About me

Hi! I’m Kathryn Lackey, Founder and Lead Designer of Heart of the Home Styling & Designs. As a corporate District Manager, I witnessed many homeowners overwhelmed by the design process and negatively impacted by trusted “all in one” establishments to complete their projects. That is why I offer my clients:

•My 20+ years of experience as interior designer and independent business owner.

•A boutique design journey tailored to their goals.

•Quick yet thoroughly turnarounds in all projects.

Why stage a home?

Simply put, Home Staging increases your home’s value while decreasing the overall listing time. Plus:

•According to the NAR 2021 profile of home staging, 82% of agents said staging makes a home easier to visualize as a future home for potential buyers

•According to the same study, 41% of buyers are more willing to view a staged home after viewing it initially online

•According to the 2021 seller’s market survey by the Real Estate Staging Association, staged homes nationwide averaged an additional $40,000 over list price

What People Are Saying…

  • Kathryn treated me professionally. My calls or texts were always promptly returned. This is the person we all hope to find when doing a remodel.

    - Steve Reynolds, Dallas TX

  • I met Kathryn at a professional association meeting and liked and respected her right away. She is a top notch professional, very knowledgeable and extremely talented. If you have a need for a stager or an exceptional kitchen & bath designer, Kathryn is who you want to call.

    Cynthi Cegielski, STAGED BY CYNTHIA

  • Always helpful and thoughtful with her designs while trying to be sure all the details are covered! She is dedicated to her craft with attention to client needs. I highly recommend working with Kathy

    -Blake Vincent, VIP SERVICES

  • Kathryn is very knowledgeable and easy to work with as well as professional and approachable. She took a lot of stress out of the construction and moving process."

    - Kathryn Hunter, Franklin TN

  • Kathryn is a professional! She gave me some great decorating ideas. The quality of the furniture I purchased through her was great. She was very good about keeping in touch concerning the timeline for delivery. She located an excellent cabinet company that designed a great custom- made cabinet for me. I would definitely recommend her.

    -Shelley Alexander, Franklin TN

  • This was a complete kitchen and master bath remodel (and a bit more.) Kathryn did a great job in changing the kitchen footprint which resulted in better workflow, more usable floor space, and much more storage. She suggested creating a wider opening between the kitchen and living area and as a result, both spaces are brighter. She also worked with me and various vendors to select products contributing a bohesive feel, all while keeping a close eye on the budget. While looking online at other houses, I can't find one of a comparable price with a kitchen that is as nice.
