Over the last few years, Cape Town<\/a> has definitely staked a claim as a world design capital \u2014 and the interiors scene is as dazzling as a Camps Bay sunset. From collectible African furniture to pretty ceramics and wallpapers you\u2019ll want to stroke, the Mother City is bursting with places to feather your nest. Ready? Let\u2019s go shopping for your home\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"guide<\/a>
The ‘iThongo’ exhibition, the Southern Guild Gallery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The V&A Waterfront<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re starting at the Waterfront, steel yourself: you\u2019ll need a strong will and failing that, a larger suitcase… We suggest beginning at The Silo Shop. Tucked inside The Silo Hotel, its pillow-y windows an icon of the city\u2019s night skyline, the curated edit of local art books and accessories is as chic as the hotel itself.

Just around the corner, the Southern Guild Gallery<\/a> is one of the most important names in South African design. Expect collectible pieces by the likes of Andile Dyalvane, Dokter and Misses, and Wiid Design and in the shop, ceramic vases, sculptural bowls and lighting that doubles as art. Don\u2019t skip the Zeitz MOCAA shop<\/a> <\/strong>either; located on the ground floor, just below the gigantic concrete tubes of the old grain silo, it’s stocked with coffee-table books you\u2019ll actually want to carry home.

And then there\u2019s the Watershed<\/a>, a market-style space bursting with the best of South African talent. Inside, it\u2019s a beautiful melee of textiles, furniture, ceramics and gifts from Wonki Ware<\/a>\u2019s famously wonky tableware to throws by African Jacquard and pretty prints from local illustrators. If there\u2019s time, pop next door to AAFRICAA<\/a> and ogle the magazine-worthy interiors and collectible African design pieces. If it doesn\u2019t make you want to re-decorate every room in your house, you\u2019re not looking hard enough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Chandler House<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

CBD<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make your way up to cool-as-a-cucumber Kloof and Bree Streets, where the interiors shops are sandwiched between chic boutiques and caf\u00e9s. On Kloof, LIM<\/a> sets the tone with its sleek, clean lines and Scandi-meets-Africa vibe, while Pezula Interiors <\/a>(Buiten Street) is all about layered, elegant living with a modern edge. For something different, head up the hill to Chandler House<\/a> in Bo-Kaap, Michael Chandler\u2019s jewel-box of a shop, and shop the hand-painted ceramics and heritage-inspired prints that spill from the shelves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Bo-Kaap, follow the hill back down to Houtlander<\/a> in Heritage House. Once a collective space, it\u2019s now entirely dedicated to Houtlander\u2019s award-winning wooden furniture, crafted to last and always with a little design twist (their spindle bench is particularly iconic). The showroom is cleverly staged like a living space, so you can imagine each piece in your own home. And just around the corner is Mungo<\/a>\u2019s (relatively) new home in the CBD that showcases their stunning \u2013 and proudly South African \u2013 textiles. Shop everything from handwoven throws to towels and linens, all made on their restored antique looms in Plettenberg Bay<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"guide<\/a>
Anatomy Design<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

De Waterkant<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This colourful, cobbled quarter isn\u2019t just about pretty houses and coffee stops (although it has an excellent line in those, too) \u2013 it\u2019s also home to some of Cape Town\u2019s<\/a> most stylish interiors stores.\u00a0Pedersen + Lennard\u00a0<\/a>have their showroom on Napier Street, tucked inside a beautifully restored heritage building where the high ceilings, raw brick walls and shards of sunlight show off the drool-worthy pieces to perfection. Alongside the contemporary furniture, the space also hosts rotating art pieces curated by\u00a0Source Artistry<\/a>, so you might find yourself picking up anything from a striking canvas to a new dining table.

A few doors away,\u00a0Anatomy Design<\/a> brings a little Joburg<\/a> cool to Cape Town with a space that\u2019s all about clean lines and craftsmanship – and if you\u2019ve still got some energy, pop into\u00a0Weylandts<\/a>. This South African interiors giant does scale like no one else \u2013 think vast sofas, oversized tables and statement lighting (for the beach house in Camps Bay, of course…).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Mash Boutique<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Atlantic Seaboard<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Down by the coast, Sea Point and Green Point have plenty to tempt.\u00a0First up is The Strangers Club<\/a>, a caf\u00e9-boutique hybrid founded and stocked by two brothers who source their treasures from around the world. Today, you\u2019ll find a cleverly-curated mix of globally inspired d\u00e9cor, fashion, and homeware in a shaded and very pretty garden setting. Grab a coffee, peruse the shelves, and maybe linger for some brunch afterwards.

Then, brave the traffic on Main Road and make your way to The Blink Shop\u00a0<\/a>for colour, character and fun in ceramic form (it\u2019s the Sea Point stockist of\u00a0Wonki Ware<\/a>), whilst next door, Nosso<\/a> is straight from the beaches of Brazil<\/a> and unapologetically bold, bright and brilliant. Rounds things off with a visit to Mash Boutique<\/a> <\/strong>and cleanse your design palette amid the sleek ceramics and muted furniture and lifestyle goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"guide<\/a>
C\u00e9cile & Boyd<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Constantia & Wynberg<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A short drive south will take you into leafy Constantia and Wynberg, home to some of the grande dames of the South African interiors scene. First up, and perhaps the biggest name of all,\u00a0C\u00e9cile & Boyd\u00a0<\/a>is a must. They are the design firm behind some of the country\u2019s most incredible safari lodges and the Constantia store is full of the same magic: think stunning objets and sumptuous fabrics, furniture and pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearby, the sprawling Block & Chisel <\/a>flagship store is furniture nirvana: antiques, modern pieces, chandeliers the size of small cars, and every accessory you never knew you needed (or wanted!). For textiles, St Leger & Viney <\/a>is a temple of high-end fabrics and wallpapers, while Hertex<\/a> offers a slightly more accessible but equally irresistible edit with rows and rows of textiles in every texture and shade, plus a fab homeware range to peruse, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
