Interior design
I would like to modernize and furnish a 2-bedroom/2-bathroom apartment in Sea Point for personal use and potential short-term rental when I am not in Cape Town. My taste/style skews modern, minimalist (I will provide photos of other houses/apartments). I will need to completely furnish the apartment and am looking for layout, design ideas, and interior styling/decorating ideas. I work from home when in Cape Town so 2nd bedroom needs to function as home-office, and it would be ideal if it could also be used as a bedroom for guests. A video of the unit can be found at https://youtu.be/cTGx0UPDCOg. My tenant moves out at the end of September and I would like to be able to move in as soon as possible thereafter. I am available on Whatsapp, email and Whatsapp call.
