An independent young lady, Koketso Ngolela, made South Africa proud after sharing her lovely story on TikTok. Mbolela is now renting a back room in the townships.

Ngolela bought furniture that complemented the trendy aesthetic of minimalism. Her home was dominated by neutral colours.

The one-room flat has a sleeping area, where she placed a beautifully decorated bed, a fluffy grey mat, and a washing basket. The kitchen had a tiny cupboard with a two-burner stove and a kettle.

Ngolela kept on adding more pieces to make the place feel homier. She bought a storage wardrobe, a chic table, a mirror, a wine rack, a headboard, and more statement pieces.

The space finally started looking and feeling like home as she added more furniture as time went by. Ngolela took her own time decorating her new place and wowed many with the final product.
