Simple Pleasures
Saxonwold, Johannesburg
The renowned suburb of Saxonwold, Johannesburg, has some of the country’s most stately and historical homes. The properties here are big with rolling lawns, many of which have a sense of old-school charm to them, some of which have remained untouched for decades. This home was one such ‘grand old dame’ whose owners wanted an elegant and contemporary revamp while staying true the stately character of the property and it’s surrounds.







The mustard-coloured drapes and furnishings added a pop of colour to the black and white theme resulting in a modernist aesthetic that hipster dreams are made of. Extending on this current look de jour was the inclusion of Michele and her team’s love of geometrics, which add a contemporary panache in the form of fabrics, rugs and floor tiles.
