Analise De Beer's Design in a Box concept

Everyone deserves to live or work in a beautiful and functional space they love. I enjoy creating spaces that achieve exactly that. What challenges me most about interior design and interior brand architecture is to push the bubble, explore ultimate creativity and energise people through holistic design, whether for residential or commercial clients.

Nature inspires me and my design approach, so I would like to think that my style is shaped by the colours of the landscape, textures of the earth and the beauty of what grows above the ground (even roots create strong design foundations).

We are very privileged to be involved in the redesigning and revamping of a beautiful, historic wine estate, including the operational as well as hospitality side of the business. It is super exciting to create different customer journeys that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also a magical client experience.

Choose a neutral colour palette that is timeless and calming. Introduce a selection of trendy colours with furniture, accessories and art that can easily be changed or rearranged. Painting a feature wall or a furniture piece is a cost-effective way to make things look fresh and new. Lighting plays a vital part in a room, creating mood and ambience. It also enhances features in the room and frames the placement of special items.

The Bentley Sofa in Old Gold or Blue. A great combination of contemporary lines with classical detail resulted in a balanced and charming piece, which is also well-priced.

Only buy a furniture piece if you absolutely love it, it should be a must have - because you won’t get tired of it in the long run.
