Salvador based architects P2 Arquitetos Associados saw this cluttered and dated how transformed into a bright, airy, and comfortable living environment! The makeover is no grandiose feat, but it does what it needs to do: makes the home inviting. 

By refining the colour palette, implementing excellent storage solutions, and organising the space so it flows freely, the design team was able to create dramatic results without a dramatic budget. Don't believe us? Let's take a look at the before and after shots so you can see for yourself and decide what you think…

Before

We were not exaggerating about the clutter! Shoes are strewn about, washing is hung every which way, the furniture is disorganised and ineffective, and the bright colours don't do any favours when it comes to making the space feel smaller and darker than it is. The home was in drastic need of a face-lift, and face-lift it got. Let's take a look at what some careful space planning and a refined aesthetic can do…

After: open plan living

Wow – it's a far cry from the dire state we saw it in before, isn't it? A complete overhaul of the colour palette saw a fresh new look marked by bright whites and neutrals. Bright colours are certainly not eschewed completely, though – the bright geometric cushions add a punch of colour to the space.

The open plan layout sees the kitchen transitions seamlessly into the dining area and then the living room. However, each of these spaces still manages to hold their own identities even with the new freely flowing spatial organisation: the island hems in the kitchen, the floor rug and pendant light anchor the dining table, and the living area takes on a more sparse and open layout. 

Exercise room

The bikes which used to clutter the living space are now carefully mounted on the wall in this exercise space. Instead of the exercise equipment stealing the valuable outdoor deck area, as it did before the makeover, it, instead, finds a compact and tidy home in this timber lined room. It's always hard to make a fitness and storage room look good – but the design team have done pretty well in this instance, wouldn't you say?

Before: outdoor terrace

Here is it in its pre-makeover location. Against the bright yellow walls, the exercise equipment adds to the clutter on the covered deck! The chicken wire makes the space feel more cage-like than a relaxing outdoor space to sit, unwind, and enjoy the summer warmth. 

After: outdoor terrace

Gone with the yellow, gone with the chicken wire, and gone with the exercise equipment! The transformed terrace is a sight to behold. The beautiful timber decking is complimented by equally beautiful outdoor furniture and a subtle and neutral colour palette. With no chicken wire obscuring the views out, one can recline in a timber deck chair and enjoy the open air in a tranquil setting.
