Accreditations/Experience: Senior Smithe Designer, Certified Sleep Expert.  Over 7 years of experience in all aspects of Residential, Commercial Interior Design Projects including new construction and rehab projects.

Inspiration to Pursue a Design Career: I wanted to be more creative and able to collaborate with other top award-winning interior designers. I love the creative atmosphere here and it has inspired me to be one of the best. I’ve always loved the ability to connect with people from all walks of life, personalize their spaces and create a beautiful home.

Favorite Design Tip: Rooms should be functional as well as visually appealing, keep it clean and organized…don’t forget to include items that you love, reflect your personal style, or perhaps items you have acquired from your travels.  Interior Design isn’t always about doing everything new, re-use and complement.

About Me and My Design Services: My number one priority is to always be mindful that the home I am privileged to help create is not mine.  It’s your home. I think I am known for being one of those designers who listens, believes in collaboration, and always strives for my clients to have a truly outstanding experience.

Your Personal Style: Let me be your personal designer!

3 Words to Describe You:  Knowledgeable, Creative, Generous

Testimonials:

Ron Kula has by far been the most professional salesman I have dealt with. He is on top of things, quick to answer questions, and has been helpful in suggesting things. He is truly an asset to your store and Walter E. Smithe Furniture.  -Wendy K

I cannot say enough amazing things about Ron and his customer service! He was so helpful, thoughtful and personable. We had been looking for a sofa and he remembered us and contacted us when one fit our criteria came into the store on an awesome deal. He took a lot of time discussing every aspect of this sofa to me. Thank you so much!  -Molly M., Bloomington, IN 

Ron Kula is amazing to work with. Is very patient, helpful, and most importantly respectful of working within the budget I give him for projects. He always gives honest feedback and keeps me abreast of the newest “finds” in the outlet store. Highly recommend Ron and Walter E. Smithe to everyone I know!!!  Leanna V.
