In putting together the design of this dining room concept, my goal was to create a calm, grounded atmosphere layered with subtle warmth, while introducing a pop of energy through art, lighting, and seating. The oversized black-and-white artwork anchors the space with bold expression, complemented by the quiet elegance of herringbone floors, upholstered chairs, and the rich yet soft Cinnebar Limewash by Bauwerk, with its terracotta base and blush-pink overtone.

After exploring over 25 lighting and chair combinations, including striking black-and-white striped upholstery, I landed on this pairing for its balance of refinement and vibrancy. Everything nicely framed - wood above, wood below!

Lighting: Small LED Melt Chandelier by Tom Dixon

Chairs: Darlington Chenille Upholstered Arm Chair by Joss & Main

Wall Finish: Cinnebar Color Limewash by Bauwerk

Design:

The result is a dining room that feels serene yet dynamic, where every element is intentional and the details bring the design to life.

Cognac velvet sofas frame a bold black marble slab, grounded by warm herringbone oak. Overhead, a sculptural brass-and-white pendant floats like modern art, casting a golden glow that softens the symmetry. Every detail whispers calm sophistication — balanced, grounded, elevated.

Sofas: Paul McCobb Tufted, Russet Velvet in Auburn, Luca Velvet — CB2
Table: Enyo 55" Rectangular Black Marble Coffee Table — CB2

I’m about to start an exciting new design project featuring my absolute favorite style: European Glam—curated and eclectic. I was thrilled beyond words when I saw the client’s inspiration board. It’s everything I love and have been eager to create!

While Pinterest, Instagram, and the web are fantastic resources, Ai has truly revolutionized the way we conceptualize designs. These Ai renders really help to test out ideas in ways never before possible, even though Ai can sometimes create quirky elements in the images. Still, the overall vibe is spot-on and so inspiring.

This has me itching to revamp my own home now—time for a transformation!

I’ve been diving into curating two new bedroom projects, and it hit me — many people assume that a beautifully styled room comes with a sky-high price tag. Not true! Sure, with a larger budget, I can go all out with exclusive, high-end, custom designs. But trust me, creating a stunning, magazine-worthy bedroom on a lower to mid-range budget is totally possible. That’s where an interior designer who knows their stuff comes in!

I spend hours hunting down the best quality products, the ones with the highest reviews from real shoppers, at unbeatable prices. And the best part? You get my trade discount on everything — no markup here! That’s one of the perks of working with me. Both of these bedroom designs are under $6K each (we’re talking paint, drapes, rods, rugs, side tables, lighting, art — the whole package!).

When I design, I always take my client’s vision and add a touch of my own style. Ten years from now, I want someone to look at a room and say, “That’s a Willem Hendrik!” Bold, eclectic, full of stories, and loads of fun. Bedroom One is me, unleashed; Bedroom Two is me, but with the volume turned down a bit. I love them both!

Let’s create something amazing together for your next interior project. You’ll love the skills I bring and the unique visual magic we’ll create. And even though I’m working more locally these days, I can do all of this remotely, too!

Ready to make your space unforgettable? Let’s get started!

Etsy has indeed evolved from being a niche platform for arts and crafts to a leading source for 100% custom and unique furniture and decor. Whether you’re looking for handmade marble basins tailored to your design, unique brass lighting, oversized ceramics, or custom credenzas and side tables, Etsy offers an array of one-of-a-kind pieces. Despite sometimes slower international shipping, the money-back guarantee and return policies with the vendors I’ve worked with make it a reliable and worthwhile option for sourcing distinctive items.

I design how I dress. It's interesting to see how someone's home often reflects that. If I could, for the rest of my life, design and decorate only in black/white monochromatic with khaki, brown, ochre, and a mixture of raw velvet/wood/leather textures accented by brass and copper, I would gladly do so. Perhaps it's time to completely narrow down my services to only focus on this style. 😂 It's where my heart is and what makes me the happiest. Maybe it's the South African influence, especially growing up in the Kalahari.
