We have lived in our house for over 8 years and while we loved the house and the location, it really needed a refresh to modernise it and create a space for our family to enjoy for years to come. Cate came highly recommended and was integral in helping to create our dream home.
Cate took the time to really understand the vision we had and was able to effectively turn it into reality. We loved the Hamptons style and Cate challenged us to step outside our comfort zone and make some bolder decisions with regards to colour and textures that has really added more character and charm to our home.
Cate stepped us through the process and supported us through all the key decsions - including removing a structural wall between the old kitchen and dining room which has completely transformed the space.
Cate has an amazing eye for colour and the colour palette she selected for our home has meant all the spaces complement and connect with each other. Her attention to detail was instrumental in achieving a cohesive look in line with our overall Hamptons vision.
Cate worked seamlessly with our building team and was readily available to support as different questions and decisions arose that needed to be made quickly - inevitable in a renovation of our scale.
We are absolutely in love with the final result and are so grateful to have had Cate's expertise and guidance throughout the project. We love our house even more and feel so lucky to have such a special place to live in!

Review for Style and Design
From start to finish Kate did an exceptionally professional job on my renovations, I couldn’t be happier, from the first day we sat down 6 months ago to discuss my job she was able to execute all my requests. Her eye for detail is impeccable from rounded corners on my marble bench top to the intricacy of the weave on the wall paper to the clarity of the glass in my pendant lights, down to the natural movement in my floor tiles. Colours, colours colours, goodness me, from my curtains to my chairs to my floor tiles to my art work to my splash back, lighting sink taps they all work , I was blown away by her fastidiousness to make sure all these element “talk to each other”
My outline was to source Australian made products where possible, this was difficult with some of their furnishings however Kate managed to source over 95% from Australia.
All the team that Kate gets to work for her are just as particular as she is, from the tilers,builders,painters, plumbers and electricians. Kate drew a schematic diagram for the painter to make sure he painted the correct tone of grey in the areas she wanted as there were 4 different shades of grey that needed to go on different components in the same area.
The scope was for a new Kitchen, the number of questions Kate had to ask me about my life style to understand how to design the kitchen to suit my life was astounding, she needed to know my type/style of cooking, number of cooks in the house instruments that need to be stored, the finished kitchen is just awesome , I love cooking and entertaining so much more now that I have a functionally stylish kitchen that just works for me.

Kate came highly recommended by our builder when we decided to build our brand new duplex and we can see why! Kate guided us through the daunting task of selecting everything for our new family home from the brick colour, paint colour, fixtures and even furniture. Kate listened closely to what we needed to suit our family and our lifestyle. We provided images of what we had seen and liked, and Kate was able to hone in quickly with what we were after which resulted in our beautiful home. Nothing was ever a too much trouble Kate and her responses were always quick, even on the weekends.
Our only regret was not engaging Kate's expertise earlier on when we were designing the building. We would never use anyone else and look forward to engaging in her expertise the next time we build.

Oh my goodness Caroline, thank you so much I'm blown away by your glowing review. I have to say that you were so easy to work with as well, always willing to listen to my suggestions and nothing ever phased you. Thank you for trusting me to come on the journey with you and I look forward to the next one.

I had an excellent experience with Kate from the start to the end of my project. She had great ideas about how to make the desired impression in my small space. Couple that with impeccable taste and the finished product looks fantastic! Kate is also just a lovely human. I found her to be approachable, enthusiastic, and always ready and able to troubleshoot. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!

Kate is fantastic! She listened to our brief- to update our home by painting inside and outside- discussed with us various options and ideas and provided the painter with a very detailed spec sheet. Kate has an incredible sense of colour and was able to meld some of the older colours with a wonderful fresh colour scheme. The results far exceeded our expectations. We would love to work with Kate again- can't recommend her highly enough!

We initially consulted Kate to design our living room. She was always very professional, punctual and pleasant to deal with. We really got the sense that she understood our needs and what we wanted for our home and our family. She showed a genuine compassion and care for our home and was very meticulous about all the design details. Nothing was ever a problem. One of the best things about working with Kate is that she always worked with us and what we wanted, whilst providing expert advice and a professional opinion. She has since designed our dining room and bathroom which has complemented our living space beautifully. I would not hesitate to recommend Kate to anyone.

I recently had the pleasure of photographing one of Kate's recent projects. Whilst I do work with and photograph for a large number of designers, I found this project to be a brilliant showcase of her design and styling talent and it really shone for me.
Kate had a perfect mix of easy going professionalism and I do hope we work together again down the track!

Kate from Style & Design has guided me through a full kitchen renovation and an overall revamp of our home. Her ideas and suggestions on all aspects of our renovation have been thorough and creative. Her professional attention to detail have made the process much less overwhelming than I expected. She has been able to source different options, keeping in mind the budget and the overall style. Kate communicates well and responds quickly to all questions. I can highly recommend Kate’s design service and have thoroughly enjoyed working with such a wonderful designer.

Kate is a lovely person who spent time with us discussing ideas for our new kitchen. She understood what my husband and I wanted and provided excellent choices. She was very approachable and no question went unanswered. I would definitely recommend Kate to help with colours, textures and design.

Kate has consulted on two projects for us in the last 12 months.
The first project was our home which we renovated to be in the Hamptons style. Kate selected everything from paint colours, new kitchen, furnishings etc. We were very pleases with Kate's professionalism and the end result.
The second project Kate recently consulted on for us earlier this yuear was a top floor apartment that needed to be completely renovated. Kate again consulted on colour schemes, kitchen, bathroom laundry and bedroom renovations including curtains, blinds, built in wardrobe design etc.
We have no hesitation in recommending Kate who requires a design consultant who has great taste, professionalism and actually arrives at the appointed time.
