About

I am a passionate designer with more than two decades of experience working on all aspects of a client's home or project. By creating realistic 3D rendered views of the overall kitchen, living, bathroom etc. spaces, I strive to achieve a fusion of creative and cross-functional spaces.

Kitchen & Interiors, Spatial Designer

Being driven to be an innovative designer, I do my best to bring customised design concepts to life in order to guarantee customer satisfaction.

I truly enjoy working alongside other designers and architects in my field to bring an entire project together, by placing as many elements into the design as possible, this gives the client the best idea as to the finished product.

Every space is different. I relish the challenge to make them timeless as well as meeting the client's aspirations. I use modern computer design programs to achieve this.

Skills

With roots in fine arts and marketing, I have been designing kitchens for several years in South Africa, London and Dubai. After I won the South African Caesarstone competition in 2012, 2014, and judging it in 2015, my career has gone from strength to strength, giving me the confidence to open my own design studio, where I strive to provide clients with their dream home.

Resume

Trends in kitchen design are never static. How designers interpret and integrate the kitchen into a home has evolved to such a point that we now see kitchens as show pieces to be enjoyed by family and friends.

Testimonials

Trevor King

Marketing Director - Caesarstone South Africa

I can unquestionably recommmend Beth without any doubt and would have no hesitation in employing her myself should the opportunity ever arise!

Stefan Marais

CEO, Optima Kitchens

Beth Haynes, an award-winning designer from Durban, assisted the Maletsatsi Foundation with the renovation of their baby rooms. Beth's designs were, as expected, inspiring and we immediately began working on the cabinetry, storage and finishings.

Colleen Pitchford

Colleen Pitchford Interiors

Beth is a pleasure to work with and is quick to grasp and interpret the vision I have for my client’s homes. Her spatial planning and attention to detail are second to none and I look forward to many more projects working alongside Beth.

Liza Clifford

Client

Beth is a highly professional and passionate designer. She considered all aspects of our renovation and designed something quite spectacular for our new kitchen. It made sense to use her for our bathroom renovation and we were blown away by the creative space she proposed. What I love about working with Beth is she got to know me and what I love and did what would fit in with my style and preferences which means we didn't need to revisit the design.

Tiffany Nadauld

Client

Beth was a breath of fresh air, she was super professional, creative yet practical and communicated so well so that at every stage I knew what to expect and where we were at.
