Volunteer Day with Designs 4 Dignity

KED Interiors Teams Up with Designs for Dignity to Transform The Bridge Youth and Family Services

It’s so rewarding to give back! The KED Interiors team recently picked up our paintbrushes and rollers at a very special location—the Bridge Youth and Family Services in Palatine, Illinois. This wasn't just any volunteer day; it was a chance to make a real difference in the lives of those who rely on the crucial mental health services provided by The Bridge and the amazing group of people that work and volunteer there.

The Bridge Youth and Family Services has long been a beacon of hope in the community, offering extensive mental health services to children and families who are often overlooked. The goal? To provide a sanctuary that not only deflects young individuals from the juvenile and foster care systems but actively fosters their social and emotional well-being through intensive intervention and mentoring.

In collaboration with Designs4Dignity, an organization dedicated to transforming non-profit environments through pro bono design services, KED Interiors focused on repainting the facility. The project involved the refurbishment of eight existing therapy suites, with an emphasis on creating spaces that inspire and soothe.

The day was filled with laughter and teamwork, as we put our design skills to work in a different realm—applying calming, therapeutic colors to the walls that would surround individuals during their most vulnerable moments.

By the end of the day, not only had the suites been transformed, but so had the spirits of everyone involved.

At KED Interiors, we believe that our environment significantly affects our well-being. It was an honor to contribute our skills to a project that aligns so closely with our mission: creating personalized spaces that resonate deeply with those who inhabit them. In collaboration with Designs for Dignity, we left feeling a renewed sense of purpose, reminded that design isn't just about aesthetics—it's about human connection and creating spaces that empower and heal.
