The best of home restorations: 9 very successful make-over projects to be amazed by
There is something absolutely fascinating about seeing how, in the right hands, a space can be transformed to become completely unrecognizable (in a good way, of course). We are frequently surprised by cases in which only a few superficial interventions can change the appearance of interiors and exteriors, but when it comes to radical renovations and makeovers, the effect is even more stunning.
There is an Instagram (IG) account that carefully selects all the best cases of this kind of major transformation, showing the before and after of each restoration project. It's called "Before And After Design" and below we show you some of the most incredible works that have been published.
IMPORTANT: To view the projects both before and after the renovations, you need to browse the Instagram photos using the arrows which are on the sides of each picture. Click here to see this popular IG account. Enjoy the viewing!
As the starting point, this house was already very nice, and we can imagine it was also nicely illuminated with its large windows. But being able to come up with a way of making it even more attractive and airy - using all the skills in the architect's drawer - is truly incredible.
Sometimes, however, the photos on this IG account show houses or rooms that were initially so dilapidated that you would be forgiven for doubting that they could be restored. But just click on the arrows to be amazed by what the various design studios envisaged and achieved. It is absolutely true that a good idea can transform anything for the better.
Brighter, more modern, welcoming: this structure has been left intact in its general format, but which from dullness and gloom, has become worthy of being put in an architecture magazine. Doesn't it make you wonder what transformations would be possible in your home, by using properly planned, well-chosen restoration methods?
The transformations are not limited to only exteriors: even badly laid-out / designed rooms inside homes make their appearance in the feed of this IG account.
Some "before and after" projects start from interiors so disastrous that they make you want to give up before even attempting to start a make-over!
Even without the rubble, this bathroom did not seem to have the potential of becoming beautiful, especially considering its very small size. But it was possible!
We may find ourselves asking "but is this really the same house?" And maybe we go back and forth between the before and after photos to find all the improvements that have been made (and those that have remained the same). And who knows, maybe this is the right way to come up with the ideas that are used to revolutionize a home!
Courtyards are another area of a property that can hold big surprises, and when laid out in the right way, courtyards can add enormous value to the entire home, making it much more pleasant to live in.
Sometimes make-overs are inspired by the original features of the house - the position, the style, for example - and then these are updated with a modern approach (and modern materials), but without however betraying the original look and feel of the building. These are the most successful renovations!
Take a look at the IG account: you will also find all the information on who the architects of the various restorations were!
