“Renée is a brilliant designer who is quite capable in every respect, whether that be negotiating with upscale antique dealers on the price of furnishings, selecting fine linens, or getting down in the dirt (literally) to show an interior plasterer the correct amount of soil to blend with the plaster to give the walls their distinctive hue. In addition to being a professional in her field and an expert on the interior design of castles, you will also find Renée to be kind, graceful and deeply caring.”
Vince Graham,
Founder of I’On Group
“Renée’s interiors exude a comfortable and liveable atmosphere. They complement the architecture and the lives of the people who use them.”

Renée presented at the Traditional Architecture Group Talk April, 2022.
“I was astounded when I first walked into Mugdock Castle. The interior was totally unique – cozy in some rooms, spare and gorgeous in others, everywhere very chic, and almost fairyland like, from another world but so beautiful that I wished I could buy yet another house and start with Renée.”
Suzanne Pollak, author, design connoisseur and founder of Charleston Academy of Domestic Pursuits.
“We received an excellent and very personalised service from Studio Killian-Dawson. Renee took time to understand the character of our home, and taking account of our style and preferences, came up with some excellent and original suggestions to enhance our living space.
“I liked the fact that local craftsmen were used and with a large range of skills available this meant that the different aspects of the work (e.g. carpentry, decorating, carpet and curtain fitting) could be seamlessly co-ordinated.
“Any problems were addressed and resolved quickly. Even some small changes, just adding extra colour with cushions and lampshades, made a great difference. We are delighted with the results and would not hesitate to recommend Studio Killian-Dawson.”
Kate & Andrew, Clients
“For Renée Killian-Dawson, one of the greatest sources of satisfaction and joy as an interior designer comes from the opportunity to make things, to conjure something from the ether and reshape what was once only an idea into a real and useful object of beauty.”
