About Kirby & Z

Kirby & Z is an independent, full-service interior design firm with a straightforward mission to help our clients love where they live.

Headquartered in the Houston Metro area, Kirby & Z provides residential and hospitality design services. For residential projects, we specialize in remodels, space planning, lighting and color selection, decorating and selection of décor including furniture and window treatments. Additionally, we provide hospitably services including, but not limited to, FF&E procurement and interior design.

We are a hands-on team that works with you from initial consultation to final reveal. We get to know you, your tastes and interests so we can create to-scale space plans and design selections that exceed your expectations.

While we have style preferences, we design to our client’s requests. We utilize color, texture and fabrics to create unique spaces that are comfortable for you and your family. Working within your budget, we shop for the new furniture and accessories you’re sure to love, while being careful to incorporate those already loved items into your new design.
