1. Bedroom

If you have an empty attic that you'd like to turn into a loft apartment, then this bedroom is a great starting point! The simple white and neutral colour scheme is charming and stylish creating a space that is cosy and welcoming. The bedroom features comfortable seating and more than enough natural light.

2. Bathroom

A modern bathroom has a luxurious atmosphere with elegant and classic colours, transparent shower doors and welcoming sunlight for that fresh and cool environment of relaxation.

3. Lovely living room

Although the South African climate is generally warm, winter can have its icy days. A fireplace in the living room will therefore be the best way to feel comforted and at ease despite the downpours and chill in the air.

4. Kitchen

A neutral colour kitchen with an exposed brick decor element is attractive, eclectic and country-inspired. A centre island doubles up as extra seating for meal times, while the brilliant layout ensures more than enough cabinet space for all your essentials.

5. Terrace

If you're lucky enough to have a large backyard, then a terrace is a great use of space too. An undercover braai area is excellent too, this means no excuses for those barbecues with family and friends throughout the seasons.

6. Poolside

Another fantastic addition to a spacious backyard and garden is a pool with a deck seating. Just enjoy the sunshine, gorgeous sights and fresh air from the comfort of your home. Have a look at these 21 ideas to renovate your home with very little effort
