Sam Heynes

Private client

I called on Sonia from Sonia Hayes Interiors to assist me in my TV Lounge, from the first meeting, to the presentation of the concept I knew I was in good hands. It is worth contacting an interior designer as you can make expensive mistakes, she is professional but on the other hand relaxed and makes you feel special and becomes your friend as you go along the journey. I LOVE LOVE my lounge and feel blessed that I was guided and opened up to different ideas.”my lounge is now my happy place surrounded by beautifully selected fabrics and items of interest. Thank you Sonia!!!

Patricia Caldwell

Private client in Hilton.

Sonia transformed our home to one we are now proud of and love. The colours and choice of funiture and materials all worked so well together. She is professional, innovative and creative with an excellent eye for detail and quality. Sonia brings with her an infectious passion and excitement. She has a high work ethic and reliability and is such a pleasure to work with.

Cheryne Scott

Private client in Howick.

Sonia recently decorated my home. Her colour co-ordination was out of this world and she seemed to know just what style and colours would suit me. She also did some purchasing of Persian carpets afterwards for me at no personal gain. Her bubbly nature was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her as a designer.

Tracey Wilhelm

Sonia is the best designer. I have worked with Sonia for the past 15 years. I am very happy. And I have had the most amazing results. Sonia always goes the extra mile for me and I  would recommend her for sure.

Carol and her husband run a successful provincial business from their home and relocated to a Spanish style mansion in Hilton.
