Kevin Corn Design
Specializing in American Country, Kevin Corn first got his start in design working for Ralph Lauren in his twenties. Captivated by the idea of lifestyle and storytelling living, the Northern California native found his passion in finding pieces that help tell stories through fashion and home furnishings. He decided to start his own firm with the idea of expanding upon these goals. After establishing Kevin Corn Design, he began furthering his presence and work in Aspen in addition to Southern California before moving to Nashville in 2019—where he has since expanded his clientele and further familiarized himself with southern design. In October of 2023, he opened an antique and vintage shop in a restored Victorian house in East Nashville that aims to provide clients, and the design trade, interesting one-of-a-kind pieces. These pieces act as both the ‘finishing touch’ to a client’s vision or inspire a whole new design project.
“[I like to describe my style] as curated comfort… whatever look the client is seeking, I want to make sure that the rooms are practical and comfortable,” Kevin explains. “I often like to provide options of furniture, colors, and fabrics so that the client has options and is invested in the selection of their home.”
While fond of the entire design process, Kevin particularly loves the installation part of a project. In this stage, both he and the client get to see the ideas and plans that they had been working on finally become reality. He also enjoys installing the art, as this is when the project truly becomes a home and begins to reflect the client’s personality. Forming a community in Nashville has shaped Kevin’s approach in meaningful ways, opening doors to new learning opportunities and sourcing connections. As the city continues to grow into a major design market, he’s excited to see an expanded selection of antiques, fabrics, and furniture emerge. Collaborating with local contractors and builders has also been an invaluable learning experience for him.
design by Christina Perry
Co-founded by Lake and Christina Perry, design by Christina Perry is a residential interior design studio based here in Nashville. The husband-and-wife duo share a common goal of building genuine relationships through quality design and ethical service. Design was always in the cards for Christina—growing up, she would rearrange her bedroom furniture and decor every few months as a hobby. As an adult, she reflected on her life-love for design and decided to pursue it as a career. Having played baseball most of his life, Lake developed strong leadership skills that naturally carried into building design by Christina Perry. Becoming a business owner had long been his goal, and paired with Christina’s design talent and his management expertise, the two brought that vision to life.
“We are best friends, so working together is an extension of our personal relationship. I love that we can use each other's strengths to build ideas and procedures that benefit us and our clients,” Christina shares. “I love working with my wife and helping make her dreams come true,” Lake adds. “We love that Nashville has many different areas with a variety of styles... this allows us to put our touch on each project.”
With a timeless-meets-modern style, the pair typically work on projects including residential remodels, styling, and new construction as well as full-service project management, concept-only, or e-design. They also value prioritizing building genuine connections with their clients so each space feels both personal and thoughtfully improved. For them, nothing compares to revealing the finished design and witnessing the client’s reaction. The design process begins with an initial inquiry and consultation to understand the client’s vision, followed by a tailored proposal outlining the scope of work. From there, design by Christina Perry develops a cohesive concept and presents thoughtful design plans that bring the space to life. Once selections are finalized, the project moves into installation, where they oversee coordination and execution to ensure a seamless result.
Emily Roose Interiors
Emily Roose is the Founder and Principal Designer of Emily Roose Interiors, an award-winning interior and product design studio based in Franklin/Nashville and serving Middle Tennessee, Georgia, Lake Tahoe, California, Nevada, and clients nationwide. Upon building a career in marketing and digital content in the music industry, Emily made a major pivot and went back to school for interior design. Drawn to the intersection of creativity and problem-solving, she was intrigued by the deeper impact design can have on daily life. Specializing in elevated, highly-personal interiors that are never cookie-cutter, Emily is known for her grounded, curated spaces that are a true reflection of her clients. Often brought in for luxury residential design, new construction, full-scale renovations, multi-family developments, and select commercial and hospitality projects, Emily does it all. Not to mention, she also designs custom furniture and custom light fixtures.
“I love translating who my clients are into something tangible… the layout that finally works, the materials that feel right, the lighting that changes the mood, and the details that make it personal,” Emily explains. “The most rewarding part is seeing how it impacts their day-to-day—when they tell me they feel calmer, more inspired, more grounded, or like they can finally breathe in their own space. That’s the moment I know I did my job right—and that I followed my heart down the right career path.”
With work that can lean modern, organic, transitional, traditional, or somewhere in between, Emily stays consistent in her approach: thoughtful proportions, layered textures, strong material selection, beautiful lighting, and a sense of warmth and livability—so the finished space feels timeless, personal, and genuinely good to be in.

“I’ve been especially inspired by the rich history of the region and the way Nashville is layered with so many eras of architecture and design. Being immersed in that mix—historic homes, new builds, and everything in between—pushes my eye and keeps my work evolving.”
