About
Wharton Associates is a full service interior design firm providing design solutions for residential and commercial projects throughout the Portland area and across the country for over thirty years. The designers work closely with clients from start to finish, whether it's planning and overseeing complete remodels, new construction of a home or commercial facility, selecting finishes and furnishings for a memory facility in Boise, implementing a turnkey design in Cape Cod, placing furnishing and accessories or simply selecting paint colors.
When hiring a designer you should feel you are working with someone who hears you and understands what you want, even when you don’t know that yourself. A great designer knows that when the project is finished, she is going to go, and the client is going to stay, and they should be very happy doing that!

Under Kathryn’s guidance, Wharton Associates tackles all kinds of projects from a full build or remodel to a simple rearrangement or paint selection. Kathryn believes that the purpose of her business is to build relationships that enable her to create a design plan that will best suit the needs and desires of her client. When a project is complete, it is vital to her that her clients feel they have been heard and that their goals have been met.
