Hi, I’m Cate St Hill, an interiors stylist, consultant, writer and content creator based in south east London. You’ll find me wearing stripes, dressing my home in green, seeking out the very best cinnamon buns, looking for my next city break and embracing anything that’s cosy and simple. My home is my sanctuary and I like to create quiet spaces that exude calm, tranquility, harmony and balance.
With a background in architecture, I’ve been writing about design for the past 12 years, as a design journalist and one of the UK’s best interior bloggers. I now split my time between writing, styling, consulting for private resi clients and creating content for brands. My work has been featured in The Times, The Telegraph, Grazia, Enki magazine, Elle Decoration Denmark and more. I’m also the author of The Japandi Home: Nordic Minimalism meets Japanese Zen, published by Union Square in the US and UK in May 2025. On my website I share inspiration for simple living, whether it’s a home project I’ve recently completed, a new design that’s on my radar or a city break that takes in the best hidden gems.
