Tidy solution
Stacy and Jacques van Zyl of Brackenfell was keen to create an inviting – and affordable – entrance leading from the front door into their open-plan living and dining area. Jacques used pallets to build a structure with a frame, which he mounted on the wall next to the front door to define the space.
“Storage is limited in our home and this area now serves as a place to hang our jackets, hats, scarves, and bags – and the kist works as both storage and seating,” says Stacy.
A playful touch
A guest bedroom in Dirk and Sindi Jooste’s Durbanville home doubles as a playroom for their kids – Chrisjan (5), Ruan (3) and Amelie (1). To keep the space neat, they rely on a large built-in melamine cupboard. It’s practical with its combination of open shelves for pretty displays and closed doors behind which the kids can easily pack away their toys.
