Hello, I'm Kalissa but Most People Call Me K

Hi there! I’m K—short for Kalissa—and I’m thrilled you’ve found your way here to the very first blog post for Kalissa Wilson Interiors. Before we dive into the beautiful world of interior design, let me share a bit about myself and what makes my journey—and my approach to design—so unique.


I’ve been married to my incredible husband, Aaron, for 21 years, and together we have three amazing kids. Brady, our oldest, is 19, a sophomore in college, and spends most of his time on the baseball field. Mia, my 17-year-old, is in her senior year of high school and already counting down the days until she heads to the University of Missouri next fall. Then there’s Jax, our youngest at 11, who finally gets our undivided attention—and trust me, he loves it!

When I’m not working on design projects, you’ll usually find me reading a good book, digging into the dirt in my landscaping, exploring new restaurants, or enjoying our next family adventure my husband planned. But no matter where I am or what I’m doing, my heart is always in design.



A Little About My Journey

Interior design isn’t just my profession—it’s in my blood. As a third-generation construction and design professional, I’ve been surrounded by the industry for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I didn’t just watch projects come to life; I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. I’ve hung drywall, run electrical wiring, and even sanded and stained carpentry pieces. Those early hands-on experiences gave me a deep appreciation for every step of the process and a unique edge in my field.


I bring this expertise to every project I take on. When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a designer with a keen eye for style—you’re getting a partner who understands the nitty-gritty details of construction. That knowledge ensures every decision we make is not only beautiful but also practical and functional.

My Philosophy

At Kalissa Wilson Interiors, we specialize in new construction, renovations, and full-service furnishings, and we’re known for creating spaces that are timeless with a touch of the unexpected. Whether it’s a pop of bold color, a piece of custom upholstery, or a unique finish, I love adding those unexpected elements that make a space truly special.


One of my favorite parts of the process is working with custom furnishings, especially upholstery. There’s something magical about designing a one-of-a-kind piece that perfectly fits a client’s vision and lifestyle. It’s those personal touches that transform a house into a home.


I also believe in doing things the right way. My dad instilled in me what we call a “freight train work ethic.” It’s about working diligently, staying focused, and always moving forward. That approach, combined with my background in BioMed, means I approach every project with a research-driven mindset and meticulous attention to detail.


Designing with Empathy

Having gone through my own full-home renovation, I know firsthand the challenges and emotions that come with such a big project. It’s a rollercoaster of excitement, stress, and decision fatigue. That experience gave me a deeper understanding of what my clients go through, and it’s made me even more passionate about guiding them through the process. My goal is to make it as smooth and enjoyable as possible, so you can focus on the fun parts while I handle the complexities.
