Makeover Magic...

Just came across these great "before and after's" on the Domino Magazine website. It's always inspiring to see how a space can be changed with a coat of paint or updated furniture and accessories.

Makeover of the week, fortnight, month...

Before of Attic from Point Click Home

A couple of weeks ago I said that we here at Porchlight Interiors would show our favourite makeover of the week. Well I'm not that organised to make such promises so lets just call it our makeover of "whenever we feel like it". This attic was from Point Click home by designer Candice Olsen.

Before

There are many pretty blues out there but this is what I like to call "ugly blue". Almost any colour change would be an improvement on this.

After

Agh! That's better, I can breath again! The cream with the softer duck egg blues is so much calmer to look at.

After

Love the bit of lime green added in also - so fresh! It's great to see small spaces being so well utilised - it takes a clever designer to pull it together without the room looking cluttered.

Makeover of the Week

There is nothing we love more at Porchlight Interiors than a good makeover. With a few small changes, and in such as short time, a room can take on a whole new look and feel which is so satisfying to see. For this reason, we thought it would be a good idea to include a weekly makeover post. This first one is a Manhatten appartment belonging to Elizabeth Fiore and styled by Lance Boyd found on O at Home website. Hope you enjoy...

What a difference! It's amazing how decluttering, rearranging furniture and adding beautiful accessories make such a big impact. Adding some colour with the floor rug and soft blue curtains has turned a boring room into a room with simple, classic style.
