Meet Lee Moon

Design has always been more than a profession for me — it’s a passion for creating spaces that reflect the people who live in them. With over three decades of experience, I offer guidance from the first idea to the final touches — whether it’s conceptual layouts, mood boards, or working alongside architects to bring plans to life.

My career has taken me across South Africa and beyond, working on private homes, lodges, hotels, and corporate spaces. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of serving as KwaZulu-Natal Chairperson and National PRO of the South African Guild of Interior Designers, and seeing my work featured in publications such as South African Garden & Home and SA Homeowner.

Every project is an opportunity to listen, to interpret, and to create something truly personal — a home that feels like your story made visible.

Since 1992

I have been dedicated to creating spaces that stand the test of time — elegant, meaningful, and true to the people who live in them. Our commitment has always been to listen deeply, design with integrity, and craft interiors that not only look beautiful but feel like home.

Over the years, this philosophy has remained unchanged: it is never about imposing a style, but about uncovering yours — and bringing it to life with creativity, expertise, and care.

Why Work With Me

Creative Clarity

Navigating finishes, fabrics, and layouts can feel overwhelming. I simplify the process, presenting you with clear, thoughtful choices that bring your vision into focus.

Attention to Detail

From the placement of a single chair to the way natural light fills a room, every detail is considered to ensure balance, harmony, and long-lasting appeal.

Trusted Network

Decades in the industry mean strong relationships with suppliers, artisans, and contractors — ensuring quality workmanship and access to materials you won’t easily find on your own.

My Process

Initial Consultation

We meet — either on site or at my office — to discuss your ideas, requirements, and budget. This is charged at an hourly consultation rate. During this time, I’ll share options, spark ideas, and explore the best way forward within your timeline.

Next Step

If you’re happy with the proposals, and depending on the scope of work, we’ll either arrange another meeting to review materials or I’ll prepare a detailed design proposal outlining fees. Once approved and fees are settled, the project begins.

Work in Progress

As the project unfolds, I’ll spend time on-site to monitor progress and keep you fully updated. I believe in collaboration, and love involving my clients in every stage — because this is when a project truly comes alive.

Basic Principles of
Interior Design

The principles of design are the foundation of every successful interior. Each one plays a role in shaping how a space feels and functions. On their own, they can create beauty, but when they work together in harmony, the result is far more powerful. A room feels balanced, inviting, and complete when these elements are thoughtfully combined. For me, these principles are more than theory — they are the framework I use in every project, guiding decisions both big and small. They ensure that each space I create isn’t just visually appealing, but also meaningful, enduring, and deeply connected to the people who live or work within it.

Colour

Colour is more than just being visually beautiful or appealing, it also influences the entire mood and feeling of the space that you are decorating.

Light

Superior lighting is essential to any space, whether its creator is natural, man-made, or a combination of both. When choosing lighting, we must think about factors like the colours of the light, the light intensity or whether the light should be dimmed.

Form

The visual shape or configuration of artwork, furniture, or other sculptures, and even the rooms themselves can take on natural and curvy or abstract and geometric angles that feature sharp, lines and edges.

Line

Lines can be up-and-down, side-to-side, or express motions, like zig-zags or curlicues, while vertical lines are expressive and bold, dynamic lines can follow their own set of rules, adding fun and exciting touches.

Pattern

Patterns are the intentional repetition of forms, lines, or other design elements. Patterns usually appear on wallpaper or fabrics, but can also pop up anywhere in the home. While patterns can add life and motion to rooms and spaces, too many clashing patterns can start to look chaotic, so we will need to tread lightly when choosing them.

Space

Space is the heart of every design or decorators decision. There are two basic types of space to consider, the length and width of a room, and the space which covers height. For example, the length and width of a room is important when thinking of carpets or rugs, and the height of a space shall need to be considered  before adding new shelving or furniture.

Texture

Texture is the way something feels. This can mean the way something feels to the touch, or the sense it gives when simply observing it. Careful consideration of texture is especially important in parts of the home that are contacted frequently, like flooring.

Every space tells a story — and I would be honoured to help bring yours to life. Whether you’re ready to start a new project or simply exploring ideas, I invite you to reach out. Let’s create spaces that not only work beautifully but feel deeply connected to who you are.

Design begins with understanding the people who live in a space, not just the walls and furniture.
