Welcome
I’m so glad you’re here!
If you live in a new build — a recently built home that’s modern but can feel a little plain — and want to add character on a budget, you’re in the right place.
About Me
Hi there, I’m Kate! I’m passionate about interior design, and I love helping others transform their spaces.
I run a home account on Instagram, New Build Forever Home, where I share my journey as I work room by room in my own new build home. Along the way, I’m making the most of the space and creating a character-filled home for me and my family.
I completely understand the challenges of turning a new build into a true home, and I love helping others bring their own visions to life—creating spaces that work for them and feel uniquely theirs.
I love to connect, so visit my Instagram page, and come and say “hi”!
Create a Home
New builds are full of potential even if they can feel a little soulless at first. I can help you rethink how your space can work with smart storage, better flow, and a home that feels like you.
Style
Styling a new build can feel overwhelming, but with the right guidance, it’s exciting. I’ll help you bring character into every corner, using colour, texture, layered lighting and vintage pieces to create a space that reflects you.
Space
Newly built Uk homes are now around 20% smaller than they were in the 70’s, so if you’re struggling with layout and storage it’s no surprise. I can show you simple tricks to maximise your space without compromising on style or functionality.
Soul
Without the inherent character of an older property, a new build home can feel soulless. I will share the tips and tricks I’ve picked up along the way to create a characterful, lived-in and cosy new build home, without breaking the budget.
