Expertise

Design only, Design and supply/install

“Kate helped us with the interior design of our house following extensive building work. It was an absolute pleasure working with her. Her contributions took our house to the next level and gave many rooms the “wow factor”. We particularly appreciated Kate’s flexible way of working, adapting what she brings to the client’s needs. She can take on the full design of a room or take a more advisory role when the client prefers to take the lead. At all points, she really took on board our needs and preferences and came up with a proposition that truly reflected what we wanted. We very much hope to continue to work with Kate in the future and could not recommend her enough.”
Laura Rovegno, Preserve Cottage Project, Google Review
"Kate gave me some great advice on how to approach an awkwardly shaped, north facing bedroom. This included furniture placement, warming colours, how to draw more light into the room, and other ways to trick the eye into seeing the space differently. I had spent months thinking about how to deal with these issues, yet in minutes Kate gave me solutions I’d not considered. Approachable and professional I’d definitely recommend."
Alisha Newman, Interior Design in Llanishen, Cardiff.
"I found the process of working with Khaya very inspiring. I had my own ideas for my home but with Kate's resources and input the whole project became way more interesting. I would recommend highly. Respecting the environment is important to me and Khaya are in line with my thinking."
Lindsay Beaton, Interior Design in Farnham flat, Surrey.
