I’m Kayla,
Founder & Principal Designer
of Cardinal Interiors

I’m a designer, wife, mother, and lifelong lover of tradition—but above all, I believe a home should tell the story of the people who live there. Through thoughtful, full-service design, I weave together the meaningful details of your family’s life to create timeless, layered spaces that feel beautiful, deeply personal, and unmistakably yours.
