You recently renovated your home in Hermanus. What were the highs and lows?

The process was amazing! I know what I want and I run a killer spreadsheet. If you know exactly what you want and are particular about finishes and placements, not a lot can go wrong. There were honestly no lows, other than when it was done. I’m itching for a new one.

As the Queen of DIY, what is your favourite interior DIY tip?

Just try it. I think a lot of people are intimidated by DIY but with the right tools and materials it’s often not as complicated as it looks. ( to see her latest DIY projects.)

What is your favourite Coricraft piece in your home?

That’s like making me choose a favourite child. My favourite would have to be our Indiana modular couch because it anchors the living area and it’s the ideal spot for lazy, salty, post-swim naps. It’s a gathering space which makes it an important piece in our home and I’m so happy I chose it. It also has a slipcover which means it’s easy to clean!

What trends you are most looking forward to for the coming year?

I’m definitely aiming for a slower, more mindful and connected year this year. The trend I’m most excited for is the one that’s the opposite of ‘hustle’. It’s about slowing down, resting, and taking care. If a home can help you achieve those things, you’re winning.
