Meet Kat, Director of Spaces by Kat

Meet Kat

Hi, I’m Kat — Director, and Lead Organiser at Spaces by Kat.

With over 15 years’ experience in graphic design, I’ve built my career around creativity, problem-solving and an eye for detail. That background now shapes the way I approach homes — considering not only how a space functions, but how it flows, feels and looks.

Spaces by Kat grew from a lifelong love of organisation and creating order. What began with transforming spaces for myself, friends and family developed into a business dedicated to helping people create homes that feel calmer, more functional and beautifully considered.

Whether I’m organising a busy pantry, refreshing a room, helping someone settle into a new home or sourcing the right finishing pieces, my goal is always the same: to create a space that works beautifully for the people who live there.

The Spaces by Kat Approach

Beautiful spaces should work beautifully, too.

Every home and every client is different, so I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.

I start by understanding how you use your space, what isn’t working and what you’d like your home to feel like. Wherever possible, I work with what you already own, introducing new storage solutions, furniture or finishing pieces only where they genuinely add value.

The result is a home that feels considered rather than overdone — organised, functional and beautifully yours.

A Creative Eye, A Practical Approach

My design background brings another layer to the way I see a space.

After more than 14 years working in graphic design and creative direction, I naturally look at proportion, colour, balance, composition and the relationship between individual elements.

I bring that same thinking into your home, alongside the practical side of organisation.

It means I’m not only considering where something should go, but how the overall space comes together — from storage and layout through to styling and finishing touches.

The goal is always to find that balance between function and beauty, creating spaces that feel cohesive, intentional and easy to live in.

Kind Words From Our Clients

  • “I was very lucky to win Kats competition she did recently and it was amazing! Kat is so lovely, very easy to talk too but that didn’t stop her from getting the job done! Within 10minutes of arriving after we said hello and got to know each other, she was right into it, pulling things out and reorganising/decluttering! She actually inspired me to start the kids room while she was there! I’m so thankful that we had this opportunity and it’s helped us so much! Thank you!!”

  • "We recently had our pantry organised by Spaces by Kat, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. What was once cluttered and overwhelming is now beautifully streamlined and so functional. Every item has a home, and it’s made everyday life feel so much easier. The attention to detail, thoughtful layout, and overall finish exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Spaces by Kat to anyone wanting a practical yet aesthetically pleasing transformation."

  • “I have enjoyed working with Kat on the spaces in my house, she takes a practical yet relaxed and fresh approach with each space, thinking carefully about who is using it, how often and also how the space is used. The weight lifted off my shoulders once a space is complete is incredible. Can't wait to get her back for more spaces."
