La Petite Maison

This two bedroom Victorian cottage in Tamboerskloof Cape Town is as stylish as a city home away from home can get (and even better it is available for holiday rentals!).

An eclectic mix of furnishings and styles are anchored by the calming blue and green colour palate.

Tip: Break the rules and create an element of surprise by decorating a sitting room or formal lounge in complete contrast to your home's colour scheme.
