“Close your eyes and tap your heels together three times.
And think to yourself, there’s no place like home”
(The Wizard of Oz)
/ Who I am
A couple of years ago I started to research our family tree and found many interesting, creative ancestors. There was one who could create shadow figures from a piece of paper with a single cut; there was a furniture manufacturer in Berlin, a lamp factory owner in France, a chocolate producer in Argentina. My grandfather on my father’s side was a furniture carpenter; my grandfather on my mother’s side made shoe uppers; and both of my grandmothers were seamstresses.
When I was a child everybody was creating something around me. It was inevitable that it would stick to me as well. I’ve always liked to make, knit, crochet, batik, sew, or even make bonbons. I enjoy every phase of creation, from concept to design, through to implementation. I appreciate self-made objects a lot, and I make whatever I can myself, whether it is a gift, a birthday cake or a loaf of bread.
Today, I create interiors, too. I love to design – I could do that day and night. When I’m not making designs I’m looking for new, practical solutions, new fabrics and materials; I’m reading different websites, checking the latest trends, going to exhibitions or product launches and visiting factories. During my travels I like to take photos of all kinds of beauty, observe squares and buildings. These impulses and inspirations come up at the right moment of my design work.
I prefer to avoid home decoration clichés; if possible, I bring solutions that are different from the usual ones. I strive to use surprising design elements, come up with something special everywhere, even if it’s just a tiny detail.
/ Planning
1
Discover & Needs Assessment
At our initial on-site meeting I strive to understand my client’s needs and the design task. After careful consideration of the task, I prepare a quote. Once we agree, another personal meeting follows, when we discuss all the aspects and requirements that should be considered during my design work. The more details we can discuss about lifestyle, daily habits and preferences that are important for space planning, the more custom-fitted the spaces will be that I can create.
2
Space planning and design schemes
Based on the on-site survey, I create a scaled floorplan that shows the initial status. Then, based on the discussed aspects and requirements, I create design schemes to showcase possible layout ideas. These schemes are illustrated with coloured space elements. I make as many design schemes as I need to make the final design. Based on ongoing consultations, the final layout and functions are developed.
3
Style and atmosphere
I work on the details of the final design plan. I create colourful visual plans for each room to show their most important characteristics. I suggest floorings, furniture,
home furnishings, lighting, and I present them on photorealistic visual designs. In order to illustrate the colour scheme and style, I assemble a design montage, which facilitates the selection of furnishings and decorative elements.
4
Implementation plans & documentation
I prepare the implementation plans so that the various specialists can construct the planned spaces:
- Wall demolition, construction
- Lighting plan (placement of lamps, switches, sockets, electrical outlets)
- Furniture plans
- Floorings
If needed, I request quotes from each specialist and put together a cost estimate for the entire implementation project.
5
Implementation & details
I follow the implementation of the plan and contribute to the acquisition of furniture, furnishings and floorings. I design unique decoration elements, have them manufactured or take part in their preparation. I constantly consult with construction specialists. I pay great attention to details, to each design element. I am actively involved in the implementation process until the final touches.

Privacy
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and process your personal data, whether we provide you with professional assistance or you are browsing our www.drimmerkatig.hu website.
The security of your information is important to us and we are committed to protecting your privacy rights.
For the purposes of the applicable data protection regulations (including, but not limited to, the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (the “GDPR”), the Data Controller responsible for your personal data is: Katalin Drimmer e.v. (hereinafter referred to as the “Data Controller” or “Service Provider”). Registered office and mailing address: 2151 Fót, Kazinczy utca 68., tax number: 77536549-1-33, email: info@drimmerkati.hu, phone number: +36 30 59 60 928
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time, so please visit this page to stay up to date as we will post any changes here.
What personal data do we collect and how do we use it?
In order to be able to offer you the most appropriate service tailored to you, we primarily need your contact details so that we can contact you. To do this, we only ask for information that we really need, such as your name, email address, phone number. You can provide us with this information using the contact form available on our website.
The personal data provided to us is not verified, the user (you) is responsible for its authenticity.
If we enter into a contract, we also need additional information to ensure smooth cooperation. For example, we need your home address, perhaps your company details (if we enter into a contract in this way), or bank account details if we pay for services you provide (if this is part of our contract/agreement).
