KAI is a nationally renowned interior design and merchandising firm focused on the best of design for our multifamily developer and single family builder clients.

Our industry-leading reputation has been built on lasting relationships with build/development leaders — some more than 45 years and still going strong. We see every project as an opportunity to enhance our relationship with our clients, our vendors, our team, and our community.

While KAI is one of the largest firms focused on the US housing build/development industry, each project continues from inception through installation with a dedicated team. There is always a team member available every step of the way.
