    - Roelof Rabe

  • We have come to know Studio Monochrome as a reliable asset to our professional team and can depend on them to always deliver quality work within the required timeframe.

    - Suzanne Burger

  • I would highly recommend Studio Monochrome to anyone who is looking to renovate or update the interior of their home. When we first met with Amoré she really listened to our needs, likes and dislikes and never once tried to force her own style in the process that followed. She then gently guided us every step of the way to find the things that would represent our own style and who we are as a family. I am in love with our new living room and can't stop smiling when I look at it!

    - Bettie Breytenbach

  • Amoré was involved in our extensive home renovation throughout the process: from conceptualising with the architect and giving invaluable input, to detailing the lighting layout, to floor and wall finishing. She respected our own ideas throughout, but elevated it to a level of sophistication. I did not think it was possible to have a home that is comfortable and family-friendly, but at the same time beautiful and magazine-worthy, but Studio Monochrome pulled it off!

    - Marietjie Smit

  • Their work and design is of a very high standard
