Stunning Property Renovation & Refurbishment of a Family Residence in Hampshire

The family’s dining and lounge area, covering the entire depth of the property, had been knocked through many years ago. The space featured large windows at the front and back, allowing ample natural light to flood in. Despite this, the current décor — heavy on dark wood and leather, with a colonial style — made the room feel outdated and lacking in vibrancy. The property owners were eager to breathe new life into the space and create a modern, inviting room that would complement their existing furniture, flooring and fittings.

As experienced providers of property renovations in Hampshire, we understood the importance of maintaining the room’s character while offering a fresh and contemporary design. The aim was to give the room a brighter, more welcoming feel that could serve multiple purposes: a comfortable space for family relaxation and an elegant area for shared meals and entertaining.

Our work began by carefully clearing out the entire room. The existing heavy wooden furniture had been in place for years, and we took great care to strip away any old features, being mindful of the need to preserve the carpets, frames, and other fixtures. Protective coverings were laid down to ensure no damage occurred during the refurbishment process. Time has taught us that this attention to detail is crucial in any home refurbishment service, as protecting the client’s home is a priority.

Once the room was prepped, we embarked on a really thorough deep clean. One or two areas had been long neglected, hidden beneath the heavy furniture and we ensured that every corner was thoroughly cleaned before we began the renovation work. Cleanliness is key in creating a good base for any redecoration or renovation project, and we made sure the room was in pristine condition before proceeding.

Our goal for the refurbishment was to offer the property owners a selection of modern finishes that would not only enhance the room but also complement the high-quality leather and wooden furniture they wished to keep. Drawing from our extensive experience in renovation and refurbishment, we provided the family with a carefully curated range of colour schemes, all designed to make the most of the room’s natural light and create a warmer, more inviting atmosphere, while retaining a feeling of open space.

After much consideration, the family opted for a simple two-tone colour combination of neutral, warm tones. This very modern palette created an inviting backdrop that worked harmoniously with the existing furniture, allowing the wood and leather elements to stand out in a fresh and vibrant setting, without ever becoming overbearing.

With the colours selected, we began the painting and redecoration process. Our skilled team worked meticulously to apply the chosen shades, paying close attention to every detail. The bright neutral tones transformed the space, instantly making it feel more modern, light and spacious.

The transformation of this open family dining and lounge area was nothing short of dramatic. The choice of colours, paired with the natural light flooding through large windows created a bright and airy space that felt modern yet timeless. Without replacing any existing furniture the heavy colonial-style vibe was replaced with a fresh, contemporary look that still paid homage to the family’s original taste for wood and leather.

As you can see from the before-and-after photos below, the room is now a perfect blend of comfort and style. The once dark and somewhat oppressive space has been transformed into a welcoming room that is at once a cosy family retreat and a place to share meals with guests.

We have to say, we think the neutral tones not only brighten the room but also provide the perfect backdrop for the distinctive furniture, making the room feel cohesive and elegant.
