‘Our signature style embraces the use of multiple textures to create visual interest and depth.’

WHAT WE DO

We have two main areas of focus: Home & Business and under each we offer three packages.

REFRESH
A tired space

We refresh your space through decluttering, simple restyling, and making small changes like new storage solutions. We work with existing furniture and decor, adding a few key new pieces and plants and foliage.


Examples:

  • Staging your living room for a house sale

  • Sourcing & styling for a home office

  • Refreshing your Airbnb rental

  • Updating a client waiting room

  • A fresh pair of eyes on a space that feels dated.

    • Restyle

    • Moodboard

    • Spring clean

    • Sorting and decluttering

    • Get rid of unwanted goods by selling, donating, recycling 

  • The REFRESH budget starts at R20 000. However, this amount is dependent on the size and number of rooms, the amount of existing furniture we reuse and overall ambitions for the space

  • HOUSE Kloofnek

HOW WE WORK

  • Once you have reached out to us, we will send you a brief template to complete. This will give us a better idea of the scale of your project and your design style and ambitions for the space.

  • We will conduct a site visit to take measurements and discuss your vision for the space.

  • We charge R1500 (CBD & Southern Suburbs) for the initial face-to-face consultation, which usually lasts 1 - 1.5 hours. For projects further afield, travel costs will be added to this amount.

  • During this meeting we will establish the scope of the project and we will be able to give you an approximate idea of how far your budget (the total amount you would spend on the project) will stretch

  • If you decide to go proceed with the project we will then establish a timeframe and a list of priorities

  • We will then work with you to interpret your style (it helps if you have a Pinterest board or cut outs of what you like/how you want the space to feel) and provide you with mood boards (included in the Elevate & Reimagine packages) that build on what you’ve shared in the briefing template and through our discussions.

  • Once you have approved the design direction we will source the new items, and trades (if required) and arrange an install date.

  • 'Claire has transformed our cavernous house into something that feels so warm and homely. She has such vision and is incredibly talented at understanding the brief and bringing it to life. We loved that she upcycled some of the furniture which added character and made it feel unique to us. Claire is a lovely and warm person to work with, it was a pleasure to have her in our home.'

    Gaia, HOUSE Avignon

  • 'Thank you Claire for the beautiful space that you created for me when I decided to do a salon revamp to celebrate my businesses 10th birthday. You made the process so easy, and I love that I only saw the completed salon at the final reveal. It turned out just as we envisioned.'

     Peta, BUSINESS  Little Green Box Eco-friendly Salon

  • 'You did such a great job Claire! I absolutely love using the space since you have waved your magic wand'

    Deb, BUSINESS Holyrood Airbnb

  • 'I felt quite overwhelmed by the transformation you produced in my home and the evidence of the personal touch and care you took. Thank you seems such a small word but is meant from my heart.'

    Wendy, HOUSE Lake Michelle

  • ‘Living between Cape Town and the UK, it's incredible to have someone who can hold both the overall design and vision for my home, as well as the many practicalities of the project when I'm out of the country. Claire has such an incredible eye for design, materials and space and how to make it all work together. I love that Claire finds resourceful ways to furnish the space with antiques and second hand finds that work within my budget, add character to the space and have a lower impact on the environment.’

    Laura, BUSINESS Shoreham

  • 'I am absolutely thrilled to share the incredible experience we had working with Claire during the complete makeover of our aesthetic clinic. Her exceptional eye for design, combined with her unique ability to repurpose and reuse furniture, truly transformed our space into something extraordinary. Claire has an innate talent for capturing exactly what the client envisions, and the results have left everyone who has seen the transformation in absolute awe. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone looking to elevate their space with creativity and finesse'

    Maryke, BUSINESS The Best Laser & Skin

  • 'I have a lot of stuff. Claire managed to take some of my favourite things and breathe new life into them, whilst reimagining and creating beautiful spaces in our home.'
