About Me
Meet Katie Grove, Owner
From the moment I rearranged my childhood best friend’s bedroom one hot summer afternoon, I knew I had to be an Interior Designer. Creating beautiful spaces came naturally to me, and after completing my Interior Design degree at Iowa State University in 2011, I started my career at Homemakers Furniture in Urbandale, Iowa.
But I began to notice one constant among all my clients: fear.
That’s right—instead of being excited about a brand-new space, people were terrified of making the wrong decisions and committing to furniture, accents, and decor they’d end up hating.
I knew I had the experience and know-how to help guide people toward design decisions they’d love. So in 2016, I took the leap and started Rinseaux Interiors. Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of people create spaces that function beautifully for their lifestyles—and I can help you, too!
What sets Rinseaux Interiors apart?
Free initial consultations. My passion is getting to know the people I am helping, so I can design spaces that fit their personalities. Before we do anything else, I will come to you and view the space you want to improve, while really getting to know you!
I get it. As a parent, I understand that you don’t have hours to run around finding the best prices on pieces that may not wind up functioning in your space. Let me use my years of experience to save you time and money, so you can get back to what matters.
You can do as much or as little as you’d like. Whether you need help picking a few transformational touches for a small room or you would like an entire home redesign, I am your person! We will create a budget plan that works for you.
“Our 20+ year home needed an interior facelift and a friend referred me to Katie. She came to our home and chatted with me for a couple of hours, taking pictures of our entire main level and writing copious notes of what I thought I wanted in my ‘new’ home. She helped me pick out paint colors, furnishings, décor, countertops, backsplash, fixtures, stone, etc. We were on a budget and she was cognizant of that. I truly loved all of her ideas, but I love to shop too! I bought various things (furnishings, décor, etc.) that I liked and she graciously worked with my selections, making them flow with the rest of her design. I was even able to send her pictures of items from various stores to get her on-the-spot opinion. She was never put off or offended by my suggestions/purchases, instead incorporating them effortlessly into the whole scheme of the main level. I look forward to working with Katie again as we update the other two levels in our home.”

“Katie is very thoughtful in her color selection. And her relationship with furniture and interior product providers in the greater Des Moines area is integral to her being able to focus her selections on those that will best benefit her customers. I really felt that her costs were very reasonable and it allowed me to not take my own personal time to make the wrong decisions. She also has great ideas on color and fabric that you may not think of yourself due to her education and training. I would highly recommend Katie for all of your interior needs.”
