She shared her tips on creating beautiful textiles, inspiring the next generation of Downe House designers.
Katie founded textile and wallpaper brand Studio Humbug in 2023 and has just been named a House & Garden Rising Star of 2025.
Studio Humbug originated from Katie’s love for colour and pattern and her increasing interest in interiors, coupled with a desire to produce more sustainably on a made to order model from suppliers in the UK. All her printers and weavers are UK based, everything is printed to order in small batches using eco-friendly inks and all dead-stock is repurposed into one-of-a-kind products by a local seamstress to minimise waste.
