The woman also expressed how her mom "discouraged" her from building five bedrooms, saying she would not be able to finish. As time passed, she began the building phase and showcased each process.
Along the way, @khutjiekanyane2 was not entirely happy with her bedroom, as the space was too small, so she changed her plan. They broke it off and started with the new plan, which was an extra cost, but @khutjiekanyane2 said it was worth it.
After seven to eight months of construction, @khutjiekanyane2's house was completed in December 2024. The impressive structure, complete with modern interiors and ample space, has drawn admiration from people across South Africa.
While taking to her TikTok caption, she encouraged individuals by simply saying:
"Be inspired. It is possible if you put your mind to it!"
Top trending colours in the season for home decor
This season's home décor trends involve using colour to create a harmonious and inviting atmosphere. Here are the top trending colours for the season, along with tips on how to incorporate them into your home with help from an expert. While speaking to Briefly News, architect and interior designer, Erwan Kabwita said the following:
Current colour trends include earthy tones, which are shades of terracotta, sage green, and warm browns.
"They help us relax and enhance our well-being by bringing us closer to nature. These colours are ideal for bedrooms and living areas. Use warm browns for wooden components and accessories, sage green for furniture upholstery, and terracotta for accent walls," he shared.
Erwan expressed that muted pastels, which consist of soft pink, baby blue, and lavender shades, could be used for grounding and calmness as they add to the "elegance and softness of your home."
"It is best for bedrooms, nurseries, and bathrooms. Incorporate through bedding, curtains, and decorative items like vases and throw pillows," he added.
Rich jewel tones, emerald green, sapphire blue, and deep purple provide luxury and depth. Arm neutrals offer versatility and cosiness; bold black and white create a modern look, and vibrant coral provides energy and liveliness.
