Lara Fourie – owner and lead designer
As a full-service interior design company, The Goodspace handles everything from architectural finishes to soft furnishings, guiding you through every decision with expertise and care.
What legacy would you like to leave in the industry?
I want to be remembered for building something bigger than just beautiful spaces. I hope The Goodspace leaves behind a legacy of collaboration, integrity and genuine care for clients, suppliers and the people who work alongside me. I want to show that you can run a successful business with both professionalism and heart.
How do you celebrate other women in the home industry?
By making space for them – literally and figuratively. I believe this industry thrives on collaboration, and some of the most talented minds I have encountered have been women. I celebrate them by acknowledging their contribution, referring their work, and creating an environment within my own team where every person feels seen, valued and free to grow.
Who or what has been your inspiration throughout your life?
My family has always been my greatest source of inspiration. The Goodspace was born from an opportunity that came through family, and it has grown over 13 years into something I am truly proud of. Today, my biggest inspiration sits at the breakfast table every morning – my twins. Watching the world through their eyes reminds me every day why I do what I do and who I am doing it for.
If your life were a movie title, what would it be?
She didn’t wait for the blueprint – because that is exactly what it has felt like. I did not start with a grand master plan. I stepped into an opportunity, gave it everything I had, and have been learning, building and growing ever since. And, I would not have it any other way.
A woman to me is … someone who holds everything together while still finding the courage to dream bigger. She is strong enough to lead, wise enough to listen and generous enough to bring others along with her. A woman knows that her success is not diminished by lifting others – it is defined by it.
