Switch Up Your Space – A new take on home maker-over shows

Switch Up Your Space offers a new take on home maker-over shows by focusing on South Africans’ entertainment areas and giving them a super refreshing switch up to make homes around Mzansi the best place to chill out this summer.

This means that the switch-up isn’t just about upgrades or aesthetics but about how to bring the vibe to chilling at home, making sure the spaces are prepped for hosting, entertaining or even just chilling in.

The show is hosted by Okay Wasabi who’s joined by fellow cast members Smash Afrika as the vibe master and interior design guru Ayesha Nobanda, together they make up the Switch Up Squad. The squad give the chosen participants a chance to switch up their home entertainment areas in preparation for hosting their family and friends for a special occasion – and fun ensues!

The show is full of twists and unexpected surprises, each week the cast members will be joined by some of Mzansi’s favourite celebrities to help them renovate the entertainment spaces, making sure that they are well equipped for the special chill-in planned. There is a mixture of personalities as part of the squad and each squad member has their own role to play.

Ayesha is a successful interior designer and ensures that the space switch-ups go according to plan, interpreting the contestant’s wants and needs and making them a reality. Smash plays the role of vibe master, he is there to make sure that, not only does everything look great but that the space is optimised for the best vibe to bring the fun and make it a great space to entertain. Okay is there to bring it all together and make sure the team stays on track.
