With a distinctive eye for storytelling through space, Kiah Manning has built a reputation as one of Ocala’s most imaginative interior designers. As a veteran furniture consultant and design specialist at Hudson’s Furniture, Kiah has spent nearly a decade helping clients turn houses into personal sanctuaries—balancing functionality with bold creative expression.

Kiah’s approach is deeply collaborative. He believes every room should reflect the people who live in it while leaving room for surprise: an unexpected texture, a splash of color, or a statement piece that sparks conversation. Drawing on a background in both fine art and large-scale event design, Kiah blurs the lines between interiors and installations, crafting environments that feel both livable and inspiring.

Beyond the showroom, Kiah is a familiar figure in the local arts community, serving on cultural boards and curating events that weave together design, performance, and community spirit. His projects—whether outfitting a home, staging a fundraiser, or transforming a museum space—carry a signature blend of sophistication and whimsy.

For Kiah, design is more than decoration; it’s about creating spaces that tell stories, elevate everyday life, and invite people to gather in beauty and comfort.
