About

The Meaning of Trait

Trait Interior Design and Décor’s core belief is that each interior should be focused on functionality, longevity and beauty. The name Trait itself means “of distinguishing quality or character” – which is what we strive to achieve in each and every unique project. Angela believes that each interior space needs to be functional whilst remaining aesthetically pleasing, and speak the same unique language as that of the client. Trait provides a turnkey service from the interior architecture of a space, to custom designed furniture pieces and the sourcing of finishing decorative items. We are honoured to have been involved in numerous home renovations and commercial projects including hotels and home rentals. We develop personal relationships with all of our clients, extending far beyond the conclusion of the project – which is what makes us unique to any other design house out there. We believe in the uniqueness of the client and their equally important space.

A Rare Find
Angela is a highly reliable, professional and creative interior decorator. Upon contacting her to furnish our holiday home, she replied promptly, meeting us soon thereafter and providing us with a detailed proposal. Throughout the process, she remained in touch, listening attentively to our requests, considering costing carefully and adapting her proposal based on our needs. Her service was exceptional, particularly considering the short time frame we gave her and that we reside overseas. We were delighted with the final product.

Cozy Individual Homes
Working with Angela was only a pleasure! Not only did she turn our newly renovated rooms into cozy, individual homes for our guests but she did so with passion and diligence that were extraordinary. Our guests are just as happy as we are with her work. On top of the wonderful outcome, working with Angela was at all times very constructive and super quick. We can highly recommend her for any project.
