When this family decided they wanted to spend their holidays in style, right beside the ocean, what they found was this gorgeous piece of paradise.

A revamp included redoing the pool patio, where luxurious timber decking was laid. A convenient built-in braai and counter were put in to allow for entertaining on warm summer nights.

ABOVE: The brief received by Exactgas was to supply a flueless, easy-to-use and sleek fireplace with contemporary finishes. The company supplied and installed an Infiniti gas fireplace and a Multibraai gas drop-in barbeque with an extraction fan, as well as a Firefox charcoal braai. Exactgas and Fireplaces supplie s and installs wood, pellet and gas fireplaces, and braais.

The interior then had to match up, so renovations were done there too. “The interiors got a cosmetic facelift with fresh paint, gorgeous wallpaper and decorative light fittings,” says Cheryl Herweg from Changing Spaces. A stunning, engineered stone-top kitchen island was a welcome treat as this family needed a fitting area to prepare delicious meals for their brand new braai.

RIGHT: De Ville Cupboards & Joinery was approached by the designer to assist with this beautiful project. The company was responsible for various joinery items throughout the home including the Duco-sprayed kitchen island. Established in 1975, for this company service, quality and attention to detail are a standard promise.

BELOW: JEH Electrical was tasked with doing the electrical work in this gorgeous home. The company installed soft warm white lighting, pendants throughout, including a bespoke high-level decorative pendant lighting arrangement (MAXIM Décor Lighting) and custom cabinet LED strip lighting. JEH Electrical also provided the socket outlets in this home.

RIGHT: The brief received by Changing Spaces was “a casual relaxed vibe” for their client’s beach house interiors. It had to be homely and inviting but also hard-wearing so that visitors and children would feel comfortable using the furnishings without it feeling too precious. Cheryl Herweg of Changing Spaces specified a neutral palette with accents of black and blue throughout the home. The company was responsible for the entire interior design process, from implementation to handover.
