Connors & Co.

As a complete novice at all things design and renovate-y it was with some trepidation that I approached Kate to ask her to revamp our three-bedroom apartment. I needn't have worried; Kate is a consummate professional but she is also extremely down-to-earth and relatable. She instantly worked out what we wanted, her concept drawings were fabulous and her choices of furniture and fabrics were perfect. We had a number of COVID-induced challenges but Kate was always incredibly flexible and responsive and maintained her sense of humour as we brought to life our vision over 2020. I couldn't be happier with the results and I can't recommend Kate highly enough.

Kate is fantastic! She was an absolute dream to work with and was able to translate my ideas into reality... and with much more polish and creativity than I could have possibly achieved alone. Kate was able to find the right balance of family friendly and beautiful design. Would definitely recommend Connors and Co!!

We engaged Kate for her Designer for a Day service. We have just downsized and she helped us furnish our new apartment with such professionalism, taking the overwhelm out of the whole process for us. In fact it’s been a pleasure. Our day out visiting showrooms was very well planned and executed. We managed to get so much achieved whilst still enjoying a couple of lovely breaks in Fortitude Valley for coffee and lunch. We are thrilled with the result and feel so comfortable, content and at home in our new space.

Kate is so wonderful and helped me get focused and in the right direction for my daughters room. I highly recommend her

I found Kate on Houzz and was impressed with her expertise, her reputation, as well as her portfolio. I was delighted to see she had relocated to Brisbane from Sydney (my husband and I had just done the same), so I asked her to quote on a design concept for our recently purchased Queenslander. Our preference was to use pops of colour throughout and we are very happy with the result. We also had cabinetry built in the living area, and it looks like it was original to the house. Kate was very professional and easy to work with. She communicated regularly, was always punctual and met our brief. I strongly recommend hiring Kate and her team to create your perfect home.

Kate was recommended by a friend who engaged her services for a renovation on an Art Deco apartment. Whilst we were convinced of her ability we weren't sure her style was the right fit for us. With minimalist taste, our intention was to completely renovate (not restore) our Californian Bungalow creating a modern interior. Kate demonstrated her versatility and delivered our brief for a restrained, sleek and sophisticated design. She convinced us to soften the design with natural finishes and a nod or two to the original house (including the sandstone fireplace) which have become our favourite features. The result is highly considered yet understated - everything we dreamt of. We would have no hesitation in recommending Kate.

Thank you Kate for your professional help through my renovation. It was overwhelming to try and bring together a designer look for the renovation as well as manage other aspects of the build. It helped that you could step in post the start of the renovation and finalise and deliver a modern designer concept for my bathrooms and kitchen. You managed the complexity of working with decisions already made and helped me take the bathrooms and kitchen to a modern designer look and feel. You challenged my ideas and made me realise the benefits that a trained interior design professional brings with your knowledge of trends, finishes, design practicality and latest products available. Testament to the finished product is that I love living in these spaces.

We hired Kate to put together a design concept for our house 2 years post renovation. We were finding it difficult to build a coherent look to our interiors and Kate really helped us bring everything together. Kate developed an overall design concept which included joinery and furnishing for the bedrooms, living areas and study that we could work from at our own pace. She understood our style and needs as a family and created a beautiful and functional concept for us. We were impressed with Kate's attention to detail, creativity and professionalism. We are so delighted with the result and would use her again without hesitation for any future projects.

Kate helped me in the last stages of what was a big renovation with finishing touches to the soft furnishings and cabinetry. She was very professional at all times, responsive to emails, always on time for meetings with me, clear with the scope and what the budget included so I always knew where I stood financially. I have slightly off centre taste and she really worked with me to ensure the final product was what I wanted whilst also ensuring that it did work with the style of the house, she wasn't afraid to say if something I liked didn't work (in the nicest way possible!), and would then offer suggestions still within my style. She would source options for me that I would never have thought of or ever found just by researching myself. She is also a very easy going person to work with. I would highly recommend her.

We hired Kate to consult on our renovation including the complete re-working of several bathrooms, laundry, kitchen and living/dining spaces, outdoor colour-scheme, exterior doors and windows. The scope of our project expanded substantially from initial brief to completion and Kate handled the expanded workload with aplomb. We were really pleased with the quality of the products Kate sourced and her suppliers/tradespeople were honest, hardworking types who were a pleasure to have around the house. Most importantly we felt that Kate 'got' our style and what we wanted to achieve from the renovation. When she presented ideas which weren't quite what we had in mind (generally due to us not coherently articulating our vision) she was able to very quickly recalibrate and present us with concepts which fit the brief. Kate made an effort to source products which were child-friendly as well as stylish and her fabric, hardware and surface advice was spot-on. We will definitely approach Kate for future stages of our home.

We hired Kate on the strength of her portfolio, and we weren't disappointed. Her expertise, and meticulous eye meant that every aspect of of our bathrooms was attended to. She listened to our designed briefs and provided solutions that we would not have imagined ourselves. Kate eased us through the whole process, from conception through to the build, and handled the trades, and the deliveries. She was professional at all times, and very easy to talk to. Can't wait to start our next project with Kate!

Kate provided us with some wonderful ideas for our kitchen and worked within our budget. This included colours, tiles, design, cabinetry to sourcing products and tradespeople. She worked with our interests and our style to transform a rundown retro kitchen to a simple, beautiful and elegant kitchen. Kate was a pleasure to work with.

Kate did an amazing job on our house and came up with amazing ideas and concepts. Very approachable and reliable, I loved working with her and seeing what ideas she came up with, highly recommend!

We requested Kate's expertise to assist us with renovating our bathroom and laundry for our 2 bedroom apartment. From design and inspiration, through to project managing the installation, Kate provided a level of vision, experience and commitment that eased our anxiety at tackling our first renovation. Not once did we ever have to follow up an order or a tradesmen, Kate handled it all, whilst always managing our expectations. The quality of the outcome was far superior to anything we had hoped for, with so many well thought out ideas, both practical and aesthetic, that we would never have come up with on our own, but were always matched to our sense of style and palette. We can't thank Kate enough for helping us transform the greatest eye-sores in our apartment into it's greatest assets.

Working with Kate with the challenges of being in a different country and time zone has as been a breeze. Her vision in the design and attention to detail for the entire project has been spot on. Completely replacing the existing bathroom and kitchen along with painting the entire the unit. All elements hang together beautiful and make the most of the one bedroom unit. Kathryn & Simon

After seeing her impressive portfolio, I hired Kate to help renovate the second level of our house, which includes two bathrooms, three bedrooms, and a completely new layout. From the very beginning, I knew that Kate would tick all the boxes. She has an impeccable sense of style, and her attention to detail is remarkable (she also has a great sense of space, and knows how to put everything together beautifully). Her approachable and professional attitude helped to make the entire experience stress free, and enjoyable. She is experienced, very knowledgable, and really understood our brief and our wishes, much better than we could have ever anticipated. I hope an opportunity arises to work with Kate in the future.
