Living room before and after transformed from gloomy to inviting
This living room offers plenty of space but is dark. The old, dark furniture and the heavy blackout curtains don’t help. The owners reached out to us to help revitalize the space. It needed more than a fresh coat of paint. We retained the unique false ceiling with several lights installed in parallel, but made the lights larger. It brightened up the room immediately. We also created a statement wall, used white marble as a backdrop for the TV, and replaced the heavy curtains with sheer curtains. The brown long modular TV unit, floating shelf, modular coffee table and soft gray carpet completed the entire look of the living room.
A living room makeover before and after that maximizes available space
When the owners saw the property when they moved in, they knew they had to do something about the yellow wall. The otherwise spacious and airy living room required character. To give the yellow wall a new and more tasteful look, we wallpapered it. It’s an inexpensive and easy way to add a completely new touch to any room. That’s why we used two textured wallpapers in blue and gray to cover the yellow tiled wall. We also replaced the existing TV unit with a modular, bespoke piece that perfectly combines closed drawers and open shelves. We built a gallery wall for the TV with some floating shelves. The modular window storage space doubles as additional seating for the living room. We placed the soft 4-seater sofa next to each other to avoid overcrowding the small living space.
Before and after living room idea that transforms the essentials into an absolute eye-catcher
This living room in a 40m² studio apartment needed a major redesign. However, since it was a rental space, we were not allowed to make any structural changes. Nevertheless, we completely redesigned the living space. We repainted the walls in off-white and gray with a cement texture. We brought a modular dresser. It is great for additional storage space and doubles as a shelf for displaying some decorative vases and items. A large blue carpet with a gray 3-seater sofa, a large pouffe and a stylishly decorated coffee table transformed this corner of the studio. A few paintings, some pillows, blankets and a chic floor lamp completed the look. Now this apartment looks even warmer and more inviting.
Before and after living room makeover for a boring to fabulous facelift
Renovating a living room is not as difficult as you might think. But sometimes you need something special – more than a new coat of paint and a repositioning of the furniture. So we gave this living room a new, stylish look. The house had great bones. Therefore, we left the existing structure of the living room untouched. We covered the wall behind the sofa with printed exposed brick wallpaper. The owners got rid of the rented sofas and center table and decided to invest in new modular furniture. So we brought our U-shaped sectional sofa with a glass top coffee table. The biggest change, however, affected the TV. Our designers customized it with a combination of closed drawers and open shelves, as well as an all-new background for the flat screen TV. We completed the living room look with accent lights, a decorative wall clock, centerpieces, and tastefully selected upholstered furniture.
Before and after living room idea that perfectly optimizes a large space
When it comes to the interior design of urban houses, a space that is too large is rarely a point of criticism. This huge living room in a premium 3-bedroom apartment is every homeowner’s dream. It has two huge picture windows with green views and solid hardwood floors. All this living room needed was a carefully chosen and tasteful interior design. The star of the newly renovated room is the blue velvet sofa set, which is contrasted by two yellow wingback chairs that are cozy and clearly fill the large room. The combination acts as a perfect visual anchor for the room’s overall gold color scheme. A large vintage center table and a side table between the chairs give the elegant space a regal look. A round dining table separates the large living room into a seating area and a dining area.
