5 ways to cosy up your Cape Town home
Category Property Advice
Your Cape Town home isn't simply a property - it's a canvas for your life as a couple.
Creating a shared home that reflects your journey and nurtures your love story is a beautiful
way to celebrate your love, every day.
Knight Frank shares 5 ways to cosy up your Cape Town home.
Communication is the key
Decorating and furnishing your love nest that caters for both your tastes and styles isn't as
simple as one might imagine. If you're merging two homes into one, there could be some
crazy clashes of style too. What seemed beautiful in a bachelor pad may not suit the bigger
house you're moving into. Keep the conversation flowing as you choose elements and items
for your home. Explore creative solutions that integrate both your desires. Multi-functional
spaces give you the opportunity to combine your needs and desires too. We'd recommend a
shared Pinterest board or collage that can help you combine your key wants and needs for your home.
Find shared priorities
Sharing your priorities with each other also helps to cosy up your Cape Town home. Moving
beyond your preferences, your individual priorities also come into play. While gardening may
be a hobby you share, it's the late-night moviefests you do not. Styling your home to suit
your shared priorities, while allowing for individual hobbies too, is a fine balance. (Big tip: we
believe in your love, so we know you'll get it right too!)
Your home should grow with you
Life is always shifting, and your home will need to keep up with your changes as a couple
too. As your relationship evolves, your home will too. Find ways to foster shared experiences
when you're at home, by selecting items that don't just work for today, but will work for a new
version of your duo too. Perhaps there are children you envision in your shared future, or
you're keen to adopt pets as soon as you can. Let your home grow with you, and your love will too.
Reflect your love story
Personal mementos, photographs, and other personal touches, infuse your home with a
uniquely cosy touch. Don't be shy, however, to extend that infusion of your love story into
other elements of design and decor too. You could even move further into history and
combine important items from your respective families. Heirlooms and antiques add an
interesting touch to your living spaces. This creates a space that feels truly yours, fostering a sense of belonging and connection.
Cultivate romance with cosy touches
Combining textures turns the typical into luxurious, making your home perfect for love. Plush
throws, warm lighting, and scented candles can cultivate a sense of romance throughout
your home. Adding simple touches of nurturing textures and comfort gives you even more
reason to cuddle up every night.
