rework, remodel
At this time of the year, we all plan updates and improvements – to our homes as well as ourselves – and a good place to start is at the recently opened Tile Africa flagship store in Garsfontein, Pretoria. “The layout of the store is innovative and makes it easier for customers to be inspired and find what they’re looking for,” says Liza Watermeyer, retail and display co-ordinator at Tile Africa. The innovations include: • An Idea Hub where customers can experiment with tile samples, mixing and matching them on a display table so as to see which tiles work well together; • Free interior design advice from trained, experienced staff with design backgrounds, and lifestyle displays featuring design ideas; and • A working shower display that allows customers to experience the flow size and strength of each shower head (such a great idea!). • Tile Africa, cnr Solomon Mahlangu Drive and Gilda Avenue, Garsfontein, Pretoria, (012) 998-4408, tileafrica.co.za.
