KATE
Kate’s passion for interior design has been a constant throughout her life. She began her journey with a degree in Textile Design, which laid the foundation for her eye for detail and love of materials. After working as a Homeware Buyer in London, Kate further honed her skills by studying Interior Design at Central Saint Martins. This led her to a career in Edinburgh, where she spent six years as a designer before opening her own studio, Studio Heim, three years ago.
Now based in Linlithgow with her husband and two working cocker spaniels, Kate focuses on creating spaces that feel like a true sanctuary. Her goal is to make the process of home design stress-free, helping you craft a serene and balanced space that you’ll enjoy for years.

She focuses on making each space both beautiful and functional with her love for texture and muted colours, believing these elements can bring a calm, sophisticated feel to any space.
