About ivy lane interiors

Kathryn - Ivy Lodge Director & Interior Designer

I launched Ivy in 2018 with a desire to create timeless, classic, and characterful interiors designed for modern family life. I have always had a strong interest in architecture and interiors…plus a tireless energy for hunting for antiques and vintage finds…which developed into hands-on experience renovating numerous period properties over the years.

My prior years working in consulting, business, and change management, many of these overseas, together with postgraduate training in residential interior design, have been invaluable in planning and managing complex renovation projects for clients.

We are happy to work with our clients’ chosen architects and construction teams, and also work regularly with our own partners, together bringing a wealth of combined experience in all aspects of architecture, design, joinery and construction, and strong relationship skills.

We create authentic, characterful homes that reflect the lives of our clients. Our aesthetic is timeless, so our work is not overly fashionable and always seeks to stand the test of time. We love contrasting old and new, using natural muted tones, classic materials, layering textures and incorporating eclectic details. We work collaboratively with our trade partners and suppliers to deliver beautifully designed, timeless homes for our clients.

Client Testimonials

You have such a talent and we feel so lucky that you wanted to work with us. We will be forever grateful and here’s to the next project!

Park House Client

Although drastic structural alterations were required – including the removal of an entire chimney stack that ran through the middle of the house – all changes were made with the property’s period character in mind. Original features were updated sympathetically wherever possible – the chimney stack was replaced with a faux chimney breast and log burner in the style of the original – and the bespoke joinery used throughout adds a heritage feel.

Her knack of thinking outside of the box to achieve what we could have only dreamt of doing ourselves meant taking all the stress out of undertaking such a project
