Kate Hewitt Biography – Kate Hewitt Wiki
Kate Hewitt is a British interior designer, interiors content creator and a DIY advocate. Kate, a contestant on the BBC’s Great British Menu 2026, champions empowering women to create beautiful interiors on a budget. She is the founder of Our Bears Home, an Interiors business showcasing budget DIY, IKEA hacks and real home tutorials.
A former recruiter turned interiors content creator, Kate shares affordable, high-end-inspired design through her renovated family home. Known for inventive upcycling and practical hacks, she proves stylish, luxe spaces don’t require a big spend.
She told the BBC: “I’ve always loved interior design, but as I got older, I realised it didn’t always feel accessible. When I was renovating my home, I’d save images I loved, get quotes and realise I just couldn’t afford to achieve that look. Instead of giving up, I started learning DIY and finding clever ways to recreate those spaces on a budget. That’s really where my journey began.”

Interior Design Masters 2026
Birmingham-based DIY advocate Kate Hewitt is a contestant on Series 7 of Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr on BBC One. The series is presented by comedian Alan Carr, with interiors expert Michelle Ogundehin as head judge, joined each week by a roster of guest judges.
Speaking about her main motivation in applying to be part of Interior Design Masters, Kate said: “I’ve always loved transforming spaces, but I came into design through DIY, not a traditional route. Applying felt like a chance to prove that you don’t need to follow the “typical” path to be creative or capable. My mission is to show people that creating a beautiful home is possible, no matter your budget or experience.”
Kate said viewers can expect “bold ideas, big risks and a lot of personality” from this series. She added: “Every designer brings something completely different, so no two spaces feel the same. There are beautiful designs, plenty of fun, and definitely a bit of drama along the way. It’s creative and high pressure at times, but that’s what makes it feel so real and exciting!”
