Kathryn specializes in attention to detail, her style can be called classical as she keeps in mind the harmonious rules of proportion, integrating beautiful materials and uncommon ways of combining them together to arrive at a timeless end result. Paying attention to details from the inception of the project creates the cohesive balance within the interior.
