Meg was wonderful to work with on our modern, entertainment-focused basement. She is professional, organized, and brings such positive energy to the process. She’s a great listener and really took the time to understand how we wanted the space to look and function.
She worked smoothly with our contractor and communicated clearly throughout, which made everything easier. She’s empathetic, creative, and just very cool to collaborate with. We’re thrilled with the result and would absolutely recommend her.

Working alongside Meg is an absolute pleasure. From a contractor’s perspective, she is organized, collaborative, and incredibly easy to work with, making every project run smoothly. Our clients consistently praise her warmth, care, and respect for their vision and budget, while also appreciating her thoughtful attention to detail.
Her beautiful renderings help clients truly visualize their spaces, and her deep knowledge of innovative materials and products brings both style and functionality—especially in kitchens and baths. Meg consistently goes the extra mile, elevating every project and
helping our entire team shine.

Working with Meg on our speakeasy and game room was a delight. From the planning to the execution, Meg was professional, transparent, creative, easy to work with, and most of all fun.
Her network of other great people is an asset, and she has a knack for
keeping even the most stressful of projects on track and enjoyable. We can’t say enough in highly recommending her and those she works with. You will not be disappointed in the final product.

Our partnership with Meg began when we sought guidance on refreshing our home with new paint colors and a gallery wall. She listened to our hopes and preferences, and then created a vision which enabled us to reimagine our living space.
New colors, fabrics, and lighting now infuse our home and work seamlessly alongside treasured family pieces. We discovered our own style along the way. Meg elevated our goal to refresh our decor in ways we never imagined or could have done on our own. Plus, it is a joy to work with Meg!

Meg Hilburn of Circa Interior Design relishes a challenge, and this fun townhome project fit the bill on many levels. This was a full remodel of an original 1988 unit in Mission Pines.
The goals were two-fold. First, to update the entire space and welcome it to 2024. Second, to reconfigure areas to improve flow, increase livability, and accommodate two new dwellers: The clients’ sister from California on the main level, and their adult son on the lower.

To love and honor. That is how Chris and Stacy approached the idea of remodeling the kitchen of their historic 1956 Eichler home. Amazing, colorful tiles on the wall are a spectacular main focal point, and pay homage to mid-century modern real estate developer, Joseph Eichler. They are “Eichler Blend,” from Mercury Mosaics where Eichler built many mid-century modern homes. As part of a TV program in the 50’s, Donald Drummond built several Eichler-architected homes here in Kansas City, this being one of them. The namesake tiles are hand-glazed in vibrant aqua, yellow, gray, and white.

With each step down the staircase of the 2025 Symphony Designers’ Showhouse, the present fades. The lights grow dimmer, the colors richer, and the air takes on a secretive hush. Designer Meg Hilburn of Circa Interior Design envisioned the remodel of this lower level as a journey into Kansas City’s Prohibition past. “Kansas City has such a rich history,” she says. “Making the speakeasy feel true to that era was our way of honoring it.”
