There is nothing understated about this apartment. Every one of its features, from floor to ceiling, exudes luxury and begs to be noticed. This was the aim from the get-go when Mumtaz Dasoo, founder of Mumtaz D’Interiors, and Fatima Garda, of Poliform South Africa, took on the renovation of this family home, north-east of Johannesburg.
‘When we first walked into the apartment,’ says Mumtaz, ‘it was an empty shell, but even at the beginning of the planning stages, we realized it had a lot of potential. We knew this space needed to be glamorous and theatrical. We wanted every corner to emanate luxury and high comfort.’ For Fatima, there was no question that the apartment would be dark and chic. ‘I wanted it to be modern,’ she says, ‘and stylish as if it were an exclusive, boutique hotel. Clean lines and neutral tones are the main features of the interior design. With a clever combination of shapes, color, and finishes, we were able to create a compelling home.’
