For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be creative and make things look pretty. I was forever changing my bedroom around as a little girl. To this day I love moving my furniture and accessories in order to change the look and feel of my house.

I have obtained the following degrees at RAU – BA (Com) BA Hons (Soc) MA (Soc). But it was during my studies at the Calder school of Interior Design in Saxonworld, that I found my true calling.

I started Red Poppies Interiors at the beginning of 1999 and never looked back since. I am passionate about creating beautiful living spaces. When I look at nature, I am inspired by all the beautiful colours and textures, and how effortlessly they blend and work together. Just look at a handful of shells and you will know what I mean.

In 2004 I married my husband Morne Janse van Rensburg. We were blessed with a son, Luka, in September 2011.  It was always our dream to live closer to nature and give our son the opportunity to experience going to school, bare foot, in the country.  In December 2017 we moved from Johannesburg to the beautiful town of Oudtshoorn.

Robin’s Nest interiors was an established décor business in Oudtshoorn when it came across our path in early 2018. We took over the business at the end of April 2018.  In September 2020, I decided to rebrand as Red Poppies Interiors again, returning to my original name and inspiration for my business.

I am looking forward in meeting you and helping you create your dream living space.

Light and blessings.
