Astrid believes that a space should do more than look good — it should feel right.
Astrid van der Heim has been immersed in the world of interiors for what she describes as “a lifetime.” With a career spanning decades, her work is shaped by a deep understanding of space, colour, and the people who live within it.
Her approach is intuitive yet intentional — rooted in the belief that great design begins with understanding her client. Every project is a collaboration, where personality, lifestyle, and story are translated into spaces that feel authentic and lived-in.
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.
Her work is known for:
Thoughtful use of colour to transform mood and light
A balance between drama and harmony
Spaces that are both expressive and functional
Attention to detail that brings everything together
As seen in her projects, Astrid has a unique ability to take a space back to its essence — and rebuild it into something lighter, brighter, and more meaningful.
