Introducing Home with Kate. A mentoring-led approach to sharing my design and life principles.
Home with Kate is a guided interior design course grounded in the belief that living in a home you love brings more joy and ease to your life.
This course is designed to transform your physical space and your experience within it.
You’ll gain an understanding of design principles. Insights on how to source and shop. Awareness of what types of environments enrich you. Confidence to make your own interior decisions. An outlet for your creativity. And a home you feel proud of.
Life will flow more easily because you will have the right things in the right places. You’ll save money and time because you won’t be buying things you don’t need. There will be less stress because you won't have a list of things to change. And others in your home will treat your space with respect.
The first Home with Kate for 2025 kicks off on Saturday March 1st
Home with Kate includes:
A structured course delivered over 8 weeks, with follow-ups at 3 and 6 months
Weekly group Zoom calls and mid-week check-ins
Weekly tasks designed to be challenging and fun
Your own one-on-one mentoring time with Kate
Connection with like-minded classmates
Discounts with Kate's favourite stores and brands
A reading, podcast and Instagram list to fuel your inspiration

This course is for anyone who loves interiors. It's for those curious about the connection between how your home feels, looks, and functions and how YOU feel. It’s for people who want their home to be different but don’t know where to start or who to ask. It’s for you if you want to pick my brains about everything I have learnt about styling, storytelling, design and decluttering. It’s for those who want to get their creativity flowing. And it’s definitely for you if you are about to embark on a renovation. It’s a course with many layers - practical, philosophical and creative.

All you need is yourself, time, a basic computer (access to the Internet and Zoom), pens, pencils, and paper. I provide multiple options for accessing and working through the weekly challenges.

The course runs for eight weeks, with follow-ups at three and six months. Changes take time. The eight-week timeframe allows for intensive knowledge exchange and then slow embedding, and action can follow.
