Katie Riddell - Interior decorator

I enjoy making a house a home.

I'm interested in how rooms can be transformed and how they can make you feel.  I've worked with people who knew something was wrong in their home but didn't know how to fix it.  They felt stuck and needed help making their home a space they felt comfortable in.

I believe that a space should reflect the people that live there and not just follow trends.  Style does't need to be expensive.

I've had an interest in all things interior since I was a child.  However, my career didn't reflect that initially as I went on to become an in-house lawyer for some major corporations (that's a topic for another workshop).  However, I returned to study interior design and here I am now.

My workshop is designed to give you the basic principles of design and go through my do's and don'ts of decorating (a bit of a cheat sheet!).  Then we'll go through some examples to see what you've learned at the workshop (it's ok, it won't be a pass or fail!)

I live in Melbourne with my husband, daughter and kelpie, chow chow, german shepherd cross dog, Matilda.  My project in country Victoria was recently featured on the front cover of the Gippsland Magazine, which was such a thrill!  I'm also a an associate member of the Design Institute of Australia.
