Carin is lovely and she does beautiful work with the team she works with. I couldn't be happier.
Lisa and Keith O'Reilly
We couldn't be happier with the incredible work CS Design did on our home! From the interior to the exterior, every detail was thoughtfully designed, reflecting both style and functionality.
Carin and Des had fantastic ideas and truly listened to our preferences, while offering creative suggestions we hadn’t considered.
Working with Carin was an absolute pleasure—professional, communicative, and always open to feedback. The project stayed within budget without sacrificing quality, and the end result is nothing short of stunning. Our home feels completely transformed, and we constantly receive compliments on the beautiful design.
If you're looking for a talented designer who is easy to work with and delivers outstanding results, we highly recommend CS Design!

Allen Swiegers
CS Design assisted us with a major revamp at our house; floors, bathroom, kitchen, shutters and bedrooms. The design was spot on and the suppliers were brilliant.
Carin has access to fantastic suppliers especially a brilliant cupboard team (kitchen, bathroom and dressing room), builders, painters, shutter installers, upholsters and flooring experts.
We are very satisfied with the final result.

Aloysius Murphy
A superlative approach from all aspects of this boutique hotel project.
CS Design provided a hands on approach from the get go which in this case was from the ground up through to concept and bespoke design with an impressive research team that were guided every step with a hands on experience and approach.
Our group were mostly impressed with the 3D rendering that was delivered within days of our first project meeting.
The thinking ahead and planning really saved the budget long term .
As a group we are incredibly satisfied and our future group projects have been
Solidified with Carinshardelow@me.com and her
CS Design team .

I am absolutely thrilled with the work that CS Design did on my luxury apartment in Sandton! From start to finish, the experience was flawless.
Carin took the time to understand my vision and translated it into a beautiful, sophisticated, and functional space. Every detail, from the color palette to the furniture selection, was carefully curated to create a seamless flow throughout my home.
The full installation was done with impeccable precision, and the quality of the finishes speaks for itself. I am especially impressed with the way the designer blended modern elegance with a touch of warmth, making the apartment feel both luxurious and inviting. The space feels like a true reflection of my personality, and I couldn’t be happier with the end result.
The team was professional, efficient, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire process. Communication was always clear, and they made sure every aspect of the project was completed to perfection and within budget.
I highly recommend CS Design to anyone looking for a talented, creative, and reliable interior designer. They truly exceeded my expectations, and I am beyond pleased with the transformation of my home. Thank you for making my dream apartment a reality! Cape Town next!

Was contacted and appointment made. He then canceled 5 min prior to the appointment time and wanted to move the appointment for the next day, which we confirmed but he never reverted back for the kitchen design.

Funny we communicated and I even Had a thank you from you for referring my supplier direct as a favor All I can do is pass on details not responsible for if you are using him or not and as an interior designer i dont have to do that at all Really not being fair
