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 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,
