A feel for local interior design

Creating South African interiors for over twenty years, Tiggs Crozet of Indigo Interior Design is know for her use of local materials and classical contemporary interiors. Placing strong emphasis on comfort and luxury, her interior designs retain a timeless sophistication.

 

Filled with beautifully textured pieces and executed in a pared-down, earthy palette, this indoor-outdoor home in Parktown North epitomises Tiggs' love of classically contemporary design.

For a young couple with a love of art, Tiggs created a home that is sophisticated yet comfortable. Many of the pieces featured in this home were designed by Tiggs and manufactured by local artisans, Leonardo Design, who specialise in innovative furniture using new and old materials.

The casual sunroom offers subtle hints of coastal style with its striped rug, and flows seamlessly onto a covered verandah draped in greenery and hidden from view. The patio furniture was sourced locally and allows for indoor-outdoor entertainment and casual dining with friends.

 

 

Just off the verandah, a small gravel courtyard is set for two and easily accessed via the dining room and kitchen. The dining room reflects the more sophisticated aspect of the interior design with its contemporary pendant light and modern upholstered chairs.

"My approach to creating a beautiful interior is to work closely with my clients - to really understand their lifestyles and design needs. I draw enormous satisfaction from a job well done, from knowing that a client truly loves the space they’re in," says Tiggs.

Luxuriously appointed bedrooms feature upholstered headboards and patterned wallpaper, with upholstered seating in the master suite. The neutral tones allow the owners to change the look according to the season simply by swapping cushions and throws.

To tie in with the metallic tones in the guest bedroom, a writing desk gilded with silver serves as a dresser and is paired with a ticking-slipcovered chair that re-visits the coastal style of the sunroom.
