Services

Individual Room Design

I offer two flexible packages to suit the way you want to work together.

Concept Option - for clients who prefer to be in full control of ordering and tracking items but want a strong creative foundation.

  • I provide a complete design concept - including space planning, mood boards, color and material palettes and furniture recommendations. You get to take over ordering and tracking and then we’ll set a date for installation. 

Turnkey Option - for clients who want a seamless, start-to-finish experience.

  • In addition to full design concept, I’ll handle everything else including sourcing, procurement, contractor coordination, and installation - delivering a turnkey space without the stress.

Each option contains:

  • An in-depth consultation focused on your design needs, priorities and budget*.

  • Detailed design boards for each room we work on including the following, as needed: paint colors, wallpaper, fabric schemes, lighting suggestions, furniture, and home decor.

  • A 2D colored description of each scheme and an explanation of the choices made.

  • Samples to see and feel the fabrics and finishes in person before committing.

  • Two rounds of revisions before giving your final OK.

    *Minimum project budget required

Creative consultations and hourly rate - for smaller projects or when you need a bit of extra help brainstorming, etc., I can offer my hourly rate to reach your project goals.

Please inquire for more information.

Meet Kate

My love story with design began when I was a kid watching my mom run her own interiors small business. She transformed our home into an extension with beautiful objects and backdrops everywhere, weaving items from our family travels and interests into vignettes and nooks throughout. It was a magical environment in which to grow up.

As a student in a graduate program studying public policy, my focus turned outward and I explored the transformational power of design in public spaces. Later, alongside designers in Brooklyn, New York I studied pottery, welding and woodworking.

Now my focus has come full circle. I design to emphasize both comfort and comfortability; a sturdy, familiar feeling of home where you live in the here and now while embracing items or materials that provide a bit of that nostalgia magic from your past. We all deserve homes that give us both.

Let's Work Together

Client Reviews

  • "I reached out to Kate at KGK Studio to help me re-vamp my office space. In such a short time she helped me assess the space, source the right pieces and styled everything together perfectly. I struggle to shop for interior decor because of the sheer amount of options available, but Kate was able to find me the best of the best and make sure everything was cohesive. I’m so excited to have clients over at my space now, thank you Kate."

    Sera

  • “Working with Kate gave me the courage and clarity to take some design risks and helped me to source items from outside my usual outlets and vendors. I look forward to engaging her in bigger projects as they arise for my family”

    Ashley

  • "We really enjoyed working with Kate! We were struggling to bring our ideas together in a cohesive way, and she helped turn our vision into reality. Kate has a great eye for design and introduced us to so many beautiful, unique pieces that made our space feel both stylish and personal. She's patient, easy to work with, and always open to going back and forth until things felt just right. Working with her made the entire process not only easier but genuinely enjoyable - we're so happy with the end result."

    Nina

  • “I couldn’t recommend KGK Studio more highly. Kate’s attention to detail, her ability to uncover the unusual - the end product, stunning.”

    Jo

  • "Contacted Kate as an overseas / virtual customer. Love her style, thoroughness, professionalism and mostly keen eye for design and elevating the every day life style. I was in a huge design rut for soft furnishings and wall art and had been putting it off for almost 12 months but Kate has inspired and guided me in the art curation process of colours and texture and gave me ideas I had never thought of! Thank you Kate!"

    Karen

  • "Working with Kate from KGK Studio was wonderful. Kate is hard working, knowledgeable, kind, and extremely talented. She was able to transform an older and outdated space into a beautiful, cozy, and elegant home. She was able to adapt to the needs and wishes of our project. Overall, I highly recommend her for interior design. She was a pleasure to work with."

    Jamie

  • "I recently had the pleasure of working with Kate for a renovation/staging of my home and I could not be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final walk-through, Kate demonstrated exeptional professionalism, creativity and attention to detail."

    S. L.

  • "Kate has amazing taste. I trust and value her sense of style completely. I had just moved into a condo, reached out to her, and she was so professional from the get-go. She really took time to understand my project needs and vision; she was a joy to work with. I highly recommend Kate to anyone who is in need of designing a space - you'll be in good hands."

    Katarina

  • "Kate did a fantastic job reorganizing and styling my shelves the way we had envisioned. She came with great products and was accommodating to my needs and budget. I love the effect of it in my living room now and it was an absolute pleasure to work with Kate. She is an amazing partner to anyone's interior design needs!"

    Lana

  • "What began as a simple question about finding a sofa that's cat-friendly ended with Kate going out of her way to help me get what I wanted. She has been amazing (and amazingly patient!) through the whole process, helping me co-ordinate with the vendor and making it super easy for me. Highly recommend her."
