About Kate La Motte
​I am an independent soft-furnishings consultant specialising in bespoke curtains, blinds and upholstery.

I have been working in this field since 2011, advising clients on what window treatments will work best for different rooms, window types and ways of living. Years of experience mean I can quickly assess a space and suggest practical, well-considered solutions. My work also includes advising on upholstery projects, from assessing whether re-covering is appropriate to helping select suitable fabrics and coordinating with specialist upholsterers. Once the right approach is established, I guide clients through fabric choices that work with their home, existing furniture and personal style, helping to narrow options so decisions feel manageable. I work closely with trusted makers and fitters, managing the process from accurate measuring through to fitting, so everything runs smoothly and reliably.
​
I also have experience supporting clients with specific practical requirements - including advising on solutions that improve ease of use, safety and independence at home - and I approach this work with the same care, discretion and attention to detail as any other project.
​
Before working in soft furnishings, I worked in television production and broadcast logistics. That background still shapes my organised, calm and solution-focused approach to managing projects.
​
Clients value my down-to-earth manner, clear guidance and practical judgement and often come to me through recommendation or repeat work.
How I work
​​
My approach is personal, practical and focused on finding the right solution for each setting.
I begin with a home consultation to understand the room, the windows and how the space is used. From there, I advise on the most appropriate window treatment, including manual or motorised options where ease of use or practicality are important. Once the direction is clear, the fun part starts with fabric selection. I have curated a beautiful library of fabric books and enjoy guiding clients through them, narrowing down the options to stop them feeling overwhelmed. I take care of measuring, specification, ordering and coordination with trusted makers and fitters, ensuring a well-managed process and a carefully finished result.
