Family H. in Nofit had a primary goal: to transform their living room and kitchen spaces. When the growing extended family visits they like to gather together in an area that, prior to the renovation, was restricted by a dividing wall. They sought to create a more open and welcoming space.
In the living room, we made a significant change by removing two small windows and replacing them with a spacious one that faced the inner courtyard. This simple alteration illuminated the internal facade with abundant natural light, making a substantial difference in the overall atmosphere. We re-upholstered the sofas with Nussbaum Upholstery fabrics, in a color similar, but slightly lighter than the previous one.
Furthermore, the old bookshelves, burdened by excessive weight, had collapsed and were difficult to reach. In their stead, the homeowner’s beloved couch found a new and honorable position. As for the books, after careful sifting, I designed a luxurious sideboard that transformed the living room into a more inviting and enjoyable space for relaxation and leisure.
I meticulously crafted the lighting plan, taking into consideration all the elements within the space, including the family’s existing art collection.
To upgrade the guest bathroom, we introduced a solid wood cabinet, a stylish light fixture, and a wall-mounted toilet. We retained the original ceramic elements, maintaining a consistent aesthetic throughout the entire house.
It was a real pleasure to work with a family that values their existing possessions and seeks changes in their living space driven by practical necessity, while also enhancing its aesthetics.
As we enter the new year, my wish for all of us is that we learn to cherish everything we already possess and only make changes when they are genuinely necessary.
And to conclude, here’s a picture of the space prior to, and during the refurbishment:
