The 7 Elements of Urban Lark Design Excellence

  • Function is necessary, but without form, function becomes utilitarian.

  • Challenge ubiquitous marketing that tells you what your home should look like.

  • And sparks conversation.

  • As well as its humanity and lived-in warmth.

  • Lif evolves imperfectly, and so should the way we think about design – embracing this fluid imperfection is where beauty finds its pulse.

  • Projects don’t have to be time-consuming or large-scale to exceed what you’ve envisioned.

    Interior designer Kat at Urban Lark did an incredible job updating a rental condo I was getting ready to put on the market. Kat is a true professional who understands trends but also knows how to personalize spaces and bring unique touches to a space. Kat chose the perfect paint colors, sourced fabulous contemporary light fixtures, and transformed the kitchen cabinets with a cost-effective sage-hued lacquer and modern hardware. She also brought in beautiful accessories that added warmth and interest to the unit. The results were impressive, with an offer coming in at asking price after the property had been on the market for only two days.

    Kat was able to provide us with effective practical and meaningful steps that allowed us to present our property in the strongest possible light. She creatively weaved her recommendations for paint color and furniture placement with more Eastern design principles. Within the week we implemented her suggestions and within seven days were successful. I’m so very happy I reached out to her and would strongly recommend her services!

    Kat did an excellent job transforming my 2 bed city condo into a functional, comfortable, and stylish space. She first assessed my unit to see how to best make use of the space, in terms of furniture placement and what I envisioned for my home. I loved her friendly and collaborative approach sourcing pieces from Marketplace and local antique stores and sellers. She has great instincts on what pieces blend well together, not to mention her deep design expertise and feng shui knowledge. I’m super proud of how my place came together and love having guests over. People always compliment my space. I’d highly recommend working with Kat - she blends creativity and functionality while embodying the character of your home so it feels both unique and true to you.

    Kat supported me in moving from a country home to an urban highrise. The move was very hard at first. I felt ungrounded and disoriented. I am highly sensitive and work from home, and so I needed solutions not only for myself but also to be effective at my work. Every time I implemented Kat’s suggestions - from moving furniture to adding plants, from swapping out furniture to incorporating meaningful art - the energy of the space shifted and felt so much better. With her intuitive magic, I began to experience feelings of ease, heightened creativity, and increased prosperity in my business! Even my cat became happier and more at home!
