The Midas touch
When you’re tasked with the design and renovation of a chef’s kitchen, it better be as functional as it is beautiful. This was the nerve-wracking job that designer Kyle Coetzee of House2home took on when Ivor and Roxy Jones decided to revamp their home in Plumstead, Cape Town. Working with warm wood-look vinyl, a combination of greys and matte black touches to add a sleek modern look, Kyle nailed it!
Ivor, head chef at Chefs Warehouse Beau Constantia, and Roxy already owned the bar stools that resemble the wire cages that encase champagne corks; they added brass touches in the customised cupboard handles, warm yellow light bulbs and a drinks trolley to enhance a glamorous look. “We wanted this space to be a showstopper; it’s small but the colours and design featuring lots of storage, open and hidden away, make it highly functional,” says Kyle.
Framed!
When Helen and Franclo Henning built their Durbanville home in 2010, they came up with a unique design for their closed-combustion Godin fireplace that shows off the flue by framing it with exposed brick. “We loved the look of the flue so much that we didn’t want to hide it,” says Helen.
