'Luxe For Less' on HGTV: Who is Kai Williamson? Designer to bring her innovative artistry to interiors show
ATLANTA, GEORGIA: HGTV gears up to launch a brand new show featuring some of the brightest minds from the design industry. The new series, 'Luxe For Less’, is another starry addition to the platform’s vast list of renovation shows. But this series will bring a new twist to luxury renovation. It will feature a team of designers refurbishing spaces into plush resort-like structures but with a minimal budget.
Helmed by interior designing genius Michel Boyd, the mind behind the SMITHBOYD studio who has starred on Bravo’s ‘Buying It Blind’, the series will follow him and his innovative team as they remodel their client’s homes into beautiful and luxe abodes. All of it will be achieved without the hefty price tag that usually defines luxe interiors. Michel’s team comprises design professionals Kai Williamson, Laura Green, and his ‘Rock The Block’ partner Anthony Elle. Michel has known the three throughout his career and invited them personally to be a part of his team in ‘Luxe For Less’. So, while viewers are waiting with bated breaths for the show to premiere, here are the details of one of the designers, Kai Williamson.
