A New Chapter for Village Design Group
In November 2025, Village Design Group entered an exciting new chapter as Chuck and Karen Kory officially assumed ownership of the company, carrying forward a legacy that has shaped homes and communities for more than 40 years.
Built on a reputation for timeless design, trusted relationships, and exceptional craftsmanship, Village Design Group has long been a cornerstone in the region’s home design and remodeling industry. For Chuck and Karen, stepping into ownership wasn’t simply about leading a business — it was about stewarding a legacy while creating new opportunities for growth, innovation, and service.
For more than four decades, Village Design Group has helped homeowners, builders, and developers transform spaces into something truly remarkable. That history matters deeply to the Korys, and preserving the company’s foundation of excellence remains central to their vision.
Karen Kory brings more than 30 years of interior design experience to the business. Her career has been shaped by a unique balance of creativity and practicality, rooted in an understanding that great design should not only look beautiful but function beautifully as well. Her expertise spans residential interiors, finish selections, remodeling guidance, and custom solutions that help clients feel confident throughout the design process. Karen’s design philosophy has always centered around livability, thoughtful detail, and creating spaces that feel deeply personal.
Chuck Kory complements that creative vision with decades of business leadership and operational expertise. His background in strategic planning, customer experience, and organizational growth provides Village Design Group with a strong foundation for long-term sustainability and expansion. Chuck’s ability to strengthen systems, build partnerships, and create scalable solutions positions the company to evolve while maintaining the personalized service clients have come to expect.
Together, Chuck and Karen represent a powerful combination of design expertise and business acumen — a partnership uniquely equipped to elevate Village Design Group into its next era.
Their vision for the future is clear: continue building on the company’s strong reputation while expanding its capabilities, enhancing the client experience, and deepening partnerships with builders, trade professionals, and homeowners alike. This includes investing in the showroom experience, embracing new design trends and technologies, and creating even more opportunities for collaboration across every stage of the homebuilding and remodeling process.
At the same time, the Korys remain committed to what has made Village Design Group successful for over 40 years — relationships, trust, and a relentless commitment to quality.
“Village Design Group has a rich history, and we see it as both an honor and a responsibility to carry that forward,” said the Korys. “Our goal is to continue raising the standard while staying true to the values and relationships that built this company.”
As Village Design Group moves into this next chapter, one thing remains unchanged: a dedication to helping clients create beautiful, functional spaces they love coming home to.
The foundation is strong. The future is bright. And under Chuck and Karen Kory’s leadership, Village Design Group is poised to continue setting the standard for design excellence for generations to come.
