You're ready to spend properly on this room. Refined Design finds the thread in what you're drawn to, then resolves the layout, colours, finishes, furniture and lighting around it, so you know what belongs before you start buying.
You've saved a hundred rooms that don't obviously belong to the same style. You already own one or two things you genuinely love. Now every new decision feels risky, because the wrong sofa, rug or light could stop those good choices working.
You don't want a room that looks like a catalogue.
And you don't want to spend properly and end up with something polished that still doesn't feel like you.
What you're after is a room so specific that somebody walks in and thinks, of course you live here.
The thread is already there in what you've saved. Finding it first, then making the decisions in the right order, is what turns it into one room.
A 60-minute online consultation to settle the direction and how the room needs to function.
One recommended space plan that solves layout, flow and the relationship between the key pieces.
One mood board carrying the colour palette, materials, furniture, decorative lighting and accessories.
A specification and shopping schedule, with purchase links where suitable products are available.
One rendered colour 2D room view, so you see how the principal pieces, colours and materials work together before buying.
A 45-minute design presentation, where I take you through the decisions and answer your questions.
One consolidated round of minor refinements, sent as a single list within 7 days of presentation.
Email support during the design process, and for two weeks after presentation while you start implementing.
The plan settles where everything sits and how the room works. The colour views show what it looks like once the materials, finishes and pieces are decided.
If you'd like to see the approved design in more realistic detail, you can add one photorealistic 3D visual, one view, based on the approved design direction. Additional views are quoted separately. The 3D is illustrative rather than technical, and isn't intended for construction or installation purposes.
You book, then send photographs, measurements, your completed brief and the references you keep returning to. Tell me what already belongs and what needs to stay.
A 60-minute consultation to settle what the room needs to do, how you want it to feel and where the current problems lie.
Space plan, mood board, colour and material direction, specification schedule and rendered 2D view, delivered within 10 working days.
We meet for 45 minutes and I take you through the completed room and the reasoning behind it.
One consolidated refinement plus two weeks of email support. Then the plan is yours to implement at your own pace.
I'm Nicolene Mausenbaum. I qualified as an interior designer in 1999.
Since then I've designed corporate offices, commercial, retail, hospitality, medical and residential spaces, mostly across South Africa, with projects in Australia and the UK. Single rooms through to full fit-outs.
Through Dezyna Interiors I take a small number of private clients each month, from a single key space through to a complete home.
I find the thread. Give me ten images you love and I'll look for what connects them. After 27 years of designing spaces, that pattern is easier for me to see than for the person who's been collecting them.
Refined Design takes that thread through the whole room: layout, colour, materials, furniture, lighting and the things you already own, resolved into one coherent design you can implement yourself.
"She understood our thinking immediately and brought the ideas we had to life. We love our office now. It's very 'us', even though it was designed by someone else."
"Nicolene was on point, paid great attention to detail and was happy to accommodate my wishes into the final plan. Her turnaround times were amazing, fantastic value for money. Thanks Dezyna for helping with my space, I absolutely love it!"
One room, fully designed. The layout, visual direction and principal choices made together, before you start spending on pieces that only almost work.
Your design arrives within 10 working days. The fee includes one consolidated round of refinements, so any tweaks are done before you buy a thing.
And if it turns out not to be what you needed, the fee goes toward another Dezyna service instead. One credit, used once.
Refined Design is a complete visual and spatial design direction for one room. It doesn't include technical construction drawings, electrical or plumbing design and specification, structural advice, detailed joinery or shop drawings, procurement, contractor coordination, project management, site supervision, multiple design concepts or unlimited revisions. Any new work or redos beyond the included round of refinements is quoted separately.
For international projects, product dimensions, electrical compatibility, installation requirements and local compliance must be confirmed with the relevant supplier, contractor or qualified professional before purchase or installation.
For a full home, a renovation or a new build, that's Signature Spaces. For one clear direction rather than the whole room, that's Insight & Inspiration.
