New York City interior designer Kelsey Matyas with dog

At Kelsey Deirdre Designs, we believe a home should feel like a true reflection of the people who live there. Rather than working within a single aesthetic, our approach blends modern and traditional elements to create spaces that feel layered, timeless, and deeply personal—designed around your lifestyle, not a formula.

We partner closely with a trusted network of builders, fabricators, and millworkers, allowing us to thoughtfully oversee each phase of the design process. From concept through execution, every detail is considered to ensure the finished space feels cohesive, intentional, and built to last.

KELSEY MATYAS, FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL INTERIOR DESIGNER

ABOUT

Kelsey’s path to interior design has always been grounded in how people truly live in their homes. After completing formal training through the New York School of Interior Design, she immersed herself in the industry, gaining hands-on experience at Kathy Kuo Home and Soeur Interiors. It was during this time that her design philosophy took shape - rooted in the belief that luxury should feel beautiful, comfortable, and lived-in.

In 2023, Kelsey founded Kelsey Deirdre Designs with a clear vision: to create homes that balance refined aesthetics with real life. Her work is guided by the principle of livable luxury - spaces that feel elevated yet effortless, thoughtfully layered yet practical, and designed to support both everyday routines and meaningful moments. Rather than following a single style, Kelsey blends modern and traditional elements to create interiors that feel timeless, personal, and deeply connected to the people who live there.

As a wife and mother, Kelsey approaches each project with an understanding that homes must evolve alongside the families within them. She designs with longevity in mind, prioritizing comfort, durability, and thoughtful details that allow spaces to grow and change over time.

Outside of her work, Kelsey finds inspiration through travel, and at home with her husband, young son, and their Bernedoodle, Maple. Experiencing the rhythms of daily life firsthand allows her to design spaces that feel as good to live in as they do to look at.
