Color Sizzle | Designer Kelly Porter

About Me

Welcome to Color Sizzle!  My name is Kelly Porter and I’ve been a designer for over 10 years.  Before then, I worked in public relations but left the corporate world to stay at home with my three sons.  With the help of my very supportive husband, I was able to pursue my passion and start my own design business — Porter House Designs.

Along the way, I’ve become a fearless color designer.  I love color — it’s the driving force behind all of my work, and I’m continually amazed at how it can solely transform a space.  I believe that God uses color everywhere everyday to inspire us.  I truly enjoy showing you how to select the right colors for your space!

We are based in the Washington, DC – Baltimore area, and through our eDesign service, Design Take-Out, I can create custom color palettes and design boards for clients anywhere in the world!

In 2009, my home office — a space I coined my ‘Mom Cave’ — received national recognition and became part of the Mom Cave design craze, after it was featured in The Washington Post and on Apartment Therapy.

In addition to my design business, I write the Living Style column for Sherwin-Williams’ website, STIR, I’m a contributor to Houzz.com, and I work with CertaPro Painters as a color consultant.

My design and color projects include: urban townhouses, suburban mansions, rural farm houses, a Capitol Hill condo, and restaurants. Working with color correctly takes experience and a good eye.  I’ve been blessed to have acquired both over the years.  Along with my interior and color design projects, I also style colorful parties and tablescapes.

If I can assist you with color selections and/or a design project, please contact me at info@porterhousedesigns.com!
