To help the owners of this newly renovated Jo’burg home establish a comfortable open-plan living area, Candice Koller of CW Interiors started with the furniture placement. “We made sure there was an easy flow out to the garden and that they could also enjoy the fireplace (not visible), which separates the living room from the dining area.”

  1. The sofa and ottoman were custom made to fit the space; the ottoman provides more seating and, as it’s low, it doesn’t block the view of the garden.
  2. To keep the look clean and modern, Candice used one large scatter in a striking fabric from St Leger & Viney to draw the eye and add colour.
  3. Instead of a large coffee table, Candice paired two identical tables with marble tops for a sense of luxury.
  4. Defining the sitting area is a plush rug from Lund Rug Gallery, which softens the concrete floor.
  5. To give the room the wow factor, Candice included two statement chairs to which she added scatters from Home Fabrics. “The chairs swivel so they can turn to face the fireplace,” she explains.
