凯特•休姆（Kate Hume）对室内设计的热情源于她一生对色彩的热爱和对所有由匠人手工制作的东西的尊重。色彩，光线和质感贯穿于Hume的所有项目，形成一种在不经意间散发出奢华感觉的独特风格。大胆的图案以丰富的基础色调表达。尽管色彩决定了她的设计方案，但从未喧宾夺主。

对Hume来说，没有错误的颜色，只有错误的搭配。休姆（Hume）无与伦比的设计方法偏爱手感舒适的材料，例如亚麻，草布，丝绸，黄麻和来源无可挑剔的普通布料。Hume更喜欢经典家具而不是崭新的家具，她毫不掩饰地将各种风格的家具摆在一起。

Kate Hume's passion for interiors stems from her lifelong love affair with color and her respect for anything artisanal. Color, light, and texture inform all of Hume's projects to create a distinctive style that is casually luxurious; bold patterns are expressed in rich, elemental hues. Though color drives her design schemes, it is never dominant.

For Hume there is no wrong color, only wrong combinations. Hume's inimitable approach to design favors tactile materials such as linen, grass cloth, silk, jute, and impeccably sourced homespun fabrics. Unabashedly mixing different furniture genres, Hume prefers vintage over brand-

new, considering for instance the best dining tables to look as if they've witnessed countless lunches and dinners.

That is why she and her husband and collaborator, Frans van der Heijden, design their own pieces from sandblasted wood and brushed timbers where signs of age already exist. Exquisitely employing beautifully crafted furniture, intriguing objects, engaging color schemes, and seductive, ambient lighting, Hume consistently demonstrates her mastery of eclectic, warm, and sophisticated design.
