Category: Residential Interior Design Singular Space, Kitchen over 300 square feet
The clients, empty nesters, wanted a visually striking kitchen that honored the home’s traditional architecture while introducing sleek, contemporary design. The challenge was integrating modern functionality and storage within a classically styled space that hadn’t been updated in 30 years. Structural changes, refined materials and layered lighting transformed the footprint into a warm, welcoming and highly functional centerpiece. The goal was to combine two underused rooms into a single, cohesive kitchen suitable for large gatherings and everyday comfort. The clients requested more storage, integrated seating and seamless flow, while preserving the architectural integrity of their villa-style home. They envisioned a peaceful, sophisticated setting that could host up to 25 guests. The south wall was moved back by 3 feet and the dividing wall was removed to create an open, elongated layout. Euro-style cabinetry was paired with traditional crown molding to respect the home’s heritage while introducing a fresh, clean-lined aesthetic. Hidden features — including a two-drawer refrigerator and custom storage — maintained visual simplicity while boosting function. Hardwood replaced outdated linoleum and was refinished in a Country White stain throughout, visually expanding the space and tying both rooms together. The cabinetry design and layout support dedicated areas for prepping, dining and relaxing — comfortably accommodating both small and large gatherings.
Berger’s work is also represented by Neiman Marcus St Louis, showcasing over 25 pieces of original artwork in permanent display where exclusive events and showings feature her artwork, rugs, and curated environments. She has exhibited widely, with openings that bring together collectors, designers, and creatives in vibrant celebration.
Her signature collection, FAITH BERGER X THE ART RUG, transforms her original paintings into hand-tufted New Zealand wool rugs, now represented by Neiman Marcus St Louis where over 25 works of art are now in permanent display. These sculpted, tactile works have been featured in national design showrooms and publications, blending art and function in a new visual language.
Beyond the studio, Berger is the founder of Canvas for Kids, a nonprofit bringing free art experiences to children and families through local partnerships. Her mission centers on accessibility, creativity, and community—values that guide all aspects of her design philosophy. Empowering children through art is the mission that fuels this program.

Looking Ahead: A Shared Vision of Art and Design
Berger’s newest collaboration brings her artistic approach into architectural environments through a project with Design and Detail to the trade in St. Louis as well as Champion Floor Company. The collaboration will explore how art, texture, and structure can coexist within interiors to create immersive, emotionally resonant spaces and complement fellow designers' projects.
Future projects also include expanding her MILANO Collection—a series of sculpted, linear rug designs inspired by Italian modernism—through strategic brand licensing and designer partnerships. Each project underscores Berger’s belief that art should not only be seen but lived with.
“Art is at its most powerful when it becomes part of how we move through space,” says Berger. “Whether through a painting, a rug, or a room, my goal is to create an environment that feels deeply personal and beautifully connected.”
