After
Before
The brief
A couple moving into their first apartment with a fixed budget and an empty unit. We spent the budget where it is seen every day, the sofa and the bed, and kept the rest simple with Kenyan-made textiles and baskets. Everything was delivered and styled in a single Saturday.

- Sofa, dining set and beds sourced from Nairobi suppliers within a fixed budget
- Sisal rug, kitenge cushions and woven baskets for storage
- Zebra blinds in the bedrooms, sheer curtains in the living room
- Styling day with art hung and shelves arranged
Materials
- Matte emulsion in warm white and terracotta
- Sisal rug 2 x 3 m
