Transforming a Classic Home in Bern: A Modern Living Room for a Timeless Charm
Our latest project brought us to a charming, older home in the heart of Bern. The homeowner, a savvy investor, recently purchased this classic property with plans to renovate it for resale. Our team was brought in to reimagine the interior spaces, providing both a modern design concept and a comprehensive interior furnishing plan to elevate its appeal. Today, we’re excited to take you through the transformation of the living room, a centerpiece in any home.
Before: Embracing the Original Charm
The original living room held undeniable character, with its traditional parquet flooring and expansive windows opening to lush greenery outside. However, the space also had a somewhat dated feel, with dim lighting and unadorned walls. The generous floor plan and natural light were clear assets, but the room needed a modern touch to bring it to life and attract future buyers.
After: A Modern, Inviting Living Space
In our design, we aimed to preserve the room's natural charm while adding contemporary elements to enhance its warmth and functionality. The transformation starts with a fresh, neutral palette, creating a brighter and more inviting atmosphere. Elegant, full-length drapes frame the windows, adding a sense of height and softness to the room.
We introduced a luxurious, modular sofa in soft gray, perfectly positioned to enjoy the view and maximize the space's openness. Opposite the sofa, a sleek TV unit is set against a beautiful marble accent wall, lending a sophisticated focal point without overwhelming the space. The addition of stylish wall art and carefully chosen decor elements enhances the room’s modern look, blending elegance with coziness.
Highlighted Features
Natural Light: We preserved the expansive windows to keep the room filled with natural light, complemented by soft, neutral curtains that add privacy while maintaining brightness.
Marble Accent Wall: This feature elevates the aesthetic of the living room, giving it a touch of luxury that resonates with today’s market trends.
Modern Furnishings: A comfortable, stylish sofa and contemporary coffee table enhance both the visual appeal and functionality of the space.
Our design approach seamlessly blends modern style with the home’s original character, ensuring the space feels both fresh and timeless. This transformation not only adds value but also creates an inviting living room that future homeowners can easily envision themselves enjoying.
We’re thrilled to see how this beautiful space, and the rest of the home, will attract potential buyers in the Bern market. Stay tuned as we continue to reveal more transformations from this exciting project!
