In 2021, the leading lady and her husband became the proud owners of their new apartment. Although the previous elderly owners had kept it in meticulous condition, the space still needed a modern touch, so they decided to take on a full renovation.

With a limited budget, they tackled every update themselves, managing to complete a transformation in just three months.

The entryway was redesigned in soft tones with dark accents. They installed a new front door, and beside it, added an open coat rack and shoe shelf. A large mirror stands just behind these. Opposite the entrance, a cabinet with overhead storage was painted in a rich green hue.

Using the IKEA website, she designed the kitchen herself. Gentle wall tones and a white floor with black tile accents were chosen to complement the furnishings. The doorway once leading to the kitchen now houses the fridge.

Where the living room merges with the kitchen, they set up a cozy dining area. The living room floor was done in laminate, and a deep green wall adds contrast, complementing the corner sofa nearby.

Their little boy, a huge dinosaur fan, inspired the theme of his room. A bed sits by the window, with a study area and bookshelf across from it.

The bathroom’s highlight is a niche where both the washing machine and wall-mounted cabinet fit neatly, leaving plenty of room for the bathtub.
