Kara Templeton is a Washington, D.C.–born, Austin, Texas–based interior designer and decorative artist with over a decade of experience in residential renovations across the country. After years working in both the design and construction industries, Kara recognized a gap in the market for skilled designers who combine a strong understanding of aesthetics, construction principles, and project budgeting. To meet this need, she founded her own studio in 2024.

Kara Templeton Design (KTD) is an exclusive, full-service interior design firm specializing in single room refreshes, interior styling, and custom murals. Blending classic style with modern sensibility, the studio draws on nature to create refined, comfortable spaces.

With an unwavering commitment to practical design planning and meticulous attention to detail, KTD offers a comprehensive suite of services, guiding each project from its initial vision to impeccable execution. Kara is dedicated to integrating clients’ own materials and vintage furniture whenever possible to create spaces that are as livable as they are layered.
