Welgevonden's tree-lined streets and established gardens have given the estate a settled, leafy character that newer developments take decades to earn. Homes tend to sit on generous stands with a real lawn and a patio built for entertaining, rather than a token strip of grass — which shifts a lot of the shading conversation outdoors, not just to the windows.
Patios and braai areas here are strong candidates for a folding-arm awning, giving summer shade without blocking the garden view, and zip screens that close the same space in for a wet Cape winter braai. Indoors, family bedrooms and living rooms most often take made-to-measure roller blinds — blockout for the kids' rooms, sunscreen for the living areas — and we default nurseries and playrooms to cordless or motorised control given how many young families live on the estate.
Older-style formal rooms suit warm timber venetians more than a modern roller, and we'll say so at the measure.
A number of Welgevonden homes are mid-renovation rather than new, so we're used to working around existing frames, cornices and pelmets. A free in-home measure covers the whole house or just the room you're starting with.