We will only use the personal data you provide to us for the purpose for which we have asked you to, for example, to be able to reach you (by phone or email), to enter into a contract or to provide you with the service that best suits your needs.
We collect a limited amount of data about website users to improve the user experience of the website and to help us manage the services we provide. This includes information such as how you use our website, how often you visit our website and the times when our website is most popular. If you contact us through the website, for example by filling out a contact form, we will collect any information you provide, such as your name and contact details.
Who do we share your personal data with?
Where necessary, we will share your personal data with our own staff (also listed on our website) so that we can contact you with a colleague who is most experienced in the area in which you need help. Your personal data will only be disclosed to third parties after prior consultation with you.
How do we protect your personal data?
Data protection is important to us. Therefore, we take the necessary measures to prevent unauthorized access to and misuse of data.
How long do we keep your personal data?
If we have not had any meaningful relationship with you (or, as the case may be, with the company you work for or with) for 6 months, we will delete your personal data from our system unless we believe in good faith that we are required by law or other regulation to retain it (for example, because of our obligations to tax authorities or any anticipated disputes).
How can you access, amend or withdraw the personal data you have provided?
You still have different rights in relation to your personal data even if we already store it. If you have any questions about these, please contact us via email or phone on the website. We will try to answer your question as soon as possible. Please note that we may retain your messages to help resolve any issues you raise.
If we have obtained your consent to process certain personal data for certain activities (e.g. we have provided you with an offer for a service) or your consent to carry out marketing activities for you, you can withdraw this consent at any time.
You have the right to request information from us about the information we hold about you at any given time, and you can ask us to amend, update or delete that information. We may then comply with your request or do one of the following:
a/ we may ask you to confirm your identity or ask you for additional information about your request, and
b/ If we have the right to do so, we may refuse your request, but we will explain the reasons for our decision.
In certain situations (for example, if we have processed your data without authorisation), you have the right to ask us to “delete” your personal data. We will respond to your request within 30 days (although we may extend this period in some cases) and we will only dispute your request if certain limited conditions are met. If we accept your request, we will delete your data, but we will generally assume that you would like your name to be added to the list of people who do not want us to contact you. This allows us to minimize the chances of contacting you in the future and collecting your data independently of the past. If you prefer us not to do so, feel free to let us know.
If your interests or needs change, you can unsubscribe from some or all of our marketing content (e.g. our newsletter) by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails or by requesting this from us in a separate email.
Legal bases for processing data
Legal interests
Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR applies here – according to this clause, we may process your data if “the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by [us] or by a third party, unless such interests are overridden by [your] interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data”.
We want to ensure that we offer you the best services, so we store your personal data and/or the personal data of individual contact persons in your organisation, and we may also keep a record of conversations and meetings. We believe that this activity helps us to provide you with a more personalized, efficient service. However, under the above legislation, you have the right to object to how we process your personal data.
Consent
In certain circumstances, we are required to obtain your consent to process your personal data in connection with certain activities. Depending on what exactly we use your data for, we will ask for your consent with consent or implied consent.
Article 4(11) of the GDPR states that consent is “a freely given, specific, well-informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she indicates, by a statement or by an unambiguous affirmative act, that he or she consents to the processing of personal data concerning him/her”.
Simply put, this means that:
- you must give your consent of your own free will without us putting any type of pressure on you;
- you need to be aware of what you are contributing to – so we need to make sure that we provide you with enough information;
- provide you with the opportunity to choose which processing activities you consent to and which you do not consent to (you can send us instructions to do so by email).
In some cases, we may also rely on implied consent. For example, we have the right to send you an e-mail confirmation of your inquiry via our website, in which we will link you to where you can find this Privacy Policy. In addition, we have the right to offer you products or services that are related to our services (e.g. newsletter) until you actively unsubscribe from these communications.
Establishing, exercising or defending legal claims
Occasionally, in connection with the exercise or defense of legal claims, we may need to process personal data and, where applicable, sensitive personal data in accordance with local laws and requirements. Article 9(2)(f) of the GDPR allows this if the processing is “necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or when the courts are acting in their judicial capacity”.
This may arise, for example, if we need legal advice in connection with court proceedings or if the law requires us to retain or pass on certain information during legal proceedings.
