About Kate Joy

As a licensed interior designer with over 10 years of experience in the home furnishings industry, Kate Joy doubles as both a design professional and furniture guru. Her passion is creating livable interiors that both inspire and bring comfort. After graduating from Illinois State University she worked for a residential design firm based in Chicago where she specialized in kitchen and bath design. Her love for historic architecture brought her to North Carolina to pursue her graduate degree, and she has since fallen in love with the climate and southern hospitality. When she is not creating beautiful interior (and exterior) environments with her clients, Kate spends time outdoors with her husband, two young daughters, and their Sheltie.

My wife & I are first-time FLS customers, and we wanted to express our appreciation for Kate Joy's excellent service, diligence, advice, patience & attention to detail, which epitomizes excellent customer service.

With the expert assistance of Kate, we were able to purchase a house-full of beautiful furniture! Kate demonstrated great command of the products offered at FLS, multiple manufacturers & product quality. She provided us with great insights under extremely challenging circumstances; our house floor plans & dimensions were approximate at best, and over two days in which my wife was ill, whereby Kate therefore could only communicate with my wife by phone.

My wife & I are very selective & particular with our furniture needs & quite proud of the homes we’ve furnished in the past. With Kate Joy’s incredible knowledge, patience & guidance, we very much look forward to the day we receive our furniture & each day thereafter.
