We have built a new braai room and added the furniture - basically a table with 8 chairs and a bar counter with 4 stools. The room has zero decorations in . I need someone to help me get the room cozy and bringing it to life. I will need decorate it over time as I get money to do this. I am planning on decorating it with quality but cost effective decorations. (Mr Price etc) Perhaps one or two expensive statement pieces. We want to go the Nguni route but I cannot imagine this without some greenery. The space is very limited - so we won't be able to add furniture. It has stack doors on both sides, a glass door leading into the house and the other wall has a pizza oven and braai. It has a high ceiling with nice wooden beams. The walls are empty. I am too scared to go out and buy decorations as I am sure nothing will fit together. The house doesn't have a theme. I tried when we bought the house two years ago but with disastress outcome. Nothing works. So the house will need decorating in the near future. Room for room.

I need the bedrooms furnished, there are eight in total. Along with that I need the living room, bar area, home office, gym and outdoor spaces furnished. Three rooms in the home need tiling some have wooden floors and carpet and I want this changed. The paint in the kitchen is peeling on a small area and needs to be fixed. One of the bedrooms needs a new Bathtub as the existing one doesn't meet my needs. The doors in the living room and bar room offer no privacy and I want these replaced for doors that offer more privacy. Finally I need the large window in the kitchen area to be dimmed or frosted, it is see through and neighbors can see us from the outside. One more thing, I want to replace the living room chandelier with a different one, I'm not liking the style of the one we found in the house.
