Hi, I'm Cate Marie. Principal Designer and founder of Cate Marie Interiors.

I've been obsessed with how spaces feel since I was five years old, when I talked my parents into letting me pick out my bedspread. I chose pink fuzzy roses. No regrets.

That lifelong instinct is now the work I was always meant to do. And what I do is design interiors translated from the inside out.

My marketing and strategy background means I bring more than an eye to every project. I bring a process. Seven stages. Zero surprises (unless they are GOOD design surprises).

The result is a home with renewed energy, soul, and sophistication. Every single day.

I believe home should be where you return to yourself. And great design starts with great questions. Before I ever suggest a finish or pull a fabric, I want to know how you actually live.

What lights you up. How your mornings feel. What you've always wanted your home to be but never quite found the words for. That discovery is what transforms a good-looking room into one that feels inevitably yours, like it was always meant to be.

My work spans the Columbia River corridor: Portland, Lake Oswego, Vancouver, Ridgefield, Camas, and out to the coastal towns. Recent projects include a loft bedroom suite in deep moody blue, a kitchen renovation where new stone, light, and layered accents completely shift the energy, and a guestroom-turned-playroom that sat unused for years and is now a family's favorite space. All designed with intention to bring renewed energy, soul and sophistication home.

I've called the Pacific Northwest home for 20+ years, and I travel whenever I can. Japan and Ireland are next. It keeps my eye fresh, my perspective wide, and my curiosity alive.

Your home has more to give. Let's find it together.

Your design ally, Cate
