Lyn Cowie
I’ve found that when our bodies are well-nourished, we naturally glow from within. The same goes for our homes. By creating spaces that prioritise well-being, we transform ordinary living into extraordinary experiences. I believe that making thoughtful, healthier design choices can blend functionality, charm, and a touch of storytelling, giving our homes their unique character.
With a background in fashion, I have a deep appreciation for how design connects with people and places. I love exploring the diverse design principles that different cultures offer. Having grown up in South Africa, and lived on two other continents, these experiences have shaped my approach to creating spaces that feel both global and personal.
Design has always been woven into the fabric of my life. Back in the '90s, I built a small but conscious fashion brand, showcasing my own creations—some of which stood the test of time, with clients enjoying them for 15 years! In South Africa and the Middle East, I had the pleasure of working closely with clients as a personal stylist.
Whether in fashion or interiors, it’s about discovering the colours, textures, patterns, and style that bring comfort, depth and a touch of wonder. All without overwhelming the person or space.
For me, design isn’t only about meeting my clients' needs or expressing their personalities—it's also empowering them with earth-friendly choices. After all, looking, doing and feeling good are all interwoven. I bring all of this together through well placed furnishing and accessories, infused with my own eclectic touch.
For the past 30 years, I’ve been lucky enough to design many of our own family homes across the globe. Through these experiences, I’ve sharpened my natural sense of design and functionality, working hand-in-hand with architects and fellow designers on everything from new builds to extensive renovations and finishing touches.
Interior design feels like a natural extension of my commitment to caring for those around me. My passion for creating simplified, yet impactful, spaces comes from years of connecting with and supporting others—whether in fashion design, styling, health and lifestyle coaching.
In my leisure time I love spending time with family, whether they’re nearby or across the globe. No matter where I am, you can bet I'll be walking the streets in search of, not only art and aged treasures but also, the best coffee roasters and plant-based foods!
Praise
"My wife and I struggled to create a cohesive design due to our differing tastes, often buying furniture piece by piece.Hiring Lyn to bring our home together was the best decision. She selected pieces we’d never have chosen ourselves, and they came together beautifully—we wouldn’t change a thing.
Lyn’s professionalism and vision impressed us from the start. She was patient, flexible, and made the entire process feel collaborative. Everything was handled with care, and we’re thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Lyn for your next design project."
