We moved into our house at the end of 2016 and knew there were a few areas that needed upgrading. With the lounge having too many windows, it made it awkward to try and position our furniture and TV without it looking lopsided. After a long time of contemplating the correct layout, looking for ideas and deciding what style we liked best, this was the end result.

Greetings from Pretoria,
Tony & Karin
