Before forming Davis Raines Design in 2001, Karen Davis has been an interior designer since 1992 beginning with luxury residential design projects in Los Angeles. Karen brought her residential design experience and passion for detail to hospitality design when she was inspired by Ian Schrager’s hotel projects and unique approach to design. She continued interior design for two internationally recognized hospitality design firms in Los Angeles and New York and completed projects ranging from a 55-room boutique hotel in England, 1,000-room business hotel in Orlando, and luxury apartment hotels for business travelers living abroad in the Philippines. Davis Raines Design has completed residential projects in Manhattan, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Florida and has been involved with projects in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. Based on her experience with both residential and hospitality design, Karen has developed an individual approached to design for her clients. Each project represents each different setting, clients, and personality that are taken into consideration when working on a space and she draws upon those pieces for inspiration for the project. She is involved in all phases of a project: initial budgeting, space planning, kitchen and bath design, lighting design, selection of interior finishes, custom furniture and fabric design, and art/accessories selections. Karen’s work has been published in New England Home Magazine, CT Cottages and Gardens, and Beautiful Homes. She recently collaborated with Parisian designer India Mahdavi on a Connecticut project that was published in the October 2014 issue of Architectural Digest. Another recent project includes the design of an Upper East Side doctor’s office in New York City. She has also contributed blog posts for New England Home Magazine. Karen graduated from USC and after working for several magazines, went on to work for an interior design firm while completing the Interior & Environmental Design program from UCLA. As a result, she is certified by NCIDQ, a professional design & construction accreditation. She’s a member of ASID (American Society of Interior Designers) and has served on the Board of Directors of NEWH (Network of Executive Women in Hospitality Design), as well as a member of IIDA (International Interior Design Association). She currently is on the Board of Governors for the Washington Club, a private club in Washington, CT.

Entryway goals: where glam meets everyday family life. A beautiful cabinet with decorative hardware creates a luxe focal point while clever interior shelving keeps battery chargers, cords and daily items out of sight. Warm, layered lighting makes the artwork glow and turns your arrival into a little moment of theatre every day. Durable finishes mean you get that polished look without the fuss. Which detail would you add to your entryway — bold hardware, statement art, or mood lighting?

New apartment? Make it feel like home. We layered livable luxury into every corner so this family can enjoy soft textures for comfort, a calm palette for daily ease, and thoughtful lighting that lets their art collection shine. Instead of tucking pieces away, we designed sightlines that make each artwork part of everyday life. Which piece from your collection would you showcase first?

At Davis Raines Design, we obsess over those finishing touches so your bath is both stunning and perfectly livable. Which detail would make your bathroom feel like a retreat—luxurious counters, dreamy lighting, streamlined storage, or elegant fixtures? Tell me below!

Stop scrolling—this contemporary dining room proves that warmth and modern style can be best friends. I paired a richly grained wood table with classic-modern dining chairs to balance organic texture and clean lines so every seat feels timeless and comfortable. A rug that compliments the fireplace colors ties the palette together, making the whole space feel calm, curated, and inviting. Which element would you bring into your own dining room—the table, the chairs, or the rug?

From dated to daily spa — swipe for the before & after! I anchored the room with a warm, textured floor tile that brings cozy comfort underfoot and paired it with subtle marble wall tile to lift the light and add quiet luxury. The result is a calm, timeless refuge and perfect this couple who crave a peaceful place to reset. Which detail caught your eye — the floor or the marble walls?

Earthy red that hides the TV — a little drama, a lot of calm. The screen is tucked into a rich, grounding accent wall so the room reads like art, not tech; colorful upholstery and layered textures soften the modern lines while the large windows pull the garden in, making every detail feel intentional and inviting. Would you hide your TV behind color like this?

What if your entry greeted you like a work of art?

A custom mural wallpaper turns an apartment entry or gallery wall into a personal statement—scaled to your space, palette, and lifestyle. It delivers gallery-quality impact without, and designed to become the focal piece itself.

Ready to see your space reimagined? DM me for a custom mockup and let’s make your entry unforgettable.
