KHI Design Group

KHI Design Group provides sophisticated interior design solutions while working closely with clients to create unique, personal spaces that are comfortable, beautiful and sensitive to their lives and personalities. The team is helmed by designer Leila Kharem, who inherited Karen Houghton Interiors, upon the namesakes' retirement in 2016, after over 15 years designing for the firm.
KHI's design studio is located in Nyack, NY where Leila and her team work on projects ranging in scope, from entire homes where they collaborate with architects and builders to facilitate the construction process, or smaller assignments such as updating a single room, or creating an exceptional window treatment.

KHI's design work has been published in several local publications including "NY Spaces", "201 Magazine" and "Fairfield Look". They were the 2013 “Westchester Home Magazine” winner in the Best Dining Room category. KHI was recently interviewed and provided design advice for a feature in the "Journal News" newspaper. Television credits include an episode of HGTV's Property Brothers, as the design leads for a home renovation. KHI have also been participants in the Annual Red Cross Ball, as well as numerous NY & NJ Designer Showhouses.

KHI works extensively throughout the Tri-State area including NYC, Westchester & Rockland County NY, Fairfield County CT and Bergen County NJ.
