At KGA, Interior Design must be 3 things: personalized, highly qualitative, and as inexpensive as possible. If this sounds like your kind of project, then take a look at our Services. You can also find out more information in our KGA Design Brochure. We are honoured and grateful to have been featured in the Houston Chronicle ahead of the incoming Houston Fall Design Week.
In a city of big personalities, Amen is among the most fascinating. He launched his career with clients with big budgets, but he never lost touch with more humble homes in need of a creative eye. The journey of KGA involves the turns of many pages, but it involves the lucky and honorable features on some rather prestigious pages too.
We've put together a collection of the biggest press appearances of KGA. Discover our work in an organized manner! We've put together an image index that allows you to explore our work by specific keywords, rooms, and even by color! Empty spaces become creative spaces.

As a dedicated designer and artist, I have found a wellspring of inspiration in my experiences and interactions over the years. I began as a visionary. Using my color and compositional skills to accommodate and infiltrate clients' spaces, I have drawn art from the routines of Interior Design, which eventually led me to start creating my own pieces to give even more life to my visions.
If you are still unsure whether you want to hire KGA or any interior designer, this is the option for you. Together, we look at your living space and observe things that we can improve and remodel. When you've made up your mind about your project, never hurry to buy new furniture! The first step in every home is to maximize the value of what is already there.
Discover our most recent and recognized interior design projects - from functionally redesigned family homes to newly empty nests with added flair and personality. If you are interested in hiring Kelly to bring your favorite space to life, send us a message with a brief description of your project, your current contact information, and the best times to reach you.
Designed with love, welded and cast with the utmost precision and mounted to perfection, our metal pieces are the perfect attention-grabbers for any room. Using the latest technology in terms of manufacture, our products have minimized weight and can be transported easily, while simultaneously maximizing durability.
Sturdy, natural, relaxing - these are just a few of the characteristics of wood. Part of every home since the beginning of time, wood is not only a very functional material to work with, but also looks amazing. Wooden pieces are essential in a well visually balanced home, and KGA Originals has just the pieces for you!

Kelly made my new apartment ZING with his inspired placement of my “same old” furnishings and art. Seeing it through his eyes, in his hands it is fresh, inviting and beautiful. Plus he is super careful to observe all pandemic protective measures. Great job!

Kelly has lead our home evolutions through two major phases of our lives – first when our children were young teens and now as empty nesters/grandparent hopefuls. His vision, creativity and passion, incredibly stellar and phenomenal, are beyond compare. Kelly’s capacity to really know us as people and a family, how we live, what we care about, what and whom we love — blend that into his vision and creativity — and translate it into our home and lives —THAT is extraordinary!
Kelly is not a “one style fits all” designer. He gets to know his clients and what’s right for each person

I have been working with Kelly for over 20 years. I love working with him. His ideas are unique and interesting. He is always, always on time and his contractors are always on time as he only contracts with dependable people who always show up on time. The quality of his work and his contractors is superb! Kelly listens to what you want and gives you what you want. I love that he doesn't give you so many options at once that you just can't decide. If you don't like the options he brings, he continues to bring options. I would HIGHLY recommend Kelly for all your needs.

Kelly and I have known each other for 45+ years. So far he has done two apartments and two houses for and with me – everything from a small one-bedroom apartment during my single days in NYC to our current house where my husband and I raised our family. Kelly is amazing. His enthusiasm, energy, curiosity and imagination are contagious. His creativity and eye, staggering. He can accomplish more in an hour than many of us can do in a day or week, yet his underlying calm somehow makes his clients feel comfortable and at home. You can almost watch Kelly’s mind at work -- scanning the room, looking

Kelly Gale Amen is a true artist in every sense of the word! He has worked with us for many years to create the perfect living space – from our early days with young children, to the teen and college years, to our empty nest. Whether your home is 10,000 sq. ft. or 800 sq. ft., it can be difficult to navigate the many possibilities of design and create a cohesive look that reflects your style. Kelly has the ability to listen to your needs and develop a plan to create a space that reflects your style by focusing on functionality, working with your pieces (furniture, art, collections, etc.), your

Kelly can transform a place using everything you already have, as well as suggesting changes like a different paint color -- do it yourself for minimal expense or hire the best crew in town. If you want to take it farther, Kelly can shop for you anyplace from resale stores to international custom fabricators. He is fast, practical and thorough. It is all about you and how you really live in your space. With Kelly, always be yourself because he is a real "people person" and delights in tailoring your space to suit you and your friends, family, and pets. My dog loves his KGA ottoman!

After being evacuated from our home during Hurricane Harvey, my husband and I felt such anxiety and sadness with the loss of so much. We called upon Kelly Gale Amen to help, who we first met twenty-two years ago when we bought our home. Kelly has a magical design mind and took the stress out of making replacement decisions. He is very witty and fun to work with. Kelly called at least once a week to check on our progress with our contractor and to see how we were holding up. He worked very hard to make it fun for us to rebuild and replace. Kelly's kind heart and reassuring spirit made our construction
