EXPLORERS DESIGN

Explorers Design brings a cheerful approach to interior design by mixing the whimsical, the classic and the nostalgic, creating a fresh and individual style. 

The vision is to merge carefully sourced eclectic furniture; curious fixtures and fittings; colour and lighting, and personal items that reflect the personality of the client and the character of the space.

If you are interested in creating something unique and inspiring, whether it is in a home, or any space, please contact Jo on 072 464 1240 or send an email to bandoola@mweb.co.za

The photographs on the site are examples from three very different homes created by Explorers Design:
