Life begins at home...
About Renae Keller
Renae Keller is the principle of RKID, an award-winning interior design firm in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and beyond, specializing in new construction and large remodels. Renae’s work is about awakening the senses through beautiful design and she expresses it in homes where each room combines both purpose and personality.
Seeing the potential in every home, Renae uses design to solve problems,
enhance lives, and inspire her clients through beauty. To her, great design style is like great fashion style--it’s all about grace. In Renae’s interiors, she’s always working to reveal that idea in beautifully edited homes that tell her clients’ story, the story of their life and their legacy, and she puts it all together in rooms where everything flows with ease.
Renae applies her graceful style across a variety of architectural genres. In each project, you see it in her use of classic lines with just enough detail, textural fabrics that are both luxurious and inviting, and colors-- from warm whites to watery blues, and maybe a tiny dose of citron. She is always looking for ways to incorporate a dynamic mix design features in her interiors from the luster of a stainless, to matte countertops, to glazed tile and more. All of these elements are united by Renae’s vision of an interior that will stand the test of time, and where each detail is an expression of individual beauty. Renae has been designing interiors since 1996, holding a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. She is NCIDQ Certified and has Professional Membership status in ASID. She and her team are known for thinking several steps ahead so that RKID’s clients do not have to. With over twenty years of experience, Renae moves every project forward in ways that are calm and approachable, skillful and whole-hearted.
One particular memory sparked Renae’s design path: her grandmother’s drop-front, walnut wood desk. Sitting next to a harvest gold, rotary phone, this much-loved and versatile (her grandmother kept her playing cards in it,) mid-century desk inspired Renae very early on. In it, she saw art and functionality come together in harmony, and today that idea is behind Renae’s view that furniture should be functional, while also beautiful. This memory, and many like them, prompted Renae’s motto, “Burn the candles, use the china.”
What Renae’s work comes down to is her desire to have her clients experience their home to its greatest potential. And that’s because Renae truly believes that a great home gets us back to square one where we live life at our best.
