Rebecca Jansma is the Creative Director behind Rebecca Jansma Interior Design (RJID), a design studio renowned for transforming ordinary spaces into stunning, functional works of art. With over 12 years of experience, Rebecca expertly blends historical references, global aesthetics, and a deep appreciation for beauty in every project.

Tell us a little about yourself \u2013 how did you get into interior design?<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

I\u2019m<\/span> the head of a small, but mighty, interior design studio \u2013 and <\/span>believe it or not<\/span>, this is my third career. I started out with a degree in Medical Science, but after a few years in the field, I <\/span>realised<\/span> I was meant for something more creative. Fast forward 12 years, and interior design has become my true passion. <\/span>It\u2019s<\/span> the perfect blend of creativity and practicality, and I honestly <\/span>can\u2019t<\/span> imagine doing anything else.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s<\/span> your <\/span>favourite<\/span> part about being an interior designer?<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s<\/span> no such thing as a dull day in interior design \u2013 each day is a new adventure, and who <\/span>doesn\u2019t<\/span> love that? But the best part, <\/span>hands down<\/span>, is working with clients. <\/span>It\u2019s<\/span> an absolute <\/span>honour<\/span> to be trusted with such a personal project. Transforming their ideas into spaces that truly reflect who they are is the most rewarding part of what I do. I love bringing their vision to life.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your favourite room to design and why? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Without a doubt, the kitchen. It\u2019s the heart of the home, and it\u2019s such a hardworking space. I love to cook, so kitchens hold a special place in my heart. When designing kitchens, I focus on blending form and function, creating spaces that are not only beautiful but also efficient and inviting. A well-designed kitchen can bring a family closer, and I\u2019m a strong believer in that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

What are your current favourite trends in interior design? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re definitely seeing a shift toward organic, sustainable, and authentic materials. People are drawn to natural finishes that feel timeless, and I think that\u2019s incredible. There\u2019s also a rise in decorative details and finishes that give spaces so much personality. What I love about this trend is that it allows people to inject their unique style into their homes, making their spaces feel personal and truly theirs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your advice when clients are selecting hardware for their project?<\/span><\/h2>\n

When it comes to hardware, we always start by considering the style and finish as the main criteria. <\/span>But what\u2019s really important is that our clients genuinely love how the hardware feels.<\/span> After all, <\/span>they\u2019ll<\/span> be interacting with it every day<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We often call hardware \u2018jewellery for your home\u2019 because it\u2019s that final touch that pulls everything together. It\u2019s about finding the right balance between aesthetics, durability, and tactile pleasure.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your favourite piece from the Iver range and why? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a huge fan of the Osaka <\/a>range. I\u2019m a \u2018minimal maximalist\u2019 \u2013 I love clean, simple lines but also appreciate intricate details. The Osaka range strikes that perfect balance. Its timeless design, combined with the craftsmanship, adds depth and interest to any space. For me, this range brings life to a space \u2013 and that\u2019s exactly what I look for in hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featured Project: Arch & Scallop House<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

Rebecca\u2019s project, the <\/span>Arch & Scallop House<\/span><\/a>, is a prime example of her adventurous design spirit. Nestled near Bells Beach, this home is anything but ordinary. The design boldly combines striking forms, vibrant colours, and durable materials to create a space that\u2019s both functional and breathtaking.<\/span><\/p>\n

A key feature of the design is the carefully selected hardware. The Cali Cabinet Pull 256mm<\/a> and Osaka Cupboard Knob<\/a>, in Signature Brass, serve both form and function. Their contrasting shapes\u2014the linear pull and circular knob\u2014create a dynamic visual interplay that enhances the bold architectural elements of the home. The solid, forged brass construction is both reassuringly durable and refined, while the distinct finish complements the timber elements and deep tonal palette, tying the space together.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
