In the lush garden the poolside gazebo has been extended to create a barbecue and entertaining area.
1/6 Exterior | South African family home
2/6 Living room | South African family home
Comfy white sofas in the airy all-white living room have been covered with practical linen slip-covers. A favourite painting hangs from the ceiling against the mirrored wall.
The silver twig candlesticks are from South African decorating shop Cecile & Boyd's
3/6 Open-plan living space | South African family home
In the living room a chandelier hangs off centre against a mirrored wall. Dark parquet floors are topped with a large sisal mat which adds to the room's cosiness.
Try Rainbow London for a similar vintage chandelier, and Aram for an Eileen Gray chrome and glass table.
4 /6 Dining room | South African family home
The celing in the dining room has been painted grey to differentiate it from the all-white living room. A mirrored wall reflects the greenery beyond, while mismatched cane and raffia-covered chairs sit at a clean-lined table.
Try Reed & Rackstraw for chairs like these. For similar grey paint try Ebony Mists 2 by Dulux.
5/6 Conservatory | South African family home
An airy open-plan space creates a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors. The owners lifted the garden so it sits in line with the house, and created a deck that runs the entire length of the building.
6/6 Bedroom | South African family home
A plinth behind the bed doubles as a headboard and desk. Floor-to-ceiling mirrored sliding doors reflect the views and seal off the bathroom from the main room.
Calvin Klein has bedlinen in similar shades. Find a Tolomeo Mega floor lamp at Geoffrey Harris. Find a similar carpet at Crucial Trading.
