Mzansi TikTok Users Have Their Say
Meanwhile, interior designer Gontse shared some valuable advice with Briefly News to help first-time homeowners make their spaces shine. Here’s what she had to say:
“When it comes to spending money, my advice to first-time homeowners is to prioritize furniture. Yes, it can be pricey, but investing in quality pieces means you won’t have to replace them every few years. In the long run, this saves you money and ensures your home looks great for years to come. Start by splurging on high-end, good-quality furniture before focusing on smaller accessories.”
“Another key area to focus on is window treatments. Beautiful, full curtains can transform the look of any room. They add an instant touch of luxury and elevate the overall feel of your space. Try mounting your curtain rods higher up on the wall for a more dramatic effect.”
“Lastly, don’t underestimate the power of lighting. Creating the right ambiance in your home is not only functional but also enhances your enjoyment of the space. Consider adding wall sconces, floor lamps, and pendants to provide flexible lighting options for different occasions.”
Social media users were quick to chime in, warning the woman about the man’s intentions:
@Siya Hashibi advised:
“Run for your life; that’s a mosquito of a man. He’s looking for a free ride.”
@Siyamthanda T complimented the woman’s hard work:
