For the past 12 years, Kristi’s been working with amazing clients who have great style themselves and want a beautiful, inviting home that is ready on a moment’s notice to host a “girls’ night in”, a Sunday brunch with family or the team soccer party. That’s what she’s passionate about – creating homes where you can build memories for you and your family. read more

Her design style is classic and fresh, with a casualness that feels welcoming, because a home should be both beautiful and ready for all things “family”. She loves color, prints and unexpected details. She designs for people who want the look of a Pinterest-ready home, but want to live in it with their kids, their dogs and their friends.

Kristi’s previous 15 years of experience in advertising agencies on the Account and Strategic Planning side provided her with a background in client management, marketing, budget management, project timelines and the management of large creative teams. This background brought extensive management and process expertise when starting Grace Hill Design.

Today, she and her team bring this strategic, creative process to each project with an attention to detail that creates happy spaces for their clients that are functional yet inspired – a home that will make you smile while working, entertaining or simply enjoying your morning cup of coffee.

Grace Hill Design believes it’s important to “Come home to happy”– a feeling their downtown Wayzata interior design studio and store embodies.

Their clients have nothing but glowing recommendations: “Amazing every time that I stop in! Whether buying a little treasure or something substantial; they’re always ready to suggest, help and support me in finding the perfect ‘something’.”

The Grace Hill Design creative team fills the store with their favorite pieces and loves to match clients with that perfect item, whether that be holiday decor, unique gifts, or something to tie a room together.

Their focus on excellent customer service is no surprise for a business dedicated to developing “comfortable luxury”. They believe in friendliness, approachability, quality, and of course, happiness– evident both in their designs and in the way they interact with customers.

Celebrating Grace Hill’s 10th Anniversary in 2021 is especially exciting for Kristi Patterson, the owner and creative director. She and her team are passionate about creating home designs that build memories. It’s not just about appealing design, it’s about designing a space that is right for the people living there.

Getting to know customers and understanding what makes them happy is the design team’s favorite part. “We are extremely honored,” says Kristi. “Customer service is a top priority for us so we truly value this award.”

The greater Wayzata Area Chamber of Commerce and Business & Estate Advisors are thrilled to honor this local business for their commitment to service with the "Exceptional Service Award of Excellence for Service and Support". Since 2003, Business & Estate Advisers, Inc. has partnered with the Greater Wayzata Area Chamber of Commerce to recognize businesses with outstanding customer service.
