Decorating large open-plan spaces

When looking for the perfect Western Cape holiday accommodation

, one might find that many of the selfcatering apartments are indeed open plan, often industrial, spaces. This is due to the fact that there is limited space in the conveniently situated urban areas, as a result industrial warehouses are often converted into loft style apartments. While not everyone's first choice for Selfcatering accommodation Cape Town interior designers are learning to work with these spaces to maximum effect.

First of all, interior designers have started to define or even partition the vast open spaces into particular spaces. This is achieved by either colour coordinating a space, or just painting that section of the room a different colour. Carpets are also utilized for their ability to tie an area together. For more private spaces, screens or room dividers are excellent partitioning tools found in much Cape Peninsula accommodation.

Many of these open-plan spaces do not have the luxury of built in cupboards, but designers have compensated for this by investing in trendy modular storage units that can be reconfigured to serve different needs. Fashionable chests can act as bedside tables while simultaneously storing the linen.

Gone are the days of general, non-directional lighting that worked off one switch, nowadays spaces are being rewired to allow for different lighting in different areas. Much short term accommodation Cape Town has to offer include many lamps rather than one light source.

Interior designers have also been using large dcor items in these open plan spaces, they can afford to with all of the extra space. When they do use a small furniture item it is usually as part of a collection, for example many small artworks or bookshelves help a self catering apartment space appear larger.

For those who appreciate a smaller, cosier, cottage, there is much self catering Constantia accommodation available, where guests can rest in tranquil green environments.
