Testimonials

Designing a home is deeply personal, and the relationships we build with our clients are at the heart of every project. We approach each space with care, intention, and a commitment to creating interiors that feel both refined and genuinely lived-in.

Our clients trust us to guide meaningful home transformations and curate interiors that feel deeply personal. Here is what they have shared about their experience working with our studio.

“Working with Chantal Hambides Interiors was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They truly listened to how we live and what we wanted our home to feel like, not just how it should look. We especially loved how our own pieces were thoughtfully combined with vintage finds sourced from other countries and balanced with modern elements — nothing felt forced or overdone. The result is a home that feels layered, personal, and completely ‘us.’ Every detail was considered, and the process felt easy and collaborative. We couldn’t be happier.”
Jennings and Nicky Lyon (Greenville, S.C.)
Chantal’s design created a home that feels deeply connected to its surroundings. We loved how she incorporated local art and South African furnishings while remaining completely in tune with our open, indoor–outdoor living. Nothing felt imposed — her approach allowed light, nature, and flow to guide the space. Our home feels calm, authentic, and perfectly suited to the way we live. The result exceeded our expectations.”
Graham and Dimitra Hunter (Knysna, South Africa)
"Chantal guided us through every step of our home renovation with incredible care and expertise. From sourcing furniture to selecting paint colours, she helped us create a space perfectly suited to our growing family and our new baby girl. We trusted her completely with ordering, layout, and design decisions, and the whole process felt effortless because of her support. Our home now feels beautiful, functional, and truly ours — we couldn’t have done it without her.”
Jaco and Wian Smith-Venter (Amsterdam)
