MEET THE DESIGNER
Morgan’s love of interiors began long before she ever imagined it would become her career. From rearranging her bedroom furniture as a child to thoughtfully styling her space for each season, she developed an instinctive eye for proportion, composition, and the details that make a room feel truly considered.
That instinct evolved into a deeper passion when Morgan purchased her first home and embarked on a complete renovation. Immersed in every aspect of the process—from selecting finishes and fixtures to refining layouts and creating a cohesive design vision—she discovered just how much she loved transforming a space from the ground up.
What began as a personal renovation soon became the foundation for something much greater. As family and friends began seeking Morgan’s eye for their own homes, it became clear that her talent for creating beautiful, functional spaces was something meant to be shared.
Morgan holds a Bachelor of Science from East Carolina University and an MBA with a concentration in Marketing from North Carolina State University. Her background brings together two complementary strengths: a natural appreciation for design and a strategic understanding of business, branding, and the client experience.
Today, Morgan brings that perspective to every project through a thoughtful, highly personalized approach to interior design. Her work is rooted in the belief that the most beautiful homes are not simply styled—they are carefully considered, deeply personal, and designed to support the way you want to live.
Through Morgan Kay Interiors, she creates elevated, inviting spaces with an emphasis on timeless design, intentional details, and effortless sophistication.

MY PROCESS

My design process begins with an in-depth design consultation. I will work closely with you to understand your preferences, lifestyle, and functional requirements. I will discuss layout options, material choices, color palettes, and overall design aesthetics to create a tailored plan that meets your unique needs. In home consultations are $275 and do not include design plans or visuals.

The next step in my process after getting to know your style and preferences and after the in home consultation is complete would be to design a moodboard for each of the rooms selected showing the visiual overview of the plan and how the decor and furniture pieces flow together. Once approved, we will move onto the next phase of the project.

Note: Home Packages for Room Designs do not include a 3D Rendering of your room and layout. An additional fee is charged if 3D renderings are needed. Room Packages only include a moodboard and selection list included in the fee.
