The main bedroom combines clean lines with subtle texture and pattern. The pair of artworks above the bed are by Michael Taylor (instagram.com/michaeltaylorstudio), while the pieces on either side are all by South African artist Stephan Allwright, whose work is available via Cape Town gallery THEFOURTH (thefourth.co.za).
Holiday homes at the beach tend to come in two main categories–think nautical and fresh, or all about natural textures–but this apartment is in a realm of its own. While it absolutely embraces its beachside location and ocean views, there is something even more special on display here: its owner’s ongoing fascination with, and expression of herself through, collecting contemporary art. Véronique’s apartment is available for holiday rentals; for more information, email Sean Crawford at sdalecrawford@gmail.com.
The main bedroom’s en suite bathroom is open plan, sleek, and contemporary. The bath and tapware are from Still Bathrooms (still.za.com).
In the second bedroom, the oil on canvas above the dressing table is by South African contemporary artist Nabeeha Mohamed (instagram.com/ nabeeha_m), Whatiftheworld (whatiftheworld. com). The ceramic piece on the table is by Ben Orkin (instagram.com/ benorkin), and the Jean Prouvé Standard chair is a vintage piece. The table lamp is from India Ink (indiaink.co.za). whose work is available via Cape Town gallery
Petite and cozy, the second bedroom is also en suite and features a moody wallcovering that beautifully sets off brightly colored kantha quilts and other Indian bed linen picked up on Véronique’s travels. The artwork above the bed is “Laughter and Tears, a Pair of Parentheses” (2021), an oil on canvas by South African contemporary artist Nabeeha Mohamed (instagram.com/ nabeeha_m), whose work is available via Cape Town gallery Whatiftheworld (whatiftheworld.com).
