    Katherine took the reigns and designed a kitchen we could have never dreamed of ourselves. Katherine has a natural flare for style and ensured the design was not only functional but screamed “timeless elegance“. Katherine ensured the project was completed within budget and also assisted with the project management from start to finish. We absolutely love our kitchen and have had no end of compliments from all those who have seen it! Katherine is worth her weight in gold and we could not recommend her more! Thank you so much!” - D&C

    As soon as we sat down with Katherine, we knew she was the right person to guide us through our bathroom and laundry renovations. She listened carefully to what we wanted, then went away and created and developed the most incredible plans and renders, capturing everything we had asked for and more. Her attention to detail is second to none, and her knowledge on which products would best suit our space, was invaluable.
    We really loved that Katherine is so passionate about what she does and how she accomplishes everything with perfection. She is such a lovely, genuine person who is easy to relate to and delightful to work with, and we are so very happy to have worked with her. We love what she has done with our bathroom and laundry, she has created the most perfect space for us”. - S&R

    From the first contact Katherine's orientation towards service and keeping our needs at the centre of her services was very evident. Katherine has an extremely diligent discovery process and follows it up with some really thoughtful design interventions through a whole lot of ground work and linkages to exquisite suppliers. She is amazing when it comes to working with timelines and agreed budget outlines.
    She is also good at setting and managing expectations in a respectful manner. When we encountered some family challenges during the project, needing us to delay dates, Katherine was extremely understanding, caring, compassionate and supportive.
    She works with a large variety of great suppliers and makes the whole experience and the result a great one. Highly recommend engaging her services if you are looking for some great interior design and implementation service”. - G

    Katherine was a delight to work with on the refurb of our tired old kitchen at the beach house. Proactive, organised, and creative with excellent attention to detail throughout, she listened well to the brief, and worked effectively with a tight budget. Throughout the process Katherine put forward options for us to consider, and provided excellent guidance on all aspects of the design and build journey. The end result is a pleasure to work in, and has really enhanced the look and feel of the bach - we couldn’t be happier!”

    Finally deciding to renovate our kitchen (over difficult Covid times!) Kella Design Co. took so much of the stress out of the entire process for us! We had a rough idea of the look and feel we wanted to achieve for our new kitchen, and we were given practical and creative options with colour schemes, tiling, lighting, cabinetry, appliances, great advice on use of space, right down to discussing the finer details. We found throughout the entire process Kella Design Co. was attentive, professional and friendly. We are absolutely delighted with our new look kitchen and it has completely transformed and opened up our entire living area. We would highly recommend Kella Design Co. in a heartbeat to anyone renovating.”- A&D

    Katherine is amazing! Easy to work with, full of fresh ideas, and quickly gets a sense of her clients needs and style. We used her tasteful skills to help us pick out the exterior and interior colour scheme for our new house. She has a keen eye for details and creates a positive environment for creative collaboration. When me and my husband weren’t quite sure or aligned about some colours/ accessories, she quickly came up with more options to ensure we were both happy with the selection. She also made sure that every element worked together and we cannot wait to see the final result. We highly recommend her”. - M&M

    Katherine is super positive and friendly from the moment we met her. She was able to make me feel at ease in what would normally be a very stressful time! She knows what she is doing and made me feel super confident in the decisions we made. When I was unsure she could tell and would bring out more options to fit my wants and was very patient the whole way through. Her communication was always prompt and friendly I would highly recommend her to anyone designing their home”. I&N
