Meet Your Designer

Kathryn M. Lackey is the Founder and inspiration behind HEART OF THE HOME STYLING & DESIGNS, a North Dallas-based boutique design firm specializing in kitchen and bath design, remodels, and lifestyle-driven interiors. With over 20 years of experience spanning design, installations, and real estate management, Kathryn brings a rare blend of creativity to each project focused on lifestyle and equitable goals.

After beginning her initial career in the corporate advertising space, life transitions pivoted Kathryn toward her true calling — helping homeowners reimagine everyday spaces to live, to sell, or to profit. Today, she partners with homeowners, realtors, and investors across North Dallas to transform primary heart of the home rooms emphasizing kitchens, family rooms, and master ensuites, into lifestyle-driven interiors that inspire the next chapter of their home’s story. With a passion for design that begins in the kitchen, Kathryn crafts a design experience that builds client confidence and ease alongside her installation team and select vendors. Together, they make visions become reality in a space proudly called HOME.

“A preface to my story: I LOVE design, and throughout my career, I’ve discovered a personal therapy as I journey each project’s creative options. My additional joys are spending time with my family and friends while also mentoring and inspiring women as an author. I believe we are each uniquely gifted, and how we write our story and share each chapter determines our legacy.”
