Junk Room Turned Cozy, Bright Family Room Makeover | Living Room Ideas | The Home Primp

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Do you have a corner (or, let’s face it - a room) in your house that’s reserved for things you just don’t have anywhere else to store? We’re here to help. In this week’s Home Primp, we collaborated with lifestyle vlogger Elle Lindquist whose loft space was a cluttered dumping ground without any real function. She wanted a space where her family could kick back and relax and also double as a place for guests to stay overnight. After getting rid of the pool and foosball table, there was such a bright, open space for us to work with. We set out to create a living room/guest room/playroom hybrid.
Using removable wallpaper, Alexandra created an accent wall. She also hung a mantle that belonged to Elle’s dad, which instantly made the space feel more like a living room.
And can we talk about that couch?! This brought the primp’s cost up but for a couch that folds down into a double bed for guests, $400 is a pretty sweet deal.
Alexandra used an Ikea bookshelf as a window seat and storage unit in the boys’ play area. She turned fabric plant pots (!) that cost $4 embellished with pom poms (what else) into baskets to organize their toys.
The result? A few key items turned this storage space into a beautiful, bright and airy living room - for under $1000.
Questions or ideas for the Home Primp series? Comment down below or send Alexandra a message on Instagram @alexandragater.

    Nice spaxe but you could have done it for less than $100 if you searched at thrift stores and garage sales. I’m glad you used some things that were already there, and i appreciate the curtain separating dan’s space. But if i had $1000 lying around well, it would go much further than 1 room. What happened to the couch bed canadian tire gave you after the flood? Anyway, great ideas but for those on smaller budgets, we can mimic them for much cheaper. Thanks.

    Chatelaine hey, yes, my biggest tip is patience! I use sites like freecycle.org, Craigslist and Facebook marketplace. You can go to habitat for humanity’s physical store called ReStore and I know they have those in Canada. And just ask around. Watch for “curb alerts” on Facebook groups and go to community garage sales. I’m not very picky about scratches and debts bc with 4 kids, there will be more. I got this gorgeous writers desk with a roll top and huge drawers for $50 last year in prime condition. Those things sell for like $500 or more. And I do my shopping from home mostly, so I don’t see many bargains in store. My other tip is just to be flexible with what style of furniture you want if you are going to be thrifty. I have preferences, but am willing to have my mind changed if I see something. I hardly buy anything brand new. I’m a homeschooling mom, and don’t bring in any income so we have learned to live within a budget most wouldn’t even try. It’s just our reality. I’d rather spend $500 on field trips through the year than on a new couch. What you put together is lovely and somewhat thrifty. I would buy cheaper picture frames at Walmart or meijer for example instead of going to Michaels or hobby lobby. I hope the boys are enjoying their new space though. And again, I love how Dans stuff is cornered off and Elle can’t see how disorganized it is. The man needs his own space sometimes to suit his personality. I’m glad you had fun putting it together. Enjoy!

    I don't know. I watched several makeover videos on this channel and none of them is really good. Why pink? Do pink, green and yellow really work together? Well, not in this case. Couch doesn't look comfy and those throw pillows... They don't match at all. You should mountain The curtains a little higher so the window looks bigger. I also have a question about the floor lamp. There's no sitting area near the lamp,so why bother yourself buying it? Why didn't you place it by the couch? It's not functional. The whole design looks weird and cheap, and it's for 1000$. If I paid for it I would ask my money back.
