Living rooms made for connection

Designed around daily life
Make the rooms you have feel more natural to live in.
A home can have good bones and still leave too much unresolved. The kitchen may not support the way everyone gathers, the living room may feel difficult to arrange, or a sequence of updates over the years may have left the rooms without a common thread. Those are not small concerns. They shape the way each day begins, how easily people come together, and whether home feels restorative at the end of it.
Kerry Leikus Designs helps Baltimore County homeowners turn that uncertainty into a clear, personal direction. The work starts with the people who use the home, the rituals that matter, the pieces you love, and the changes that would make everyday life easier. Layout, color, materials, furnishings, lighting, art, and the finishing layers are then considered as one connected picture.
The aim is never to impose a formula. It is to create a home with comfort, character, and enough practical intelligence to support the life already happening there. The result should feel settled and specific, not simply finished.
A clear way through the decisions
Bring the larger vision and the working details together early.
Whether you are settling into a new-to-you home, renovating a familiar one, or finally addressing rooms that have never quite worked, the choices can multiply quickly. Kerry gives those choices an order, so important decisions are made with the whole home in mind rather than one room at a time.
The process is personal, collaborative, and grounded in the reality of the project. You do not need every answer on day one. You need a thoughtful partner who can listen well, establish a direction, and help each next decision belong to it.
- 01
Begin with the way your home needs to work.
We talk about your routines, the people who use each space, the pieces that matter, and what feels difficult today. That gives the design a practical purpose before a single finish or furnishing is selected.
- 02
Create a direction that is personal and useful.
Space planning, visual references, and a clear material and furnishing point of view turn a collection of ideas into a plan. The consequential choices are addressed while there is still room to think, compare, and make confident decisions.
- 03
Carry that direction through every layer.
Furniture, textiles, lighting, art, color, and renovation finishes are considered in conversation with one another. A room can have its own personality while still feeling like part of the same home.
- 04
Settle the finished home into real life.
Installation, styling, and placement bring the plan into focus. The last details matter because they are what make a room feel ready to use, welcome, and return to every day.
What a complete perspective can change
Let every choice support the life you want to have at home.
Good design is not only about a beautiful image. It is about how a room holds a busy morning, where people gather without being told, whether a favorite chair still has a place, and how much easier it feels to make the next decision when the larger picture is clear.
Kerry brings that perspective to the projects that shape a Baltimore County home most deeply. The approach balances warmth and functionality, with enough attention to the details that make a room memorable and enough practicality that it remains easy to live with.
Kitchens and baths with a longer view
For renovation decisions, layout, storage, finishes, lighting, and the feeling of the room need to work as one plan. That helps the completed space feel useful from the first day and lasting over time.
New layers alongside what you already love
Artwork, inherited pieces, collected objects, and familiar furniture can give an interior its point of view. A thoughtful design makes room for those stories rather than replacing them with a look from somewhere else.
A calmer project experience
When the direction is clear, selections can be evaluated against it instead of in isolation. That creates more confidence for homeowners and a more coherent conversation with contractors and vendors.
A home with a point of view
Let comfort and character have equal weight.
The best interiors make space for more than one kind of need. There is room for the practical details that make life run smoothly, and for the unexpected color, the artwork, the texture, or the table that makes the room feel like no one else’s.
That balance matters in homes with history as much as in homes beginning a new chapter. Kerry’s work is quietly tailored, warm, and attentive to the way the rooms relate to one another. The goal is not for every space to match. It is for the home to feel connected while each room earns its own place in the story.

Is this the right support?
For homeowners ready to make the next decisions feel clearer.
This work is a strong fit for homeowners planning a renovation, moving into a home with possibilities they want to unlock, refining rooms that have stopped serving them, or bringing a longer-held vision into focus. It is especially valuable when the project has many connected decisions and you want someone to hold the whole picture while the details come together.
Kerry works throughout Baltimore County, including Lutherville, Towson, Hunt Valley, Timonium, Cockeysville, Owings Mills, Parkton, and nearby communities. The work can begin with one room, a kitchen or bath renovation, or a broader desire for the home to feel more cohesive.

Common questions
Begin with a conversation about your home.
What kinds of Baltimore County homes do you work with?
Kerry Leikus Designs works with homeowners across Baltimore County, from established homes in Lutherville, Towson, Hunt Valley, and Timonium to more rural properties and newer homes nearby. The work begins with the rooms, routines, and character that make your home distinct.
Can you help if we are renovating only part of the house?
Yes. A kitchen, bath, family room, or primary suite can be approached as its own project while still considering the rooms around it. Kerry helps the new work feel connected to the home rather than separate from it.
Do we need to have selected a contractor first?
No. An early conversation can help clarify what the project needs to accomplish before the work becomes urgent. If you already have a contractor, Kerry can bring a clear design direction to the decisions you will make together.
Can you work with furniture, artwork, or collections we already own?
Absolutely. Pieces with history often give a home its most personal layer. Kerry looks at what matters to you first, then creates a thoughtful plan for bringing those pieces forward alongside the new selections.
