Elevate package

This apartment makeover was part of our ‘Elevate’ package for a client who splits her time between London and Cape Town and wanted a welcoming base that could also function as an Airbnb. With a moderate budget, we focused on updating the space, knowing that a full renovation of the bathroom, balcony and kitchen would come later.

We painted the walls, chose new furniture and updated the kitchen and bathroom counters for a more modern look. A new vanity and sink were added for extra storage in the bathroom. The kitchen cupboards were painted a vibrant green to add some character.

Finally, we installed new window dressings and reeded film to balance privacy and light while keeping the style of the mid-century apartment. These simple but effective changes made the apartment feel more like home, while also making it attractive to Airbnb guests.

Before & After

‘Living between Cape Town and the UK, it's incredible to have someone who can hold both the overall design and vision for my home, as well as the many practicalities of the project when I'm out of the country. Claire has such an incredible eye for design, materials and space and how to make it all work together. I love that Claire finds resourceful ways to furnish the space with antiques and second hand finds that work within my budget, add character to the space and have a lower impact on the environment.’
