8 PICA WINNER FOR BEST VISUAL PRODUCTION WELCOME Yellow is one of those colours I have had a lovehate relationship with over the years, but since Cape Town has been named the World Design Capital for 2014, I m in love with it all over again. In colour therapy, it is said that if you dislike yellow you are more of a realist who prefers guaranteed results rather than taking chances, while people who love yellow are warm, creative, imaginative and enjoy a challenge. Bright yellow was the perfect choice for this year s World Design Capital logo. In addition to being the most visible of all colours, it s one of the most uplifting. It brings feelings of hope and optimism as well as an air of radiance and cheerfulness. See how this colour is lighting up Cape Town on page 54. We feature one of the most important rooms in the house, the bedroom, in our One Room Four Looks story on page 69. Deep plum, neutrals and a sunny yellow were used, changing the whole look and feel of the room. There s sure to be one that is just right for you. Yellow s complementary colour is, interestingly, purple. And with Radiant Orchid being named Pantone s 2014 Colour of the Year, we couldn t wait to do a décor story about the hue that we re bound to see much more of this year. Get inspired about how you can bring shades of purple into your space in Purple Reign on page 10. Plascon has introduced some new products recently and I m so excited about the launch of Water-based Velvaglo. To be able to paint furniture, doors and trims with a water-based product as good as the much-loved Velvaglo is great news. There s no need to clean brushes with mineral turps and it s so much better for the environment. We hope you enjoy this special makeover issue of Plascon SPACES and that you will be inspired by what you can achieve with a new lick of paint. We d love to hear your thoughts on this issue as well as details on projects that you ve done or plan to do. Drop us an us or tweet I look forward to hearing from you.

10 CONTRIBUTORS M I S I O V E R T U R F STYLIST S H A V A N R A H I M PHOTOGRAPHER L A U R E N S H A N T A L L WRITER 8 Misi was the creative force behind the paint effects feature (page 78), providing readers with easy, step-by-step instructions to give kitchens an inexpensive makeover with paint and accessories. Your current colour crush? At heart I m a black and white girl, but I like throwing in the odd turquoise splash or luminous neon. Bravest colour decision you ve ever made? To paint our whole house s interior charcoal. Your best DIY advice? By making mistakes you ll learn new techniques and find out how things work. The most colourful room in your house? My whole house is eclectic with travel mementos, hand-me-down furniture and quirky art. Shavan was in high demand this issue, taking pics of a gorgeous office makeover (page 34), cartoonist Zapiro s studio (page 40), the colourful suburb of the Bo-Kaap (page 86), and the yellow World Design Capital tributes throughout Cape Town (page 54). Most colourful room in your house? My kitchen, which is bright red. Your current colour crush? Any shade of blue. Colours you avoid? I steer clear of wearing neons, as they don t suit my skin tone. Latest DIY project? I whitewashed a piece of furniture. It turned out great. Any behind-the-scenes anecdotes? I was almost knocked over by a car while shooting interior designer Robert Sherwood s studio (page 56) at night. Lauren was lucky enough to chat to popular South African cartoonist Jonathan Shapiro, better known as Zapiro (page 40). They discussed his creative process and decision to give his studio an overdue makeover with the help of Plascon. Most colourful room in your house? Every room is a different colour. Some rooms even have more than one colour. Any behind-the-scenes anecdotes? In exchange for their space-savvy storage solutions, the interior designers at Inhouse made a new-age barter with Zapiro: he s drawing caricatures of the company s directors. Your current colour crush? I m loving the softness of nudes and beiges, and the pastel pinks that have a hint of coral.
