Working with Giava Interiors was an exceptional experience from start to finish. We needed an office space that reflected our brand and supported both collaboration and focus—and they delivered on every level. The space is beautifully layered, thoughtfully planned, and completely functional. Our clients are impressed the moment they walk in, and our team genuinely enjoys coming to work. Giava captured the essence of who we are and turned it into a physical space that sets us apart in our industry. Professional, detail-oriented, and a pleasure to work with. More...

Giava Interiors completely transformed our home. From the very first consultation, they understood our style, needs, and how we live as a family. The end result is more than we ever imagined-elegant, functional, and so uniquely us. Every detail was considered, from the lighting to the layered textures and custom furniture. The process was smooth, the team was professional and warm, and the final reveal brought happy tears! We now have a home that feels luxurious yet lived-in, and we get compliments from everyone who visits! Highly recommended! More...

DIgirls make the most beautiful cushions. They use superb fabrics and the craftsmanship is out of this world. I bought the Ardmore Thanda Nest collection and couldn't be happier. The best is that DIYgirls do the thinking and styling - no need to wrack my brain trying to put the right colours and patterns together. Thank you DIYgirls♥️ More...

I first purchased from DIY Girl in 2021, and the service was absolutely impeccable from the start. They made me feel truly valued as a customer. Vinette was incredibly helpful, guiding me in selecting the perfect scatter cushions for both my living room and bedroom. Over the years, I’ve built a wonderful relationship with the DIY Girl team, and they’ve been a constant source of inspiration. In fact, their support and creativity inspired me to launch my own interior decoration business. One of the highlights of my experience was when they named an armchair after me – ‘The Edwina.’ I was so proud! If that isn’t a mark of customer satisfaction, I don’t know what is. The quality of the products is consistently outstanding, and I can’t recommend them enough. Love Edwina More...

I can't recommend Vinette from DIY Girls enough! In 2022, Vinette helped me reimagine and redecorate my lounge, and I absolutely loved the results. Her expert design knowledge and eye for detail completely transformed the space. When I decided to sell my house, I was amazed to receive two offers on the very first day. I have no doubt that the beautiful decor, thanks to Vinette, played a huge role in that. Vinette is not only incredibly talented but also kind and genuinely helpful. When my daughter decided to move into her own place, we immediately turned to Vinette for help designing a leather headboard. My daughter is in love with it – it's just perfect! I wouldn't consider using any other designer but Vinette. Her work is top-notch, and she truly knows how to bring a vision to life. More...

What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about my work is seeing how a thoughtfully designed space can transform not just a room, but the way people feel in it. It’s incredibly fulfilling to take a client’s vision—even if it’s just a feeling or a vague idea—and turn it into something tangible, beautiful, and deeply personal. Every project is a new story, a new challenge, and an opportunity to create something meaningful that enhances the way our clients live, work, or relax. That moment when a client walks into their finished space and feels instantly at home—that’s why I do what I do.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Giava Interiors was born from a deep love for design and a desire to create spaces that are both beautiful and meaningful. I started the business to offer clients more than just décor—I wanted to deliver thoughtfully designed interiors that reflect their story, lifestyle, and values. I was also inspired by the opportunity to uplift local artisans and build a business that celebrates craftsmanship, community, and creativity. Every project is a chance to make someone feel truly at home, and that’s what continues to drive our work every day.
Why should our clients choose you?
At Giava Interiors, we believe great design is personal. Clients choose us because we take the time to understand their vision, lifestyle, and needs—then transform that into a beautifully layered space that feels both luxurious and lived-in. We offer a full-service experience with expert guidance, custom design solutions, and an unwavering eye for detail. Our work is intentional, timeless, and tailored—never cookie-cutter. From residential refreshes to boutique hospitality and commercial interiors, we design spaces that are as functional as they are breathtaking. With us, it’s not just about style—it’s about how you want to live.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, we offer professional online and remote interior design services. Our virtual consultations are ideal for clients based outside Gauteng or those who prefer a more flexible, budget-friendly approach. Through video calls, digital mood boards, floor plans, and curated shopping lists, we guide you step-by-step in transforming your space—wherever you are.
