be going back to Kim in the future. She’s responsive and will listen to what you need/want. Also, if you have trouble knowing what it is you want, she will help you figure it out. If the project is small or large, she can help. Also, in addition to being a talented designer, she is a wonderful human. She’s the whole package.
