Interior Design Services

Joseph Avnon Interiors offers residential interior design and decoration for projects ranging from complete renovations to furnishing new homes and updating existing spaces. Every project is handled directly by interior designer Jonathan Avnon, who remains closely involved from the initial concept and design development through to sourcing, installation and final styling.

Interior Design & Decoration

For individual rooms or entire homes, the scope can range from decorating and furnishing an existing space to developing the full interior design for a new home or renovation. Each scheme reflects Jonathan’s design sensibility while responding to the architecture and character of the property and the way the space will be used.

Existing pieces can be incorporated where appropriate alongside new furniture, custom-made items, lighting, window treatments, artwork and accessories, with every element considered as part of the overall interior.

Renovations

Renovation projects are considered as a whole, allowing layouts, finishes, fittings and furnishings to work together from the outset. Jonathan remains closely involved throughout the design, procurement and installation stages, coordinating with trusted suppliers and tradespeople as required.

Holiday Home & Short-Stay Furnishing

For Cape Town holiday homes, investment apartments and short-stay properties, including Airbnb accommodation, furnishing and styling can be managed through one coordinated process. Owners based elsewhere can review design proposals and approve selections remotely, with regular progress updates provided throughout.

Interior Design Process

Each project follows a clear and considered process, from the first conversation and design development through to procurement, installation and final styling. Jonathan remains personally involved throughout.

Initial Conversation

The process begins with a short phone consultation to discuss the property, proposed scope of work, preferred style and anticipated budget. This helps establish whether the project is a suitable fit before arranging an on-site consultation.

On-Site Consultation

Jonathan visits the property to gain a better understanding of the space, your requirements and the direction for the project. The fee is R1,250 for properties within 10 kilometres of Cape Town CBD. Consultations outside this area are quoted according to travel distance.

If the project proceeds, the consultation fee is credited towards the design fee.

Design Direction

An initial design direction is then developed, supported by mood boards and a preliminary estimate of the overall project cost. This provides an opportunity to review the proposed look, scope and budget before deciding whether to proceed.

If you wish to retain the mood boards before formally proceeding, a separate fee applies. This amount is credited towards the design fee if the project goes ahead.

Project Confirmation and Planning

Once the design direction, proposed scope and estimated costs have been approved, the project is formally confirmed. Detailed selections, layouts, custom elements, quotations and the project programme are then finalised before orders are placed.

Procurement, Installation and Styling

Once all selections and quotations have been approved, furniture, finishes and custom-made items are ordered. Deliveries, suppliers and tradespeople are coordinated as required, followed by installation and final styling.

Project Timing

Interior decoration and furnishing projects that do not involve extensive construction generally take approximately 8–10 weeks, depending on the final scope and supplier lead times. Renovation timelines are determined according to the extent of the work required.
