EVOLVE INTERIORS STUDIO . . .
. . . is headed by me, SBID Associate Kate Barlow, an alumni of (and now a Visiting Tutor at) KLC School of Design in Chelsea Harbour who cut my interior teeth on high-end residential projects whilst working with top London designers Joanna Wood and Taylor Howes Design, before heading out to New Zealand for 3 years where a more practical, hands-on and dynamic approach was required at Wall Street Designs, a leading Wellington showroom and consultancy.

What’s your interior design process?
It’s most definitely a team effort! It’s your home, so I work with you to find the style that suits you, with a little nudging out of your comfort zone occasionally ?
We start with a face to face consultation, and work through creating design concepts, followed by design development & sourcing, with the final piece of the jigsaw being the installation & project coordination, if you want that too.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
Across the board, from traditional to contemporary & modern, eclectic to neutral. We don’t believe in a “house-style” approach.
What do you love most about your job?
The variety - no two days are the same - and the chance to work creatively with a wide range of people, from great clients to amazing contractors.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I find that to be properly creative I need freedom, and running my own business really does deliver that for me!
Why should our clients choose you?
I have been very fortunate to have learned the interior design industry from some great people, and I now use those principles of design and customer service in my own practice, whatever the budget!
Room x Room Design
This is simply a one room at a time approach - it may only ever be one but, over time, might become more.
The Full Interior Design Package
Looking at a home as a whole, this is where I can help with transforming your property into a place you will love to return to!
Designer On Call
Do you just need a bit of hand-holding while you Do It Yourself? This service involves buying a block of hours after which I am “on-call” (within reason, of course!) to help with sourcing, design advice and generally nudging you towards making the best decisions for you.
Kitchen & Bathroom Design
The “technical” rooms can sometimes be bewildering, so let me help you plan the best solution whilst creating something very special.
Architectural Plan Sanity Check
Architects are amazing designers of spaces, but sometimes an independent pair of eyes to check that your furniture will fit, and you can hang those curtains you love can be invaluable...
