  • What Clients Say

    Hiring Interiors by Kate for our house was the best decision we made. She took my jumble of text and image ideas I liked and, with her magical touch, turned them into exactly what I had hoped for. She was great at communicating and got the look I was going for.

  • What Clients Say

    Interiors by Kate did the exterior/interior design for our newly built transportable home. The design boards, 3D renders and furniture schedules were beneficial, and everything came together nicely! Kate understood our lower budget and provided multiple options for furniture pieces that weren’t too expensive but still fit our aesthetic needs.
