Roberta Thatcher's rounded up South African decor brands whose stylish products you’ll be dying to get your hands on — and can because they're affordable!

1) ZANA PRODUCTS

From furniture to accessories, these product and textile designers have a playful aesthetic that’ll liven up any home. I particularly love Zana Products's new bed linen range. And starting at just R699 for a duvet set, they aren’t going to break the bank either.

2) RIALHEIM

With ceramics, lighting, textiles and more, Rialheim has an amazing range of products to bring a bit of whimsy into your home. Because after all, why shouldn’t your table platter boast a 3D dinosaur? Pictured here, Artie on Paisley, R219.

3) THE BLOCK SHOP

My go-to place for special presents (and I’m building a hefty collection myself), The Block Shop make an amazing collection of bamboo chopping and foodie blocks that are brilliant kitchen staples. Not only are they high-quality and cleverly designed, but they can be custom engraved, too. Pictured here, the Africa Dippy, R220.

 

4) HANDMADE BY ME

With a fun range of colourful textiles and interior products, Handmade by Me is the ideal partner to brighten up your home. From napkins to placemats, tea towels, cushion covers and more, all in bespoke patterns, the Cape Town brand has your home covered. Pictured here, Pretty Proteas tray, R210. 

 

5) BRAK FURNITURE

With the perfect balance between modern and mid-century, Brak Furniture offers stylish furniture solutions for all rooms of your home. Pieces can be personalised via colour, and the brand offers custom built-in solutions too. Pictured here, the 2016 Range Coffee Table, R4,150.
