The Studio

We treat every room as a living floor plan.

Oryx and Ash Interiors is a Polokwane-based interior design firm working across Limpopo and the whole of South Africa. We plan how people move through a space, choose materials that last, and manage projects from the first sketch to the final build — always balancing structure with softness.

Material study — stone and linen

Material study · Travertine & Linen

01

Strength

Bold, structural layouts and durable, honest materials — the Oryx. Spaces engineered to endure the way you live and work.

02

Grace

Soft textures, refined finishes and fluid light — the Ash. The quiet sophistication that makes a room feel inevitable.

03

Stewardship

From concept to keys, we manage builders, contractors and compliance so your project lands on time and on brief.

The Consultation Blueprint

Seven disciplines, one unbroken build.

Every project moves through the same disciplined sequence — from the first measurement to the final fixture. Hover a discipline to see it take shape.

  • Space Planning

    01

    Floor plans and room flow drawn with intent — how you move, gather and rest, mapped before a single wall moves.

  • Material Selection

    02

    Safe, durable paints, flooring and finishes chosen for how they age, not just how they photograph.

  • Furnishing & Fixtures

    03

    Furniture, lighting and decor selected to fit the style and the budget — sourced and specified with discipline.

  • Technical Compliance

    04

    Designs held to local building codes and safety rules, so what we draw is what you may legally build.

  • Project Management

    05

    Builders, electricians and contractors hired, briefed and held to schedule — the work finished on time.

  • 3D Rendering

    06

    Photoreal renders that let you inhabit the design before construction begins — decisions made with certainty.

  • Consultation

    07

    A discovery conversation that turns a vague ambition into a clear, buildable brief and a realistic path.

Work With Michaela

From Idea to Build

A measured path from first sketch to final key.

I

Discovery

A consultation on site or remote. We listen to how you live, measure the space and define the brief, budget and timeline.

II

Concept & Space Plan

Floor plans, layouts and a material direction. 3D renders let you walk the design before anything is built.

III

Specification

Finishes, fixtures, furniture and lighting specified and priced. Compliance checked against local codes.

IV

Build & Project Management

We hire and brief the contractors, hold the schedule, and supervise from demolition to the final styling.
