This is Danyale Keim Design.

Where breaking the rules and building dream homes isn’t just what we do; it’s who we are.

Danyale Keim Design brings fearlessness and practicality to luxury home interior design, blending architectural design expertise and build-phase guidance to create truly transformative spaces.

We don’t just support design for your home—we solve problems, simplify decisions, and create spaces that are completely yours. From ground-up builds to custom furnishings, our full-service design approach provides the expertise and confidence you need to build your custom home.

When you work with DK, you get more than luxury interior design—you get a team that makes the process feel fun, fearless, and enjoyable.

Meet danyale keim

I grew up on West Texas job sites, where I learned from the best—my grandfather, dad, and mom. My mom taught me the finesse of design, while my dad and granddad taught me things like why we use different size studs, why MEP plans and locations are imperative and why the “bones” of a house set the foundation for everything else. 

Now, after 16 years of DK, I can see a finished home before the foundation is poured, envisioning every detail like the recessed baseboards or the pitch of the roof. I combine no-nonsense architectural expertise with designs that actually work for the people living in them—to create spaces you want to live in, not just look at.

I lead a team of designers out of Dripping Springs, Texas who get the job done and then some. Between school drop-offs and volleyball games, I’m on-site with builders making sure every vision is executed perfectly. I love what I do, and nothing beats the moment when a client walks into their new home and says,
“This is so me.”

“While some designers impose their vision, Danyale takes the time to understand each client’s unique desires, infusing her creative touch to elevate the project. She brings invaluable insights and recommendations, balancing both style and budget to create stunning results.”

The DK Difference

When you build with Danyale Keim Design, a Texas-based luxury home interior design studio, you’ll learn that we’re home design without the fluff. We bring hard work, a little grit, and a whole lot of fun to the table.

Here’s how we’re breaking the mold in home building:

Stories Make Homes, Not Houses

A house is just walls and a roof—but what is a home? It’s the place where your story lives. It’s the marks on the wall showing how much the kids grew and the worn kitchen counter from late-night talks. From using reclaimed wood from your family’s barn to a living room made for memory-making, we design homes that feel like they’ve been yours forever.

Breaking Rules with Purpose

Good design doesn’t come from following the manual. It comes from rethinking the whole darn thing. Flush drywall edges instead of crown molding? Oh yeah. Rethinking a layout to transform how your family connects? Absolutely. Bold choices don’t mean reckless—they mean smart, intentional decisions that make your home work for you.

Simplifying the Chaos

Building a home can feel like juggling way too many decisions at once—but that’s where we come in. Don’t know why the plumbing can’t be in the pantry? We do. Not sure if that light fixture will work with a 14-foot ceiling? We’ll figure it out. From coordinating with builders to making sure all of the details align, we handle the messy stuff so you can focus on loving the result.

Building Relationships That Work

Builders and contractors don’t need fluff—they need solutions. And we get it: timelines, budgets, site issues, you name it. Danyale has been walking job sites since she was a kid, so she knows how to talk the talk and fix problems before they hit the client’s radar. Builders want a team who knows their stuff and that’s us. Let’s get it done right, together.

Services & Packages

Designing a home should be personal, and no two projects are the same. Maybe you’re starting from scratch and need someone to handle every detail, or maybe you’ve got the plans but need help pulling it all together. Wherever you are in the process, we build packages to meet you there.

From full-service ground-up builds to focused design consultations, every package is as custom as the spaces we create.

Not sure which one’s right for you? Let’s break it down.

  • For clients who want it all handled, our Full Build Services is the only way to go. 

    Starting with blueprints, we dive into floor plans, exterior elevations, and all the redlines architects love. Then comes the fun stuff: picking out everything from your porch materials to the perfect cabinet finishes. Need tile diagrams or a lighting plan? Done. Overwhelmed by paint schedules? Not on our watch.

  • Already have plans drawn up or tackling a renovation? This option is tailored for smaller projects or builds already in motion.

    Led by one of our talented team leads, we’ll help with everything from choosing the perfect stone for your fireplace to locking in cabinetry finishes and helping you stay on track. You’ll receive detailed diagrams, schedules and a custom look book that takes the guesswork out of every decision.

  • For the independent type, our Design Consultation offers expert guidance without the full-service commitment. 

    Starting with a mood board, we’ll nail down exterior picks like masonry and garage doors, plus interior must-haves like flooring, tile, and appliances.

    This hourly package gives you just enough support to make decisions easy, with a detailed look book to keep it all on track.
