Katie Harbison

Katie Harbison is the founder and creative director of Katie Harbison Studio, a New York-based interior design practice known for its refined yet characterful spaces that balance timeless elegance with considered detail. With a background in both design and fine art, Katie brings a layered, intuitive approach to every project, marrying architectural sensitivity with personal storytelling.

Katie launched her eponymous studio after years working in editorial styling and interiors, where she developed a sharp eye for colour, proportion, and texture. Her work is marked by its quiet confidence—spaces that feel lived-in yet elevated, contemporary but always rooted in classic principles. Drawing inspiration from British craftsmanship, European antiques, and natural materials, her interiors are warm, tactile, and deeply personal.

Her work has garnered national attention and has been featured in leading publications such as Homes & Gardens, House & Garden, Elle Decoration, The Modern House Journal, and The Sunday Times Style. With a growing client base across the UK and internationally, Katie is quickly becoming recognised for her ability to translate mood and memory into richly layered rooms that feel both intimate and enduring.

Katie Harbison Studio takes on a range of residential projects—from city townhouses to countryside homes—with a focus on thoughtful renovation, custom detailing, and furniture sourcing that champions both established makers and emerging artisans. The studio’s work reflects a belief that good design should evolve with its inhabitants and reflect their stories, not just the latest trends.

In 2023, Katie was shortlisted for the Homes & Gardens Designer of the Year award and continues to grow her reputation as one of the most exciting voices in British interiors today.

Her guiding principle is simple: to create beautiful, soulful homes that feel just as good to live in as they do to look at.
