Project nursery Designing a nursery for your baby can be a fun and rewarding experience, but it can also seem a little daunting ... especially if you don’t know where to begin. We found a ton of inspiration in this gorgeous nursery decorated for Hillcrest social influencers Kwanele Kubheka and Thabo Cele by Mags from Margaret Rose Interiors.

The family are excitedly awaiting their new little arrival The nuts and bolts… “We contacted Mags in the midst of lockdown with nothing but an idea in our heads of what we wanted, but we didn’t know if it would be possible. We didn’t really know of many interior designers within our suburb, but we know Mags and had followed her journey with Margaret Rose Interiors on social media. We felt we could trust her with our home. As a rule we like to support friends in business, so it was the best decision we could have made,” says Thabo. Having left East Coast Radio and walked straight into lockdown with her own brand new interior design company, Mags says she was thrilled to work with the glamorous couple. “Thabo had asked me to keep a secret and please help him organise their baby’s nursery. It was an honour even to have the conversation, especially considering the fact that the whole country had been locked down and times were tough for everyone financially. To be trusted with their design dream and, more importantly, the sensitivity to budget, was an amazing honour. It was a project I leapt into without hesitation.” Kwanele sent Mags a picture of what she had in mind and then, quite literally, let her run with the design input and installation. “It took me right back to when I was about to have my baby and it became a love project for me. I was meticulous in choosing items that were highly ‘mom and baby sensitive’, from lighting to tented nets, soft plush feels underfoot and breathable items to ensure baby’s safety … all while adding a little sparkle to allow mommy some glamour during the early hours of the morning. As part of the brief, the clients requested the nursery be set up in their main bedroom. This came with its own set of challenges, as there were many things to consider. But working with a ‘power couple’ who trust you and allow you design freedom makes the process a breeze!” October 2020 Get It • Highway • Berea • Durban North 55
