Interior Design Studio, Cape town

A Studio Built on Experience, Shaped by People

Echo Interiors has been designing interiors since 1996, growing into a trusted studio working across residential and commercial projects.

Our work is grounded in thoughtful design, long-term relationships, and a deep understanding of how people live and use their spaces.

Our Philosophy

We believe great interiors balance comfort, practicality, and beauty.

Each project is shaped by its surroundings…

… from the architecture and landscape to the lifestyle of the client, resulting in spaces that feel natural, refined and enduring.

Years of experience bring clarity to the process.
We know what works, what lasts, and where to focus.

Our role is to guide you through the process, simplifying decisions and creating a space that feels considered from beginning to end.

Your Team

Cannelle & Elize

Echo Interiors is shaped by the close working relationship between Cannelle Gazeau and Elize Sherratt, a mother-and-daughter team who bring both instinct and experience to every project.

Their process is personal, considered and quietly collaborative, with each space developing through conversation, trust and a clear understanding of how it needs to function in real life.

Their work is not about following a fixed style, but about creating spaces that feel settled, refined and true to the people who live in them. With a thoughtful eye for proportion, texture, comfort and detail, Cannelle and Elize bring each space together in a way that feels natural, layered and complete . Never overdone, and never disconnected from the life it is designed to hold.

Kind words from our clients

The Echo team helped us achieve a naturally inspired, locally sourced, purposeful, comfortable and welcoming home. They listened carefully, engaged with a playful yet organized spirit, and were excellent communicators throughout the entire design process. We accomplished an entire design process while our home was under construction over video calls halfway around the world. We admire and strongly recommend their curiosity and competence, which lead to outstanding results and a lasting relationship.

Rita & James

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Echo over the past eight years on a number of our properties, and they’ve truly been a joy to work with every step of the way. What stands out most to us is how naturally they understand our style and bring it to life in spaces that feel both beautiful and genuinely comfortable to live in. Their eye for detail is exceptional, they’re incredibly easy to work with, and they approach every project with a calm confidence that makes the whole process feel effortless. Echo has become someone we trust completely, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and thoughtful interior decorator.

Malinda & Anton

Testimonial: ECHO quickly synthesised a seemingly contradictory design brief, an eclectic 20-year collection of antiques, and already built structures, and transformed my new home into the beautiful, coherent, effortless, and calming oasis of which I had always dreamed. They have the right instincts, creativity, and ability to read their clients aspirations – combined with a breadth of relationships for custom items and vintage gems – to create spaces that leave me in awe even years after finishing. I learned to trust Elize and Cannelle’s ideas down to the last details and was never disappointed.

Chris

We are absolutely delighted with the work of this interior design and decoration company! The design of our new house was executed with exceptional style, great attention to detail, and a perfect understanding of our personal preferences. From the very first consultation to the final implementation, the entire process was professional, friendly, and highly reliable. The colours, materials, and furniture were beautifully coordinated, creating a warm, elegant, and modern atmosphere where we feel comfortable every single day. We can highly recommend Elize and Cannelle to anyone who values quality, creativity, and a truly personal touch!
