Design For You

We can only make the best use of a space when we know its purpose. And that's where space planning comes in. Carin van Heerden will be taking us through what it means to plan for a space, and we further explore the practically of space planning with Wanda-Michelle Hadlow.

There is an endless list of design styles that you can create in your home. We will be exploring a few of these today, starting off with a visit to the African contemporary and eclectic Batuka Interiors with Mark Abraham. Houtlander will then showcase their mid-century modern styled furniture and Blaque Pearl Lifestyle gives us their interpretation of luxurious contemporary.

More often than not, family is what truly makes a house a home. How do we design a home that caters to the entire family? Is the idea of "family living" central to our homes? Our featured guest Elisha Annandale of Décor Identity answers all this and more. We also visit a newly designed home with interior designer Erica Schalkwyk.

The urban regeneration in our cities is something exciting to witness and be a part of. We experience just a bit of this transformation today in Newtown with Maira Koutsoudakis of the Life group of companies.
