DALLAPE CHANT is the venture of Kathryn Hooper and this is her story.

As an independent interior designer Kathryn’s studio covers interior design, colour concepts, decoration, product sourcing and styling. Passionate about using contemporary, independent and emerging designers, she loves to create spaces that are classic and aesthetically beautiful yet are relaxed and easy to live in.

For Kathryn, working as an interior designer is very much a collaborative process. Moving into other design areas including theatre production, set design and shop-front window design gives her a creative outlet to explore beyond the traditional interior. Developing a greater spatial awareness, honing creative problem solving skills and pushing creative boundaries, these skills translate back into her interiors.

Kathryn is an Associate Member of the Design Institute of Australia.

Dallape Chant is a nod to two significant women in her life – grandmothers Palma Lucy and Doreen Lillian.
