CONSULTATION

 

A lot of people underestimate the importance of thorough consultation and the impact it can have on their project. I work together with my clients to create designs and collaborate with various specialists involved to ensure that designs are most suitable to their specific needs.

Many people get stressed out just thinking of engaging with the various specialists such as architects, builders, cabinetry makers, electricians and landscape architects when embarking on the journey of building their dream home or even renovating their existing one. I am happy to assist you when dealing with any of the above mentioned to ensure that various elements fit in with the overall theme.

 FARM STYLE INSPIRED LIVING

  Although the contemporary look is popular, people love the comfort of the traditional farmhouse style. Here both styles are combined in the cabinetry and colours used. 

 

 

BATHROOM

 

When pampering is the objective, I like to dress a bathroom as I would any other living room with the appropriate furniture, accessories and art. Don’t be afraid to make the space special by including items that are beautiful to you. In this en suite a rug was added as well as ornately framed mirrors and a re-upholstered chair. Inspired by the homeowner’s love of roses, custom-made lights were sourced to add a personal touch

MASCULINE BACHELOR PAD

 

I thoroughly enjoyed working on this project. Major interior renovations were done for the comfort of the client’s elderly parents, who are currently living in the house – a testimony of his love & respect for them. Helping the owner to identify suitable contractors as well as overseeing the project from concept to completion,  did not come without challenges, as he lives in Qatar and all communication had to be done via e-mails and whats app! 

The brief was to create a masculine space with industrial elements, but with the focus on on comfort. Space was a major concern and all furniture and cabinetry were custom designed to utilize the space optimally.

Every area ended up having it’s own wow-factor, but the kitchen earned five stars! Walls were brought down to enlarge the  kitchen and integrated appliances combined with seamless design enhanced the success of this elegant space.  

Earthy and organic elements were used in a neutral palette with splashes of gold to create an extremely stylish yet functional and cozy  gathering space for the whole family.

KITCHEN

 

As families are spending more time in the kitchen, it has become the most important room in the house.  Although the contemporary look is popular, people love the comfort of the traditional farmhouse style. Here both styles are combined in the bespoke cabinetry and colours used.  An oversized island anchors the space and serves as a hub for family activities, providing a place for the family to congregate. On the practical side it has plenty of work surface for food preparation plus loads of storage space. Cabinetry keeps the look clean and uncluttered.

 COASTAL DREAM HOME

This beach front weekend getaway in Langebaan had plenty to offer and inspiration came from the beautiful ocean and beach area stretching from Club Mykonos to Calypso Beach.  After the initial consultation and meeting with the clients, the brief was clear: everything had to be about the views.

Bespoke furniture was custom designed to accommodate their relaxed lifestyle, while keeping a sense of refinement.  Every inch of space was lovingly enveloped with the monotone scheme and offset with bursts of colour.  Organic elements such as wood and sisal added texture and warmth. Modern elements were married with more traditional objects to refine the space. Choice of soft furnishings captured the essence of the surroundings and created a seamless flow between the exterior and interior space.

ENTRANCE/

CELLAR

 

An entrance creates expectation, an opportunity to engage the guests’ visual senses and sets the tone for what is to come. What strikes you about this entrance hall is the magnificent wine cellar with arched brickwork. For maximum impact, a hurricane style lantern was used to make a statement and old wine barrels and custom-made shelves with grape and vine detail created a rustic feel and added to the finishing touches.
