This is Us

We say we’re about smart art direction and smart content and we guarantee that’s more than just smart marketing. Our typeface, logo and web design, the way that our site reads visually, and the quality of our images are as painstakingly considered as the copy that fills your screen. Our opinion? Yay or nay, you’ll know about it. And, whether we’re in favour or not, we’ll substantiate those viewpoints. 

We’re not big on puff pieces. So, we’ve replaced that model with well-researched, fresh content that ignites the reader. To us, stylish living is about considered, authentic and independent style in all its shades, the full 360 degrees of living life beautifully. Lifestyling.co.za is an ode to exactly those values. Our content covers design, decoration and shopping, as well as culture, gardens, food and drink. And, because independent viewpoints matter to us, we’ve also made room for a platform dedicated to opinions from compelling voices. 

Our team has worked the South African media and design scene for many years, putting their skills to brands like Design Joburg, Design Indaba, Condé Nast House & Garden and House and Leisure magazines to name a few. We want to take that collective currency and offer you more than what you’ve become accustomed to. More than the standard.
