Kate Lovejoy Interiors

We worked with Kate for the second time, this time remotely for our holiday home in Dorset. Kate gave excellent instructions for the measurements, floor plans and photos she would need and then provided online mood boards for each room, including the overall colour scheme and suggested furniture and layouts. From the kitchen makeover and exact paint instructions throughout, she was even across all the detail from light switches to houseplant accessories. A top to bottom service and an amazing result, thank you, Kate!

‘Kate really helped us with our renovation and with her flair for design and colour, our house has been transformed into a home. She understood our style, how we needed the layout of our home to work better for us and encouraged us to make bolder decisions with colour. She also supported the design process through lockdown, helping coordinate furniture orders with an ever changing build schedule and providing advice via email, phone or video calls. We’re so happy with the final result and would recommend Kate for anyone looking to renovate their home, it’s a well worth investment.’

We really enjoyed working with Kate and found the whole process very collaborative from start to finish. We love her eye for colour and the way she interpreted our not entirely mainstream ideas to come up with workable solutions. She listened carefully to what we wanted and translated it very pragmatically. In particular she gave great input into our ideas for the design of our rugs and ensured we ended up with what we had envisaged. Kate also has a great address book of suppliers covering not only bespoke rugs but also sofa makers, curtain and blind makers, decorators, upholsterers and carpenters. She is good to work with – efficient, punctual and keeping us updated on progress. Kate turned something that we viewed as a bit of a chore into a process we really enjoyed and we look forward to working with her again in future.

Kate was brilliant. She understood completely what I wanted in terms of colour, cost etc. She was always very helpful and nothing too much trouble. Would highly recommend her.

We worked with Kate on a stunning kitchen project in 2016/17. Being a Houzz Pro ourselves we can highly recommend Kate to inspire your project and re-assure you that you will be in safe hands.

We have always done our own design projects in the past, having an eclectic style and enjoying the process, but raising a family has meant we have limited free time these days and so wanted to work with a designer who could both incorporate our existing pieces and taste, as well as open up the space we have and source new, interesting furniture. Kate has given our living space the four defined areas we hoped for and found amazing complementary pieces in our exact taste and style. We will definitely use her for our next project!

I worked for Kate on a project in Bray, Berkshire. I found Kate really organised, good at communication and overall a real pleasure to deal with. All materials arrived on time and Kate was always available when I needed her. The design it self was a mixture of bold wall coverings and some really individual pieces of furniture.I know the clients were really pleased with Kate's design work. Looking forward to the next project

Kate's ability to put a vision into reality is spectacular. Her eye for detail and imagination when putting together a theme has wowed us. Kate puts so much effort into her projects and designs, something you can see with the amazing final results. We really enjoyed working with her, she listened and helped us with every step. The living room is definitely better than we could have expected. We would not hesitate working in another project in future with her.

Kate helped us with the design of our new kitchen/living area and study. She was very easy to work with and created a beautiful colour scheme for both rooms which we love. She also sourced some gorgeous furniture, lighting and soft furnishings for us which we would never have found on our own! We are delighted with the finished result.

Kate transformed a room that I hated with a passion into a room that I love with even more passion! It really is my favourite room in the house now - such a shame I have to share it with the rest of the family. I really had no idea where to start, or how to make the room look good whilst still being functional. Kate was able to guide me towards colours and styles that worked - and that I liked- and was able to pull it all together into a cohesive beautiful room. She had so many ideas, such an eye for detail, an unerring knack of making things work, an instinct for tracking objects down that she knew would work - I could go on forever! I would love for her to do the rest of the house, and I trust in her ability and innate understanding of what 'our style' is that I'd be happy for her to do it with minimal input from me!

When it was time to redecorate our apartment we decided, rather than just have it all painted cream again, we should perhaps change some of the soft furnishings and have some of the walls papered, but were at a loss as to where to start. When friends of ours showed us what wonderful changes Kate had made to their home we were so impressed that we asked for her contact details immediately. I admit we were a little nervous, as we had never used an interior designer before, but Kate was like a breath of fresh air. She gathered information about our interests and colour preferences and came up with inspiring ideas which we would never have thought of ourselves. When she brought round the first of bespoke cushions and lampshades we were speechless as they were so lovely. We cannot recommend Kate highly enough; she is professional, hard working and very talented and we would certainly use her services again in the future. Even if you only have a small project, Kate has demonstrated she can make a real difference. We smile every time we open our front door. Thank you, Kate!

We are absolutely thrilled with our new kitchen/ living/dining room. We started off a little confused about what we wanted, but Kate really listened to us and helped crystallise our ideas and we’ve ended up with a perfect space that really suits our tastes and lifestyle. From designing the layout to helping choose curtain fabrics, Kate was there every step of the way. We felt she really understood what we wanted even better than we did, and she worked really well with our builder to help us achieve this!
