Katie in her words…

My interiors style in 3 words: Trinkets, Textures and Tones

My favourite interiors purchase ever…my custom made dining table; Marble top with sprayed metal legs. Perfect mix of simplicity, shiny new-ness but with an industrial edge.

An easy, go-to styling trick…group a few prized possessions together for a curated focal point.

If I could live anywhere, it would be…I'd like to live (for a day anyhow!) amongst Do Ho Suh's fabric structures. A breathtaking environment of Passageways that had too many details to remember from only one visit.

My design hero is… Can't pinpoint one person, I'm inspired by artists and designers across a range of disciplines.

My dream buy…a staggeringly beautiful chair which the children cannot touch. Not quite at that stage yet!

My biggest styling no-no…Blandness. Inject some personality but don't fall victim to each & every trend. Have your own opinion as to whether  you like something or not.

If money were no object I would buy…That chair!
