Themed

What was planned as a holiday home soon became the main residence for this KwaZulu-Natal couple.

This property, in the heart of the Western Cape, is an unknown treasure of hectares of cultivated land, modern decor and a home that epitomises comfortable, tasteful family living.

This farm-style home embraces light and open spaces, and offers no barriers to its natural surroundings.

A magnificent view over the world-famous Bakhoven beach and the allure of a healthy lifestyle made this move a no-brainer for the owner, who now calls this special spot home.

If you’re familiar with the Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton film Something’s Gotta Give, you’ll notice striking similarities with the interior design of this home.

This home, on a country estate outside Johannesburg, encapsulates some of the best aspects of rural living – sustainability, a peaceful environment and a welcoming farmhouse style.

Although it may take you to places that are quiet and serene, if you want real country living at its finest, you should consider Clarens.

When these home owners realised they needed a bigger place for their growing family, the hunt for the right piece of land began.

This elegant home is part of a vineyard estate which requires all houses to be built in a Cape vernacular style.

French country design often incorporates ruffles, distressed woodwork and soft, patterned fabrics. Using some of these ideas, the home owner aimed at a laid-back feeling and a “farmhouse look”.

French country style is what Wendy Holmes, the owner of this quaint home, wanted to achieve. An architect, interior designer and the owner of Living Design, she developed the concept and house plan for the home.

The owners of this property found inspiration for their Bali African-themed home while on holiday in Zimbali in KwaZulu-Natal.

Behind the doors of this French-style house lies a spacious home that the owners love sharing with others.

With its dark interior, narrow staircase and many unnecessary little rooms, this home needed a total makeover. Wendy Holmes of Living Design was brought in to perform magic.

It was both the style and the strict architectural guidelines and specifications that every building has to abide by that drove these home owners towards Lombardy Estate
