Take a tour around a renovated bungalow in Cape Town

The owners demolished various outbuildings to create a wrap-around decked garden - an important requirement for their growing family.

To ensure the open-plan space doesn’t feel too big, the owner demarcated lounging, eating, cooking and TV zones using furniture, rugs and a mirrored wall. In this large room, you know the function of each zone immediately.

The couple knocked down dividing walls to create a large open-plan living space. Chocolate-brown lacquered doors conceal kitchen appliances and household clutter.

All the units are lacquered in Rum Caramel by Dulux. Roundhouse could design a kitchen like this.

French doors lead out onto the garden decking, creating a seamless transition between outdoors and indoors. Because the family spend most of their time in the living area, everything in it was chosen with durability and comfort in mind.

Go to WovenGround for a similar rug.

The private, walled shower area that leads off the master bedroom's ensuite was painted the same dark colour as the rest of the exterior, contrasting with the main bedroom which is kept white.

This girl's bedroom is a breath of fresh air. Bold stripes, embroidered bedlinen and colourful furniture make it the perfect place to grow up in, and a perfect alternative to a traditional pink scheme.

Use Dulux’s Tarragon Glory.
