Work with Sara

With over 15 years of experience in luxury kitchen and bath design, Sara Filthaut brings a wealth of knowledge, creativity, and passion to every project. As the founder of Kaybrook Design, Sara specializes in personalized cabinetry and custom interiors that blend timeless beauty with everyday functionality. Her approach is never cookie-cutter—each design is carefully tailored to reflect the way her clients live, so their spaces not only look stunning but also work seamlessly for their routines.

Sara’s work has been recognized throughout the design community and beyond. She has been:

• A Featured Designer at the Michigan Design Center

• Highlighted in The Detroit News and C&G Newspaper

• A guest speaker and mentor for students at Kendall College of Art and Design

• Invited to lead a luxury kitchen design tour at the Michigan Design Center

• Actively involved in community projects, including The Designing the Classics" a fundraiser for WXYZ Channel 7's "If You Give a Child a Book" campaign

Her design philosophy is simple yet powerful: Great design is found in the details you don’t always notice. Drawing inspiration from travel, textiles, music, and photography, Sara thrives on solving design challenges in ways that feel effortless and timeless.

What truly sets Sara apart, however, is her ability to connect with clients on a personal level. She takes the time to listen, to understand how families actually use their homes, and to create spaces where memories are made, whether it’s gathering in the kitchen for weeknight dinners or entertaining friends around an outdoor firepit.

At the heart of her work is a genuine passion for making lives better through design. For Sara, every project is more than cabinets, finishes, or layouts, it’s about creating a backdrop for her clients’ lives, one that feels beautiful, functional, and uniquely theirs.
