Before & After – A Neglected Outdoor Space Gets A Redesign

Hanno de Swardt of ONNAH DESIGN, has sent us photos of a renovation project that was recently completed on a home in Cape Town, South Africa.

The townhouse has a large outdoor space, with multiple areas that needed attention.The first area was a small sitting area, which received a couple of chairs and a sofa, with a coffee table.In the second area, the space was turned into a outdoor dining room. Along the wall, custom planters have been added, and the mini palm trees moved to open up the view.Simple lanterns and wall sconces create a calm atmosphere.Furnishings have been kept earthy throughout, like this wood table that ties in with the wood planters.In the third area, a built-in bar and flood lighting have been removed, and replaced with a cozy sitting area.A large comfy sofa and armchairs define the casual sitting space.
