KELLY COLONNA
PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
At an early age, Kelly always admired homes, furniture, fabrics, architecture and art. Throughout her adolescence and early adulthood, she explored a variety of art and design studies, which eventually led her down the path of obtaining her bachelors degree in interior design. Since then, she has spent over 10 years working with clients and their homes. Each new client and home is not just another project. It is a relationship and a story that she and her clients build together to create their dream space. Kelly feels that it is her responsibility to bring her knowledge and experience to each new client, to create the space that they will love, live in and cherish forever.
KAITLYN
With a background in fashion, Kaitlyn has always been a creative. She harnessed her artistic talent, and dove into the world of interiors. She comes with hands-on experience after taking on two of her own home renovations and countless hours of planning, designing and decorating spaces. With Kaitlyn’s time at Colonna + Co Interiors she has grown her designer skills and is our go-to gal for all things accessories from pillows and window treatment to bookshelf decor and furnishings; she has an eye to cultivate a beautiful room.
Growing up in Park Ridge, she has a pride for all things PR. While she is not at Colonna + Co, you can find her shopping at the Farmer’s Market, walking her dog around town, or sipping beer Uptown. She brings the laughs and light to the Colonna + Co office, making her the perfect addition (plus it helps that she is actually family!)
