Some apartments and flats in South Africa have fallen into disarray, but one man wanted to do something about it. A gent shared the process of how he turned a rundown-looking flat into a homely place filled with exquisite finishes.

Flat flipping done right

TikTokker @nhlanhlatheexplorer is the man behind the stunning makeover. The first picture he posted on the TikTok had a caption that read:

'"Instead of 'spending it' I decided to buy myself a flat which I renovated entirely for rental."

And renovate he did. The next slide shows the dull carpet floor of the apartment with an amazing view, while the next shows how the apartment was still a work in progress and how he is still trying to get to terms with being a property owner.

Watch the clip below:

Progress being made

The rest of the clip shows the massive leaps he made in fixing up the place. The old carpet was removed and the kitchen was completely redone. The furniture introduced into the apartment was the icing on the cake.

A closer look at the gent's profile shows a man who is all about lifestyle content and tasty-looking food. Seriously, it's not recommended to look at his post while hungry because you'll be salivating over the scores of meals posted throughout.

1. Refresh with Paint: A new coat of paint can dramatically transform any room. Focus on painting an accent wall or updating cabinetry to breathe new life into your space.
2. Upgrade Fixtures: Replacing outdated taps, handles, and light fixtures can modernise your home without major renovations. Simple changes in the bathroom or kitchen can make a significant impact.
3. Enhance Lighting: Introduce different light sources like floor and table lamps to create depth and warmth in a room's ambience.
4. Revamp Flooring: Consider cost-effective options like vinyl stickers or laminate flooring to update old or worn-out floors. These materials are both affordable and easy to install.
5. Maximise your outdoor spaces: Constructing a deck or patio boosts your garden’s appeal and can help you recoup the project costs in added value.
