EXCITING HOMES WHERE YOU CAN FEEL GOOD AND LIVE WELL TOGETHER

INTERIOR DESIGN

INTERIOR DESIGN

I work boldly and intuitively with my clients, commercial and creative partners on the concepting, sourcing, build and styling of each project to find playful and meaningful ways to tell your story.

Each project begins with you - how you want to feel and function in each room. My one rule when we decorate is that there are no rules. We adventure freely together through eras, cultures and rituals, creating uniquely beautiful autobiographical spaces where you can feel good and live well.

KALINA projects are thoughtfully planned and delivered by me and a trusted team of local trade experts via some or all of the following consultancy services:

  • personalised style mood boards

  • coherent colour palette

  • spatial planning

  • decoration

  • FF+E sourcing: contemporary and vintage/antique

  • styling

  • project management

Whether you need advice on a specific design dilemma, you’re half way through your renovation or right at the start of this epic journey, please get in touch for a friendly chat so that we can work out how to take your home to the next level.

INTERIOR DESIGN: HOW IT WORKS

Let’s go:

Following an initial phone chat, we start by getting laser clear on your brief with a face to face ‘site meeting’ at your home to explore who lives there, how you use the spaces and walk through each room together to assess the aspect, light, layout, architectural details and decor, riffing ideas as we go.

With this clear brief, I then share a tailored proposal with you, outlining my recommended approach, the timeline and budget - and then the magic happens.

The journey:

We focus first on colour - your superpower to feeling good - and our design concept flows from this, with mood boards to help you visualise every room and spatial plans to get the layout just right.

The design process is symbiotic - step by step we work closely together, with scheduled site meetings, regular updates via email and lots of chat on WhatsApp, giving you the confidence to express yourself.

The destination:

Dependent on the scope, a team of local trades will deliver our design plan for the renovation. I project manage the build right through to the final styling touches and encourage you to be as hands on or off as you feel.

We prioritise sustainable practices and materials wherever possible, leaving you with an exciting ‘new’ home that truly feels good and where you can live well together.

“Our new home needed a complete overhaul. The task of reimagining every room felt so daunting, but Kim swooped in with such energy it became a joy. Her unique vision, intuitiveness and warmth, her eye for colour and for special one-off vintage pieces, made the experience really fun. She broke down each decision into manageable chunks and managed to distill my tastes into a coherent vision for our home. I also really appreciate her focus on using sustainable and eco-friendly brands. She’s a true talent and a gem!”
