Yet always, it is Ms. Krümm’s unforgettable interior designs that form the foundation of her business, revealing her artistic background and international influences by beautifully balancing the elegant, ethereal and urban.

Ms. Krümm initially established her reputation for excellence in the early 1990s.  As the owner of a prosperous interior design company in Virginia Beach, VA, Ms. Krümm primarily designed upscale residential and commercial projects, including several of the area’s most fashionable and successful restaurants, and earning an array of awards for her work. In 2000, she relocated to Naples, FL, and in a few years she established the highly respected firm of Kira Krümm Interior Design.
