I have always loved interior design, from decorating the tent on a family holiday as a child to restyling every place I've lived over the years.
I have that passion for it because I can see how it can really transform your outlook and feeling of well being.
After working in visual merchandising for 15 years, I learned how colour, light and space work together, three key elements in interior design.
I also noticed how fashion influences interior décor. If you look at this years colours and styles on the catwalk you will most likely see them next year in top interior magazines, whether it's boho chic or 70s retro.
I found myself advising so many people with redesigning their home that eventually I couldn't resist going for a degree in Interior design and architecture. I learned a new set of skills and was ready to go!

I have had experience with quite a few interior designers in the past - not always successfully. However Catherine really ticked every box. She listened to the brief, took time to learn about our family life and needs and most importantly understood our budget and kept to it! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her - she is creative but realistic with space and a lovely person to deal with.

We spoke to Catherine with regards to helping us organise the layout and final details of a new extension. Catherine was hugely professional in her approach and we really appreciated her well thought out and practical approach to making our home work for us and to get the best from our plans. She suggested simple changes that really made a difference and we would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. We are looking forward to working again with her soon!

I recently had an online consultation with Catherine and was extremely impressed. Catherine was very pleasant to deal with and she got a good idea of the project through email prior to the actual consultation. She had already looked into certain areas of the project and came with some great ideas. She suggested some key changes to the project which I had not thought of myself but really made a difference. I would have no hesitation recommending Catherine and will certainly get in touch with her the next time I am updating my home.

From the initial meeting through to the finishing I was delighted with the work of re-interiors. Catherine had great ideas to get the most out of small and awkward spaces, she involved me throughout the process to design my living room and open plan living/dining and kitchen and to my budget. She gave great direction and ideas, was lovely to work with and always delivered to a high standard. I am very happy to recommend re-interiors for future clients.

Catherine is very professional and helped me choose colours for a flat that needed a massive face lift. The end result was amazing. Her suggestions were straight forward, simple and suited my budget.
She arrived armed only with her colour charts and her time!

Thanks so much for the lovely review! I'm delighted the colours look so well and I hope my suggestions for the curtains and lighting helped create extra warmth and comfort.

Catherine helped us to turn our apartment into our home. During the process we never felt like just another customer, she made us feel special. Catherine spent a lot of time and effort to ensure that we are happy with every detail. She listened carefully to what we wanted and came up with a design that we love. Some of her ideas took us out of our comfort zone and our apartment is better for it. We could not recommend re-interiors enough to anybody thinking of making their home warm and unique.
Thank you Catherine for all your hard work!

It was so nice to work with you both and to incorporate your eclectic art etc into the scheme.
I can't wait to get pictures when the restrictions ease!
Thanks again, (and you are special!!)

I availed of Catherine’s 2 hour Consultation service. It was definitely money well spent !
Catherine offered fresh ideas & a vision. She was extremely generous with her time & nothing was too much trouble. Post our consultation Catherine provided a mood board together with a summary document outlining where items could be purchased & providing names of professionals to undertake any work. It has been my bible! And I am gradually implementing her plans.
Catherine has a lovely approach to her work & is pragmatic. She didn’t try to force her ideas on me but listened & made sure she took on board my style & taste. It was exactly what I was looking for.
I found Catherine’s Consultation Service hugely beneficial & would highly recommend it.

Catherine was a god send to my renovation project. She was extremely generous with her time and talent. She listened to what I wanted and offered sound advice without ever being pushy. I loved all her ideas. She surprised and impressed me time and time again with her ability to create style and classic beauty using simple pieces. I could not have done it without her.

I highly recommend Catherine and her work. She has a great eye for colour and texture and effortlessly finds options to choose from. She is very understanding and respects the client's desires and priorities. She has the ability to see the bigger picture and also the knowledge and expertise to tune into the smaller details so that the overall look is harmonious. All her contacts for painting, plasterwork, electrics, and woodwork turned up trumps. She has been the catalyst for transforming our house,
