Seven spectacular stoeps and why they work so well

The daybeds are from Weylandts; Stefan and Albie had different covers made to suit each season. These orange covers are made from rain-resistant umbrella material. A garden gnome side table adds a playful element.

Stefan Blom and Albie du Toit are not afraid of colour. On the contrary, their house in Green Point, Cape Town represents all the colours of the rainbow: the guest room is powder-blue (see the cover of Home, May 2020) and here on their stoep it’s lush green, ceiling and all.
