It's a dream come true to be able to launch a range of 12 heritage colours inspired by my house in Italy – alongside an exclusive collection of matching and co-ordinating ceramics.
Kate, i have been following you for awhile starting with the great indoors, then through mad about the house and now on substack. My interest peaked when you purchased the home in Turin, as we have spent a good amount of time in Italy and now have acquired a home in Porto Santo Stephano. The recent post of the supermercato photos and inspo made me smile out loud, and now this……its absolutely stunning. The essence of la dolce vita. I have had a dream about meeting you in Italia and although it is farfetched at my time of life (3 kids still at home) ….one day I would be so lucky. The next project we have at home will surely be guided by your design (the melanzane room is my fav , and might be copied exactly 😉) but for now i will settle for living vicariously with you here . 😊
You’re so kind thank you. What a wonderful spot for your own house although I imagine it’s mighty hot there. When you say dov’è for my kitchen I assume you mean where did we get it? We asked the builders to make brick walls which they then plastered over (by far the cheapest arrangement) then we bought a marble slab for the top from a local stone mason and the carpenter made shelves to fit the gaps.
Absolutely beautiful paint colours, and as supporters of The Woodland Trust, I love that for every sale they plant a tree. I’ve just ordered yours and Graphenstone’s colour card, which will no doubt occupy me for hours! Thank you for all the great ideas and advice you share on this platform.
You’ve outdone yourself, Kate. I can’t even use exclamation points. This house, from the outside (but as a long time reader, podcast listener, book owner) seems the purest expression of your vision. It’s a joy to see your work pay off in this dream of a beautiful canvas to work with. So looking forward to all the pictures. Wishing you a contented Summer!
I just love how your home in Italy has turned out! You've done a beautiful job blending your style with the soul of the house. What a special place. Congrats on the new collection!
Absolutely love what you have done here, using the inspiration from both around and in the house including the light ! Then with your impeccable design eye you have given it the unmistakable Kate WS feels. Congratulations you must be delighted.

What a beautiful message to read. Thank you from my heart x

Congrats Kate all of this is so gorgeous! 🤩👌🏼
so beautiful - love it all!
Absolutely stunning.
This is *gorgeous*. 🤍
These are wonderful Kate. And what a gorgeous home you’ve designed 💕
So clever and very beautiful !
oh those doors! I had similar ones in my Rome apartment & I miss them terribly. As soon as I have basic things like stairs & a kitchen I am
on the hunt for some for the Venice house.
Those green arches are just ravishing. What a fun fun project!
Oh interesting. Are they classic doors. We weren’t sure if they were just in this house. . I love them.
Absolutely stunning! Congratulations on the collabs. Your Italien home looks like a special place to be.
Just beautiful. Glorious colour and design.
Really gorgeous
Absolutely love what you have done here, using the inspiration from both around and in the house including the light ! Then with your impeccable design eye you have given it the unmistakable Kate WS feels. Congratulations you must be delighted.
Thank you so much. I have to say I’m thrilled with how it has turned out.
Oh no! I'd just made my mind up to have a very stern black and white scheme in my bathroom and you have completely thrown that into disarray!
These rooms are gorgeous and you have done brilliantly. Congratulations!
Love black and white. Add a coloured splashback from this collection and maybe paint the ceiling!
