With decades of experience in interior design and decorating, Astrid van der Heim creates spaces that are deeply personal, beautifully balanced, and effortlessly timeless.
Astrid’s work has been featured in leading South African publications, where her ability to transform spaces — sometimes with something as simple as colour — has been celebrated. Whether reimagining a compact apartment or crafting a bold, expressive home, her designs balance beauty with function.
She draws inspiration from both classical and contemporary influences, creating interiors that feel layered, emotional, and timeless.
Astrid believes that a space should do more than look good — it should feel right.
Astrid’s work is anything but one-dimensional.
Her interiors range from soft and serene to bold and expressive — often incorporating playful colour palettes, layered textures, and unexpected contrasts. In some projects, each room carries its own unique identity while still forming part of a cohesive whole.
