Question 1

What types of decorating services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Our decorating services include:
1. A consultation to restyle your existing home
2. A full interior decoration design and sourcing, including installation, either for your home or your investment property (Airbnb).
If you have some other request, let us know and we can see how we can accommodate you.

Question 2

How does the interior decorating process work?

Accepted Answer

Once you get in touch, I’ll send you a quick questionnaire to understand your needs, budget, timeline, and any inspiration you’ve gathered.

Next, we meet online (Zoom or Teams) for a face-to-face chat to get to know each other and talk through your ideas.

If you'd like to move forward, I’ll visit your property to take measurements and get a proper sense of the space. This site visit costs between R1500 and R2500, depending on the size and location of the property.

After that, we meet again (either online or in person) to discuss ideas, budget, and how we can bring your space to life.

Once you decide to go ahead, we agree on the design direction, payment structure, and installation timeline — and then the real fun begins.

Question 3

What kinds of styles do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Every project is unique, but we love a mix of mid-century, modern, Afro-inspired, and locally sourced design. We work with your taste, your space, and your lifestyle to create something personal and layered.

Question 4

How does a decorating consultation work?

Accepted Answer

A consultation is:
 • A 1-2 hour in-person visit to your home to discuss preferences, needs, and goals.
 • We offer suggestions for restyling your space, incorporating existing furniture and décor wherever possible.
 • We offer recommendations for new purchases to enhance the overall look and feel.
The fee for this consultation is R2000 - R2500, depending on the size of your property and the number of areas you want to restyle.

Following our meeting, you can opt for:
 • A detailed proposal/report summarizing what was discussed, with actionable suggestions.
 • Further work, such as sourcing items or choosing fabrics, is quoted separately.

Question 5

Can you work with furniture and pieces we already own?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We love working with what clients already have — whether it’s a beloved chair, inherited dining table, or a quirky artwork. We often blend existing items with new pieces to create a fresh, cohesive look.

Question 6

How long does the process take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the size of the project, lead times on furniture, (whether they are available or custom made) and how involved the brief is.

We’ll always give you a clear idea of timelines upfront.

Question 7

We want to decorate our Airbnb — can you help?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We’ve helped many Airbnb owners create stylish, guest-friendly spaces that photograph beautifully and attract great reviews.

We focus on durable, practical pieces that still look great — and we know what Cape Town visitors are looking for.

We prefer to work on projects that are not cookie cutter, in other words, as though the decor came out of a single retail store. We like to give our projects personality so that they stand out online. And of course, we are very detailed about guests' creature comforts.

Question 8

Do we need to have a big budget to work with you?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. We work on both luxury and mid-range projects. Once we understand your budget, we tailor the decorating plan accordingly — and we’re used to finding creative, cost-effective solutions.

Question 9

Can you help if we don’t live in Cape Town full-time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many of our clients live overseas or out of town. We communicate via Zoom or email, and manage everything on the ground , from sourcing to installation, keeping you updated throughout.

You can decide how involved in the process you want to be. Some people are more hands off; others want to be included in all decisions. Up to you.

We've worked with clients in Europe and  Canada, as well as local South Africans.
