Kate Wiltshire Design

We would wholeheartedly recommend Kate as interior designer. Kate did the design and sourcing for our living room, hallway and bedroom as part of Herne Hill flat renovation project and we absolutely love the result! We found working with her extremely smooth and enjoyable. Took some of the time consuming and stressful sides of renovation work off us AND we got to better design outcomes than we would have done ourselves. We felt we had someone to turn to for reassurance and advice and her communication was always top notch. Last but not least, we’re pretty sure it also saved us money thanks to transparent pricing and trade discounts.

Before working with Kate, I was feeling quite overwhelmed by what felt like endless interior design options, under-confident in my own style and like the process of decorating my new home was becoming a pressure rather than a pleasure. But from the moment I began working with Kate, everything changed for the better. Her reassuring kindness and ability to truly listen while weaving in her own amazing style, helped me find the fun in putting my stamp on my space. Kate created the most beautiful mood boards that wove together all the elements of what I love, while elevating everything to a level that I could never have arrived at alone. She tailored her approach so perfectly to what I was looking for and gave me the inspiration, confidence and support to make brave choices and trust my taste. As well has having an amazing eye, Kate is brilliantly practical and also values sustainability in design and finding pieces that have been crafted with care, which was really important to me. She truly went above and beyond, making sure the space tied in with the rest of the house and looking at every image I sent, with incredible attention to detail. She also helped me to learn how to design a whole space cohesively, while working with what’s already there, which I now feel more confident to do in other parts of my home. Kate managed to turn everything around so quickly, while also being patient and working at the pace that felt right for me. I also hugely appreciated her honesty and willingness to give her design opinion when asked, but staying totally open to what I felt would work for me. Kate is an absolute joy to work with and will help you to rekindle your own joy in making your space feel like you. I could not recommend her more highly!

Kate has been absolutely amazing in helping my husband and I (both terrible at interior design!) with ideas on how to make our dining room a place we're proud of. Our dining room has no windows and is an odd shape, so we were really stumped on how to brighten the room, effectively use the space and make it feel cosy. Kate had an initial consultation with us, taking the time to understand the room layout, what we wanted to use the space for, what furniture we wanted to keep, what our budget was and what we wanted to achieve after working with her. We had no ideas so Kate created different mood boards to show the different styles that would work in the room, incorporating the furniture we already had and suggesting new pieces / colours to consider - which were all amazing! We had a call with Kate to talk through them and agreed on the one we liked the most. Not only did she show us how amazing our dining room could look, she gave us helpful tips on how to make the room brighter, how to lay out furniture to create different spaces in the room, as well as furniture and colour ideas. She even sent links to products but also tips on what to look out for when buying products - absolutely what we needed! Once we had decided on a design, Kate created a 3D render of the room which incorporated everything we discussed and was so helpful in visualising the space before buying anything. We were so happy with the way it looked, we are literally following everything Kate recommended! Kate is not only a brilliant interior designer, she is so friendly to work with, really listens to what we were after and made us feel like we aren't as bad at interior design decisions as we thought! She is very talented in unlocking the potential of a room whilst incorporating what is already there and working within the budget provided. What was also great was that Kate offered to help as much / little as we needed, from just selecting a few furniture pieces to re-designing the whole room. We will definitely be asking Kate for help in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their home.

Kate is such an amazing interior designer who helped us to unlock potential in our home that we might otherwise have missed. Kate recently helped us to do some space planning for a new open plan kitchen, dining living space we are creating in our home. We first had a meeting to discuss the space, how we planned to live in it and our initial thoughts. She then designed a few different layouts for the room and created 3D renders for each of them. The 3D renders were so good and really allowed us to visualise each of the layout options as they were so realistic. Kate came up with a layout we hadn’t even considered that worked so well for the space and exactly met our brief. We feel so fortunate that Kate helped us find this and we would highly recommend her. We hope to work with her again on other aspects of our house renovation.

Kate makes interior design look super easy and relaxed. We needed help with designing our space in an oddly shaped bedroom. We had a good idea of the colours and feel that we wanted to achieve but needed help in how best to layout the room. After an initial zoom call with Kate, we took her through some initial moodboards we'd put together and an idea on how we thought the space could work. Kate asked us a load of questions to help her understand how we wanted to use the space and the things that were important to us. She went away and created a number of 3D renders with different layout and colour options of how the space could work. One option was exactly what we thought we wanted, but as she talked us through her thought process she showed us that there was a better option that utilises the space better and helps to open up the room. Seeing 3D renders really helped to bring the space to life and made the decision process so much easier and we already hope to work with Kate again on another of our awkward rooms.
