What a Wee Makeover can do for your home?

Created by Vinithra Amarnathan on August 9, 2015

One of the common myths of interior decor is that it is expensive, involves a whole lot of buying and is just a tedious process! It has also been thought of as something that is necessary only when you buy homes or redesign your entire home.

At Weespaces we want to make the design process more accessible, more relevant and easier for the customer. We want to dispel the myth that it needs to be time and money intensive.

Good design works towards making a space chic, personal and functional keeping within the constraints of budget, function and your personal needs.

Here is an example of what a simple Wee Makeover can do! Our client in this case was a young family with a toddler. We all know how the clutter that comes along with kids can takeover a space and leave very little room for creativity and design.

When we stepped in we realized the need for organization and creating a functional yet welcoming space. We were low on budget and could invest only in a few pieces of soft furnishings like curtains, rugs, a lamp and an ottoman.  Though the changes might seem small you can see the world of difference they have made to the living room!

As we moved along the family fell in love with their home and their living room again 🙂 And then they decided to add some key pieces of furniture like a new sectional and a media cabinet. You can see how the space has transformed with these changes, but all keeping with the budget and constraints of the client.

And when we hear from the family how much they love their new space, its a joy! Get in touch with us if you want to fall in love with your home again 🙂

Bright and sunny california condo

We started with a blank state and ended with a beautiful relaxed bright space for this young family. Their love for organic modern clearly comes through in the lighter textures and an oversized wood carved art! Functional and chic 🙂

Fun and Playful little boy’s nursery

We had a pretty small space to play with here and some existing pieces to work with. I love how fun and colorful this room turned out….perfect for a little boy! The bright colors against the black and whites in the walls and larger pieces work so well.
