Beat of my own 'Drum'


Design Team is a South African based fabric house with locally printed fabrics inspired by the colours, nature and people of our country. If ever I am having a dull moment, I turn to Design team for inspiration. These latest pieces came to life with the help of Design Team's Dolly, Beauty and Star of Jazz from the the BAHA Collection and the elegant Botanica print from D'Afrique Du Sud

New Be.You.ties

Bright colours, interesting texture and beautiful pattern can transform any drab piece of furniture into a work of art.


Locals only

So after spending a morning at the Old Biscuit Mill in Cape Town, i am feeling inspired and so grateful to be a designer in South Africa. We have such amazing local talent in our country. Make sure you check out REcreate and Vamp. Two of my favourite spots.

I 'heart' Retro

So Retro furniture are pieces which are dated from the 1950's - 1970's. Sleek, minimalistic lines, shiny metals and vibrant use of colour and pattern.

These pieces are sturdy, functional and well made. The retro fashion in general has returned in waves throughout the decades, being stronger now than ever.

Introducing The Retro Side. This is probably my favourite item in the collection at the moment.

Be.You.tiful Beginnings

My vision has come to fruition with the launch of Be.you.tiful furniture, fulfilling my passion for green living and achieving my goal to re-use and revamp beautiful old pieces that will merge tastefully into present day living spaces.
Bringing new life to furniture from a bygone era motivates me. I am inspired by the thrill of going in search of that special piece I can transform into a trendy but elegant item which will add a touch of style to a living or working environment.
As an Interior Designer, I am privileged to create unique spaces and establish functional environments that relate to my clients image and location.  The restoration of furniture through Be.you.tiful complements my fascination with design and all things exceptional. 
I aim to keep my range limited, varied and exclusive.  Each item is carefully chosen to ensure that purchasers acquire a select and distinctive piece of Be.you.tiful furniture.
Below is a sneak preview of what to expect.
