By Katie Uther Design
This classic home with views over Balmoral had good bones but was in need of renovation and a few adjustments to suit the new family's lifestyle. Providing a design that was traditional yet with a modern edge was the concept on which this design was built upon. Replanning of the kitchen allowed for a butler’s pantry, Wolf appliances and classic, yet pared-back style cabinetry. Natural quartzite stone was selected for its durability and practicality. Bathroom designs departed from standard built-ins and rather freestanding vanities,more like handcrafted furniture.

Sydney interior design studio Katie Uther Design provides a highly personalised bespoke approach ; a service more comprehensive than a decorator and more specialised than an architect.
With the understanding that no two assignments are the same, the response to each commission is an expression of the client’s individuality, personality, living style and preferences.
Informed by open dialogue and exchange Katie sees her role is to interpret her client's wishes, resolving the pragmatics of form and function while creating a seamless integration with the architecture.
Rather than follow the latest trend Katie focuses on designing to create the desired feeling the interior space evokes. Favouring natural materials, the play between textures through selections of materials and lighting Katie aims to combine classic style and proportion expressed with beauty and refinement.
Originally a Sydney-sider, Katie's experience living and working in Paris and London shaped the designer she is today. Working across cultures and countries Katie brings a blend of European style and international experience to the creation of a uniquely Australian sensibility.
