Meet Kari Beckett.

your interior design expert.

As owner of Kari Beckett Design, she has transformed interiors for clients in Central Illinois and throughout the US with her virtual design service.

Kari’s path into interior design was driven by a natural eye for composition and a deep appreciation for how spaces actually function day to day. She is known for helping clients navigate the overwhelming number of decisions that come with building, remodeling, or refreshing a home — stepping in when they want the result to feel thoughtful and beautiful, but don’t want to manage the process themselves.

Her work is curated, layered interiors that feel intentional without feeling precious. Kari often mixes finishes, materials, and collected elements to create spaces that feel complete and lived in rather than overly styled. She has a particular strength in hard finish selections for new construction and renovations, where early design decisions have the biggest impact on how a home ultimately looks and feels.

Kari has built her business on trust, repeat clients, and strong relationships with builders, trades, and homeowners who value clear direction and a steady design hand. Her clients appreciate her ability to see the full picture, make confident decisions, and bring cohesion to projects that might otherwise feel disjointed.

At the end of the day, Kari’s goal is simple: to create homes that feel right for the people living in them — functional, beautiful, and thoughtfully pulled together.
