Cloth & Kind is a nationally recognized residential and commercial interior design firm—chosen as one of 10 New Trads by Traditional Home in 2016. Principals Krista Nye Nicholas and Tami Ramsay have offices in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Athens, Georgia, and have clients nationwide. Each project mixes one-of-a-kind finds with custom textiles, curated art, and unique furnishings. Cloth & Kind’s design aesthetic is “classic and patinaed with a modern vibe and worldly influence.” Their work has appeared in many leading national shelter magazines.
“Our inherent design sensibility strives for a mix of old with new, polish with patina, and effortless layers that seem gathered over time. Our glorious recent trip to Marrakech spoke to our very core. Meandering through the walled alleys of ancient souks, we discovered the city’s essence is where the seemingly chaotic comes together with the beautifully refined. Surrounded by both stunning and crumbling architecture at every turn, we gained a deeper appreciation for the tremendous impact of tiny, artisanal details.” —Krista Nye Nicholas and Tami Ramsay
