The Thembalani Care Centre in Lombardy East received a beautiful dining hall makeover.
The makeover of the Rand Aid Association care centre dining hall was designed by Sandton-based company Infinitude Designs. Spokesperson for the association, Cathy Grosvenor said, “The large room was transformed into a vibrant space. Wallpaper was put on three walls, splashes of colour added through paint and artwork, new curtains puts up and tiles laid. In addition, the steel windows and doors were replaced with aluminium ones.
“The company has done makeovers of various parts of the care centre over the past few years. This time around, it was the dining room that was given a new look.”
Head of the care centre, Elize Raath said, “In the one corner of the hall they created a cosy lounge area with a television set against the wall. They took a three- and two-seater couch and two wingback chairs and re-upholstered them with fabric that was donated by one of their suppliers. This is a beautiful space where the residents can sit and enjoy drinking coffee or tea whilst watching the morning news.”
Raath added that Infinitude Design had 110 cushions made for the chairs in the dining hall. “One of their suppliers made the cushions at cost price. They are covered in navy blue and brown fake leather, which is easy to wash but has made the chairs nice and soft.”
Each table now sports a steel condiment holder with a small succulent plant in it and laminated place mats were designed for each resident.
“The transformation is amazing. The dining hall looks warm, homely and creates an atmosphere of serenity.”
