A home makeover is not just about choosing finishes and furniture. Although it may seem sufficient, every home needs more than that. It needs personality and soul, and all of these come with time, when things settle naturally, and we feel what fits our decor or not.
I wrote the above with this particular makeover in mind, which inspired a feeling of well-being, comfort, a place I could call home without hesitation. You will surely feel the same after seeing the images.
Today I am describing the makeover of a 2-room apartment with an area of 63 square meters, a space that is easily bohemian, contemporary in style, but also with Scandinavian influences.
An atypical living area
The living room doesn't have a lot of furniture: a sofa, a coffee table, 2 upholstered armchairs, an open-shelf unit to support the television, and next to it, a soldier-type cabinet are the pieces that make up the arrangement. What we find in abundance are decorations, small decorative details, personal items that dress the room and compose the decor in a pleasant way.
It may seem a little messy to you, but I believe that every object has its purpose. It's even more enjoyable this way; you feel like the space is lived-in. Decorative pillows, paintings of different sizes on the walls, vinyl collections, and a few shelves placed on the wall opposite the window for other various belongings of the owners.
Did the lighting fixture catch your eye? It's a wicker basket pendant lamp that, although it seems from another story, has the role of being the distinctive element of a makeover.
I also love the idea of incorporating planters with plants wherever possible: by the window, next to the desk (yes, there is also a work corner that you will be able to see in the photos in the gallery), next to the sofa or next to the furniture towards the hallway. We will also find planters with plants in the dining area, on the table and by the windows.
The kitchen is simple, with a typical Scandinavian layout. With a U-shaped arrangement, you'll find everything you need to cook here. Continuing the furniture, a wallpaper imitating the texture of tree bark was chosen (it's no wonder that a natural motif is associated with the rest of the plants in the house), describing the space that makes up the dining area.
Interesting are also the industrial-style lighting fixtures chosen to describe this space of the house. Although you enter freely from the living room, this arrangement has the ability to shield the cooking space from the rest of the room.
