Key Takeaways from Our Chat
Boitumelo was captivated as a young child with beautiful spaces. She carries this through to today, where she is inspired by spaces she walks into today. Lighting that comes into your space is her focus, as it can bring out the colours in your art or scatter cushions, and thus influences the colour palate for your home.
Her top tip is to invest in timeless furniture, and play around with trends in the smaller decor items, like cushions and pictures.
Boitumelo shared the history of how the industrial style of interior decorating came from. She feels it works well in an open plan space, with lots of natural light. Metallic and architectural elements are often exposed, and you accentuate with decor that has a strong metal or wood theme.
Two trends she highlighted were around adding bold, maximalism furniture, and also more indoor greenery.
It was such a pleasure chatting with Boitumelo (connect with her on Facebook too) and getting an expert’s perspective on industrial decor. Her insights are a game-changer for anyone looking to add a luxurious yet timeless touch to their space.
