Artfully Edited Interiors

No prior experience is required — Kathryn teaches from first principles, starting with how to train your eye, pull colour from your surroundings and build a scheme using her simple rule of a floral, a check and a stripe. Beginners decorating their own home will find approachable techniques like starting with a cream canvas and layering, while aspiring professionals get insider guidance on letters of agreement, markups, design fees and how to structure client presentations. It's designed to be useful whether you're refreshing one room or considering design as a career.

Absolutely — budget-conscious decorating is woven through the entire course. Kathryn shows how a ten-euro flea market embroidery became a favourite wall piece, how a yard of fabric can become two pillows or a lampshade, and how repurposing found objects and vintage textiles creates more character than expensive new furniture. There's also a dedicated lesson on structuring a decorating budget room by room, including tax, shipping, storage and contingency, so you can phase your project affordably without hidden costs.

Rather than teaching formulas, Kathryn films entirely inside her own French farmhouse — the 'laboratory' where she has experimented with textiles, colour and pattern for decades — so you see real, lived-in rooms rather than staged sets. Her signature focus on textiles as the starting point for every scheme, plus her philosophy of curation, sustainability and never being 'serious' in decorating, gives you a distinctive point of view you won't find in generic decorating tutorials. You also get her professional business insights, from markups to client presentations, from a designer with a decades-long career.

Yes — the lesson on styling is built around changing a room without buying anything new, by rearranging books, moving mirrors, repositioning art and rethinking accessories. Kathryn shares specific rules such as odd numbers for candlesticks and even numbers for lamps and bowls, plus tips on slipcovers, pillows, lampshades and seasonal bed covers for instant makeovers. It's ideal if you want to transform how your home feels without a full renovation.
