Testimonials

What our clients say...

"I appreciated Jane’s design knowledge, creative thinking and attention to detail. She applies her mind, does thorough research to present different alternatives within a given budget. I just loved how she started with my basic rustic furniture ,designed a stunning contemporary interior which synergised the two worlds so seamlessly to compliment the modern architecture of the house.

I’ll definitely recommend Jane, she went out of her way to give us value for our money and many compliments from everyone who comes to our home."
"We first decided to use an interior designer after accumulating furniture and ornaments from various house holds and relocations. We found Covet Design online and thought we would start with something small as a trial. Jane was professional and totally in tune with our vision – which is often hard to describe in words but what transpired was even better than we could have imagined. Unlike previous designers that can be forceful to their own ideas and creativity, Jane really listened and took to heart our personalities and tastes.

Hence to say, Jane has done many projects for us which includes our business offices in Tableview and Franschhoek, and most rooms in our home in Franschhoek, and on an ongoing basis.

We can highly recommend Jane."
"Covet Design handled the renovation and installation of our store, Made in Brasil in Green Point. We worked together to come up with a concept and design which we were all happy with.

The finished look was great and the job was completed efficiently and professionally. We were very happy overall."
"I called Jane from Covet Design to assist me with some finishing touches on my new house.I found Jane to be very professional and helpful from the beginning, she made a prompt appointment to view and chat to me about what I wanted and what was needed to complete the room.

We discussed what I liked and budget, and she got to work right away. Within a few weeks she had made up some scatters and bought all the ornaments needed to complete my wall units. She also helped me with having a custom art piece made, which was above and beyond the initial brief. We also had a custom desk/work area made which she designed, had made and installed. It is simply beautiful and I am blown away with the finish.

I would definitely recommend Covet Design for any project big or small. I will certainly be using their services again."

"We found Jane’s services online. Sifting through all the competitors, her portfolio spoke to our style the most. Our main problem was, we'd bought most of the major pieces of furniture for our living room (i.e. coffee table, couch) but we were struggling to bring it all together (carpet, cushions, ornaments and lamps). We could not visualise the entire picture and had buyer’s remorse.

Jane seriously aided us in bringing our living room to life. Her attributes are not just a keen eye for style and design, but she also poses the qualities of punctuality and professionalism. I know in the long run, using her actually saved us money, not to mention savings in time and effort. She really did find the items we were looking for at prices we couldn’t source.

Jane goes the extra mile - if you are not happy with a specific idea or item, she will find the right one for you. We were unsure of numerous items and she arranged them on appro so that we could actually see the complete product in our own home. This makes a significant difference for the laymen who can't always envision the finished product.

We will definitely use Jane again in the near future."

"I recently renovated my apartment and once completed, I found myself struggling to add all the final touches to it. The biggest challenge for me was to identify the theme and maximize space within the living room area while still maintaining the overall feel of the room.

I met Jane to help me with this and after meeting her for the initial consultation the process began. 2 weeks later I received a comprehensive brochure with great ideas, colour schemes and links to all different kinds of furniture and finishing’s. Although I have not yet completed all of it, I now have a plan to work towards.

The ideas are creative and functional and I’m looking forward to working with Jane in the future."

"When I looked for interior designers, Jane was the first one to reply to my queries. That was but a glimpse of the fantastic and professional way Jane handled our whole project. At our first meeting I gave Jane some ideas and pictures of what my vision for the rooms were and Jane went and designed the most beautiful space with all the best of my ideas.

As both myself and my fiancée are pilots, we are rarely home and certainly don’t have the time to go searching for furniture, paint colours etc. Jane proved so professional and helpful in working with our circumstances and accommodating us.

We had many meetings at our house, every time with new samples and new ideas if there was anything we wanted to change.To turn a house into a home is such an immensely personal experience and Jane did just that whilst exceeding all our expectations."
"Covet Design assisted me in the design and decoration of my house in Westbrook. The work Jane did suited my house both aesthetically and spatially using interesting and unconventional furniture such as floating desks and bed side tables. The results was great."
I contacted Jane after moving into an unfurnished two-bedroom apartment. My primary reason for contacting Jane was because I wanted assistance in choosing furniture that would remain elegant and timeless, enabling me to rent out the apartment in a few years time without having to spend more money buying modern furniture.

Jane’s reply was very prompt and she really had a good understanding of the look I wanted to achieve. I was very pleased with the plans Jane produced and the furniture she had picked out, keeping in mind my budget and taste.

Jane also provided fabric samples for curtains and I was more than pleased with the finished product. I was impressed overall by her efficient work and ability to really tune into what I was hoping to achieve. Thank you Jane, for everything!

A room should never allow the eye to settle in one place. It should smile at you and create fantasy.
