Smart ways
to hang canvas
Dried flowers is a great
way to fill empty vessels
Virére visited Landscape Architect,
Hannes van der Merwe at home in this
issue to showcase exactly how much
opportunity lies in town house living.
This savvy designer made clever use of
the little space available to carve out
displays for personal interests and
collections. Downstairs darker colour
schemes create a calm and restful
ambiance in the lounge and lighter
walls in the dining area reflect the
abundance of light into the rest of the
space. There are always interesting
trinkets and wooden toys on side
tables for guests to fiddle with, that
makes the entertainment areas a true
delight to the senses.
Indoor plants and indigenous flower
prints is a strong unifying theme
throughout the house expressing part
of the Landscape Architect personality
Narrow display shelves for
of the owner, and also compliment the
overall colour schemes chosen for the
personal collections keep it
house. This creates an inviting natural
ambiance and the displays can be
tidy and out of harm's way
rearranged and adds dynamism to the
space
