The Africa & Arabia Property Awards are the largest, most prestigious, and widely recognised awards programme throughout the regions. The Awards are in their 29th year and cover over 45 different residential and commercial categories.
Competing against design professionals across the African and Arabian regions, the OLALA INTERIORS team were awarded the highest scoring 5*Star Best in South Africa for the category RESIDENTIAL INTERIOR PRIVATE RESIDENCE for their Project Elwandle.

This three level home, literally a stones throw from the beach certainly lives up to its name - Elwandle - The Swazi word for at the sea. The brief was straight forward: create a luxurious, elegant space to entertain and accommodate visiting family and friends. OLALA INTERIORS definitely delivered - specifying, designing, commissioning and manufacturing the whole enchilada!
Situated in the much sought after Dolphin Coast on the KwaZulu Natal North Coast, this fantastically proportioned home provided the perfect canvas to create layer upon layer of rich and textured velvets, fabrics, soft underfoot rugs, specially commissioned South African art and luxe wallcoverings combined with coveted contemporary furniture and custom-made pieces. As the home is right on the beach, it was important to incorporate natural elements alongside highly polished, contemporary pieces, ensuring cohesion with the natural surrounds. Using exceptionally high-quality materials, with superb design selection and attention to detail was a pre-requisite from the client. With an absolute love of black and white - it was easy to insert pops of colour into the schemes. The client also specified textured window treatments in all areas - all rooms have double treatments with plenty of block out - very necessary unless you want to greet the rising sun each morning!
Because the clients travel extensively, specially selected silk flowers and plants were carefully curated but with the exquisitely realistic versions available today, this was not a hindrance! The house always looks dressed. The flowers were specially selected and hand arranged to suit each area.
All floors are marble or solid wood. Beautiful lush hand-knotted wool and bamboo silk rugs add warmth and timeless appeal to all living areas. At the same time carpets unify interior spaces, reduce noise levels, and protect floors. Grey and bronze mirror cladding, wooden slats, high end veneers, solid and polished woods, as well as manmade surfaces cleverly integrated with functional design is evident throughout the house.

The ability to design and manufacture to fit the space is undoubtedly the jewel in OLALA INTeRIORS’ crown.
