Kate O'Connor

Kate O'Connor

Interior Designer/Owner

While some people like to look for beautiful spaces, Kate prefers to create them. Kate has been helping people find "The Look" for well over ten years. Her vast experience enables her to work with people to curate schemes that reflect their personal tastes, as well as the spaces they live in. A good design scheme should enhance the aesthetic of a space, making our clients comfortable and happy in their own homes.

With a degree in Fine Arts from Ilam, Kate has worked on everything from multi-million dollar fitouts, Luxury yachts, to simple off-the-shelf solutions for bach owners. Outside of work, her love of yachting (both racing and cruising) and painting both keep her busy.

  • From the moment I made my initial enquiry through to the day the furniture was removed the staff at The Look were a pleasure to deal with. Kate was very approachable and listened to my ideas, translated them perfectly and added her special touch, I couldn’t have been happier.

  • I have to admit I was initially skeptical about home staging, but the results are just superb and worth every penny. Congratulations again on a great job.
    Richard, Titirangi
  • I would just like to say thanks so much for such a fabulous job you have done on staging our house. You have completely transformed it and I can't believe it could look so fantastic. This has by far been the best money I have spent on the house and it makes the house look like a million dollar property.Thanks again and I will look forward to using you next time.
