In pictures: South Africa's shack chic
A collection of photographs celebrating the taste, inspiration and creativity of slum dwellers has recently been published in South Africa called Shack Chic.
This book seeks to capture a decorating spirit offering hope and optimism in South Africa's urban landscape.
Decorated interiors can lift the spirits
Bright colours contrast with the squalor outside
Themes show innovation and confidence
The cupboards look bright and stylish
People do the best they can with what little they have
