History

Spice Hill Interiors was formed in 1999 by Karen Kline to bridge the gap between retail store designers (limited resources) and luxury designers (hefty fees).

Educated in Psychology, Law and Interior Design, Karen remains driven to create personalized residences that serve, inspire and endure… logically and responsibly.

Prior work experience as a furniture showroom manager, owner of an award-winning custom decor & window treatment shop, and various roles at The Shade Store provides invaluable insight into the home furnishings industry, and into life at home.

By consistently attending trade shows and events, visiting exclusive showrooms, and seeking design inspiration everywhere, Karen stays ahead trends and is able to innovate unique interior solutions reflective of architecture and client preferences.

Spice Hill Interiors has staged houses for sale, collaborated with architects and builders, and managed many large and small scale interior design, home decor and organization projects throughout Purchase, Armonk, Scarsdale, Chappaqua, Lewisboro, Ossining, Croton-on-Hudson, Yorktown, Briarcliff Manor, Mamaroneck, Larchmont, New Rochelle, Bronxville, Ardsley, Irvington, Hamptons, Manhattan, Queens, Greenwich, Westport, Boca Raton, San Miguel de Allende, & beyond.

  • I've been working with Karen at Spice Hill for many years on all of my homes and apartments. Her ability to understand my tastes and how I like to live in each place makes each project work perfectly. She has done projects for me in my Catskills home, my Northeastern Pennsylvania home, my Mexico home as well as in my lofts and apartments in New York City. I have recommended Spice Hill Interiors to many friends and family over the years, who've used them who are equally satisfied with the results, as well as the process. The process of the project when it involves Karen is as exciting and fulfilling as the results. Karen is gifted and also a joy!!!

  • Karen Kline of Spice Hill Interiors not only has a wonderful eye for interior decorating and spatial design, but also a wonderful personality. A gifted designer who really listens to her client in order to achieve beautiful interiors. I've wasted some time and money over the years listening to what professionals thought I should choose; as soon as I began working with Karen (a few decades ago), I finally found a decorator who listens and cares. Cannot recommend enough - simply the best.
