Before + After: Modern Condo Design Makeover

January 31, 2016

Since a picture is worth a 1,000 words, I thought it best to show you this makeover through the images and drawings we used to create this modern family condo. This newly constructed building had lots of wonderful natural light and my clients chose top of the line finishes for their brand new kitchen. Yet, there was still a lot to be desired in the beige rectangular floor plan. We worked together to design a modern and eclectic living and dining area that feels a little warm, a little bohemian and little bit mid-century!

BEFORE

Just moved in and the long living space was giving them a tough time of where to arrange furniture.

Lots of beige that needed some attitude!

There was a great dining table and sofa to work the room design around. The existing rug was repurposed in a bedroom.
