“When we first bought our home, I struggled to see how the layout could work and had no idea how to style it. Honestly, if it weren’t for the great location, I’m not sure we would have gone through with the purchase - I just couldn’t picture it becoming the kind of home I wanted. That’s when I reached out to Kate at Studio Ostra. From the very beginning, she really listened. We talked through the styles I love, the colours I’m drawn to, the mood I wanted to create, and the non-negotiables for our family of five. I wanted a home that felt like us; warm, welcoming, full of personality, and practical for everyday family life - yet still with that “wow” factor when people walked in. Kate brought all of this to life. The mood boards she created instantly gave me a sense of calm and excitement, showing me how everything could come together. What I appreciated most was that her ideas were not only stylish but also realistic - durable for family living, within budget, and often sustainable. She embraced our passion for upcycling and even sourced beautiful local pieces with stories behind them, which makes our home feel that much more special. Now, I truly love our house in a way I never imagined possible. It feels like a reflection of us, both functional and inspiring. Kate’s talent completely transformed how I feel about our home, and I would choose Studio Ostra again in a heartbeat.”

“We engaged the services of Studio Ostra to help with our guest bedroom and the entranceway of our home. From the very first concepts, we were really impressed. Kate gave us clear ideas, pricing, and sources to find everything, which made it so easy to bring to life. What really stood out was how effortless the process felt. Kate was always on time, quick to respond, and her eye for detail gave us so much confidence. Now, those spaces feel welcoming and thoughtful - exactly what we hoped for. We would highly recommend Kate for all your interior design needs.”

“When my wife first said she wanted to get an interior designer, I wasn’t convinced. Honestly, I thought it was a waste of money and something we could just figure out ourselves. Turns out, I was completely wrong. Kate has transformed our house into a proper home. Now I actually want to have people over to show it off, and at the same time I love just being at home - it feels calm and comfortable. What really impressed me is that she worked within our budget without blowing it out. Everything looks amazing but is still practical and realistic for family life. Our place feels full of personality, love, and it actually works for us. My only regret is not getting in touch with Kate sooner.”
