Katherine Richards Design

When you work with Katherine Richards Design, you will be embarking on an extraordinary journey where the relationship between client and designer is the cornerstone of every creation. 

 

At the heart of our process lies an unwavering dedication to understanding you – your lifestyle, your dreams, your unique essence.

 

Katherine believes that your home should be a creative reflection of your personality and aspirations; a sanctuary where every corner tells your story.

 

Katherine’s interest in you and the importance of the relationship she builds is paramount to her process.

She is able to gain a deep understanding of your lifestyle, and how to craft your personal space to reflect you.​​

She works freely, encouraging the interaction of ideas between you to flow intuitively and naturally and is inspired by her clients’ aspirations

From the outset, Katherine listens intently, all the while guiding and supporting you through the inevitable multitude of choices and confidently offering fresh perspectives.

Whether you choose calm, understated, natural schemes or bold colour combinations, she will ensure the results are tailored to evoke emotion and leave a lasting impression.

Katherine Richards doesn’t just design spaces, she crafts experiences.

 

Over the past 20 years KRD and her team of experts are proud to have completed a wide variety of successful interior design projects in homes in London, Sussex, the South East and overseas.

ethos

My ethos combines a theatre stage design background with a deeply creative focus on colour, light, form, pattern, and texture. 

I fastidiously treat each brief as a script, focusing solely on your unique needs and preferences.

Unlike designers who are known for a specific style or look, I have no interest in either following fashion trends or imposing my personal style.

 

My clients appreciate the collaborative process which often leads them to surprising, self-revealing outcomes and a more fulfilling home environment.

This way of working results in bespoke, original designs that emphasise quality and collaboration. No two ideas are ever repeated which guarantees that every project is original and entirely yours.

Distinctive design for creative spirits
Katherine Richards Interior Design

“Katherine is a great listener.

Rather than imposing her own vision, she helps you realise yours. 

And if you’re not sure what you want, she helps you find the solution. She’s got an eye for detail, a great sense of colour and texture, and a versatility which can offer you the audacious, the conservative, the fantastical or the understated, depending on your choice.”

​Sir Tony Robinson
