Room Makeover Ideas - Beach Condo
I live near Fort Myers Beach and so the majority of my design clients live in the Fort Myers and Beach areas of southwest Florida.
My clients, Amy and Brad, live in the Chicago area and own a condo on the north end of Fort Myers Beach that they use as a rental as well as for their own family.
The condo community is in a very desirable area of the island, so my clients wanted the interior of the home to reflect that.
As you can see, when they purchased this unit there was not a lot of personality to the space. Dated, dark blue carpet, white ho-hum walls, a sofa that got lost in the room...while functional for family, guests and renters, there was not much you could call memorable about the interior of the condo.
After determining the budget - very necessary to the success of any project - we discussed these things:
The first step with room makeover ideas is to figure out how the space will best function. Does the furniture currently in the space make the best use of it? Don't assume that because something is in the space it should stay there.
For example, this living room had a large entertainment center/armoire that was perfectly functional, but it took up a big chunk of visual space. This piece of furniture literally blocked your view of the breathtaking gulf waters as you entered the condo.
Our conclusion was that we still wanted a TV in the living area, but not enclosed in a bulky armoire. That piece had to go.
We discussed the other pieces in the living and dining areas and decided which ones would stay and which pieces would go, a very important part of room makeover ideas.
Amy and Brad decided to keep their dining table, an end table and the coffee table. Their budget would allow for the purchase of new furniture for the rest of the living/dining area.
We discussed the function of each piece; Amy really liked the idea of a leather sofa because of the ability to keep it clean while the place is being used as a rental. So, that was the starting point for the new furnishings.
Second, consider how the current colors in the space enhance or detract from it. Consider the floors, walls, and everything in-between.
This beach condo is not large, and one of our room makeover ideas was to remove the dark blue carpet from the living area, because it made the space look smaller.
We installed a laminate floor that has a light bamboo look to it, and the room instantly became larger!
Then the walls...old, dirty white was just not going to cut it.
When I asked Amy what colors she would like to see in the space she mentioned blues, greens and yellows. So we chose a light golden cream color for the walls, then selected an accent color for the kitchen area in deeper tones that picked up the colors of the granite.
Now came the fun part.
We had the plan for the walls, floors and knew that leather was Amy's preference for the sofa - a sleeper sofa, too. (Remember, it is a rental so we just added sleeping space for two more people).
We wanted to add one more chair to the living area to allow for additional seating. This told me that the two chairs could not be overly large or things could get crowded.
I had lots of fun shopping and selecting the pieces for the living room, implementing the room makeover ideas we had discussed. Fortunately I was able to find a beautiful leather sleeper sofa in a soft shade of green that became the foundation for the other pieces.
Two side chairs were added - one in a cheery stripe that is a wicker rocker/glider, and another colorful floral barrel chair.
We decided on 'chili pepper red' dining chairs and everyone loved the look! Fun, functional and well priced.
What is the last step in redecorating a room? The final touches, of course.
I found some unique lamps and interesting accents for the side tables, coffee table, dining table and a really cool wire sculpture for the wall behind the sofa...those touches are what makes a room truly unique and memorable.
Our room makeover ideas were turned into a reality, and Brad and Amy are very pleased with the results. Their beachfront condo in Fort Myers Beach will truly be a memorable haven for their family as well as guests and clients for years to come.
Til next time,

White Room Decorating Idea
Psychology
Colour psychology is the science behind how we feel in different coloured environments. Green and blue will make us relaxed, red and oranges fire us up and make good colours for rooms where conversation needs to be lively, yellow makes us happy or quite strangely, very argumentative. But what does white mean?
Colour psychology is the science behind how we feel in different coloured environments. Green and blue will make us relaxed, red and oranges fire us up and make good colours for rooms where conversation needs to be lively, yellow makes us happy or quite strangely, very argumentative. But what does white mean?
White is pure, it is clean and crisp, it can be cold but it can also be very comforting. It all depends on what goes with it- which is why people choose it, because they think it goes with everything. But does it?
Ill-thought-through white rooms will look bland, or clinical - or worse still - both. However, there are rules that help make the most of white walls and by using them, white will be at home in any house, be it contemporary, cosy cottage or period.
The right white
There are many different white paints to choose from and while you may be forgiven for thinking this is just a cruel marketing ploy, there is actually a reason. Each white will look different depending on whatever else it is being used with. Some period whites are positively grey but they will look white against other sludgy type colours. A pure white will look beautiful in a south-facing room but use it in a north facing room and it will feel cold and stark. So you see it is important to choose the right white.

Perception
White is frequently used to enlarge the feeling of a room as the eye cannot see the boundaries quite so clearly so the room appears larger. In addition, white has such good reflective qualities that it will bounce the light around, enlarging the room further. This ability to reflect will also bounce back any other colours in the room and might even distort your vision of them. For example, a red feature wall in an otherwise white room will give the white walls a pink glow.

Reflection
Reflection is a wonderful characteristic in a white room and can be enhanced using mirrors and mirrored furniture, gloss painted ceilings, mother of pearl in small details or crystals in grand lighting displays. The distortion that reflection creates adds a new level of interest and this is one of the keys to successful decoration.

Texture
Texture is another way of bringing attention to the right places. A white painted brick wall is far more interesting than a smooth white surface. Add panelling or beading to a plain white cupboard or door and it will immediately gain new character. Texture within the room is also vital. White walls, white curtains and white loose covered furniture will look dull without the complexities of woollen fabrics, hand tufted rugs, Mongolian fur cushions, intricately carved wood panels, shiny wooden floor boards or antiqued chairs and tabletops. All in glorious white.

White plus one
White rooms are very rarely devoid of colour altogether and are very successful when combined with one other colour. Think blue and white like Delftware, or the red and white of a Toile de Jouy, yellow and white has memories of the 60s and black used with white is a classic combination, giving a very sophisticated look to a room - imagine checked black and white floors or better still the stunning styles from the Art Deco period.

Brightly coloured furniture will pop out of a white setting. It could be a single piece with smaller accessories in the same colour to help the eye travel around the room. An Eames desk in primary colours perhaps, with a vase in red, or a bright yellow rug.
Accessories
The final word goes on the final touches and it is here that a white room can really benefit. Brightly coloured accessories will always bring a white room to life, from red and blue canvas floor cushions to cow hide rugs, a framed electric blue butterfly to a freshly cut bouquet of flowers that can be changed weekly to reflect the changing season and how you feel.
