We love using chairs rather than a sofa when we need to place seating where the main flow of traffic comes into the room. In this space, we chose chairs with these beautiful metal backs that you see when you walk into the space, and we love how it works to open up the design and pull everything together.
Try this at home: Is there a piece of furniture blocking the flow of traffic in your space? Experiment with moving it around to see if you can find a better solution. You never know what you could come up with!
We love pulling out design elements that speak to us in a home and incorporating them in our furniture and styling. Since we got to be involved in this project from start to finish, we knew from the beginning that the big black metal windows would be a defining feature in the final result. To draw the eye to the windows, we tied in black metal or wood elements in accent pieces throughout the entire home.
In the great room, we tied this element in through the black metal base of the chairs and other decorative accents. Then, in the dining nook, we incorporated some of our favorite black wooden dining chairs around the table.
Try this at home: What is your favorite element of your home? It could be anything from a finish, to a light fixture, to an art piece! Experiment with drawing the eye to it more by pulling out its tone or texture through decor, textiles, or pieces.
Paying attention to scale is an integral part of the design process, and although we always suggest measuring and taping out what you can, sometimes breaking the rules can lend the best result. In this space, we went with these large gold pendants, and although they might have been bigger than the typical pendant-island ratio because the space feels so grand and open, they work to make the perfect statement.
With data prices in Africa outstripping costs in developed markets, pay television is still a growth story. Kenyans spend 5.13 hours a day watching TV; South Africans are agog for 4.37 hours a day while Nigerians are glued for just a minute less at 4.36 hours a day.
Travel in Kenya, Nigeria, Zambia and many other Sub-Saharan African countries shows that DSTV is a ubiquitous brand. You find it in every nook and cranny. This dominance is driven by a very big local content production budget.
