How much does an architect cost in South Africa?
The South African Council for the Architectural Profession (SACAP) publishes "standard rates" based on a price per square meter when using a building cost of R12 500 per m².
I'd like to explore costs with helping me update my lounge/kitchen area: 1) Right paint colour for lounge / kitchen area. 2) How to lighten dark furniture in room by mixing - all furniture is dark 3) Artwork for lounge walls -make it feel more homely 4) Suggesting and updating lighting fixtures 5) Updating lounge curtains - advice on if I can modernise them without having to buy new ones? 6) Storage options
I have purchased a house that has recently been built. I would like ideas on furnishing and decorating. So I have bought a brand new home, the kitchen has been designed by the owner already but not built yet. he also designed the cupboards for the bedroom but allowed me to make changes. I’m not sure how decorators work in terms of costs. Kindly send me infor via email or what’s app as I’m at work and cannot speak. I would like ideas for bedroom, lounge, dining area and a bachelor pad decorating.
We have bought a newly renovated stand alone house in Craighall. it has 4 bedrooms, two lounges and a dining room. My wishes: to have the home professionally decorated into a stylish, but comfortable home. It needs to be homely, but not basic. I generally like the traditional classic look but this house has modern elements and hence my need for assistance so that it doesn't look confused. The look needs to be sophisticated, but also functional because we have a toddler and family may still grow. Obviously it needs to be cost effective. Expectations: Never having used the services of interior design before, I am expecting collaboration on ideas, advise and sourcing right through to seeing to delivery and staging of the furniture and pieces. Regards

This renovation will involve putting up a 2 dividing dry walls and construction of 2 bathrooms and 3 kitchenettes. I prefer email communication.
I just need my apartment to look awesome inside, i don't have furniture at the moment but I am willing to know how to put in some furniture with the help of a designer, because my dinning room is together with the sitting room, so i need to know what to do in those two places downstairs, and upstairs i need to change the color of my closet they yellow so i need to know what color can i use to all three bedrooms, and also on my two bathrooms change can i do for the mirrors and those three sinks.
Hi. I am currently working on a project of starting my own car wash-café in Tembisa. My idea is to have a small café that will cater for my customers whilst they wait for their cars to be washed. The café will be erected on a space no more than 8m× 4,5 m. I wish for the car wash café to be distinct from the ones around the neighbourhood and surrounding areas- hence I introduced a café. I would like a black bold interior with lighting that makes clients feel welcomed and comfortable. An L shaped couch and a small table to go with it. And a few silver steel chairs and tables to match with it. I wish for a setting that will accommodate people who come in as groups, pairs and or individuals. And also a counter on the right. The building has sliding doors facing towards the car wash through the 8metre side.. just to give a picture of the scenery.
