Before and After Living Room Makeover With Bassett Furniture

Sep 20 201819In category Before and After, Home Decor, Room Makeovers

Light-and-bright-living-room-makeover-Bassett-furnitureWe all love a good before and after, don’t we?  Although I haven’t mentioned this, I’ve been working on another project over at my niece’s house the last few weeks.   You may remember we did a budget-friendly makeover of her kitchen last year,  I’ve now moved on to her living room.   My niece is not a fan of the farmhouse style at all so my challenge here was to keep all things rustic and chippy out of her living room makeover.

Here is a before photo of the what I was starting with.

Her old sofa was really worn out, and other than the black bench which I really like, this room didn’t have much going for it.   Those windows are the only windows in the room, so with the gray furniture and dark blue walls, it was looking very dark.

The first thing we did was lighten it up with paint.   I recommended my niece repaint the walls with Sherwin Williams Rhinestone.  We used that in her kitchen and I’ve used it in my daughter’s room.  It’s a very light gray but still contrasts nicely with white trim.  We gave her front door a new coat of shiny white paint as well.

Next up was replacing the furniture,  I found the perfect sectional for her space at Bassett furniture.   I was hoping she would agree to a slightly off-white color to further brighten the space.  When I showed her the Gleason sectional she agreed with me that it would be perfect for her living room.  As you can see, it’s quite a dramatic before and after!

That is my niece’s cat, Spanky Jones.  He was all too happy to pose for some photos, he loves a good before and after too!

Though I did like the black bench she was using as a coffee table it wasn’t going to work with the sectional.  I was envisioning a round cocktail table instead so when I saw the Chelsea Pier round cocktail table I knew that was the one.

We also picked out this Bella Chairside table, I was able to get that approved from my niece even though it has a hint of rustic charm with the slightly distressed finish.  It fits the space so perfectly.  My only regret on that is that we didn’t get two of them!

It pairs so well with the sectional.  I should mention the Gleason sectional can be customized to different configurations & sizes to best fit your space.

I also wanted to cover up some of the old carpets in the room because they were adding to the dark feel of the space before.   My first choice was this floral area rug, but my niece is not a fan of florals, she is more into geometric prints.  She fell in love with this beautiful Roma area rug.  That ended up being the right choice for her living room because it also helps brighten up the room considerably.

When we were planning accessories for the room we were back and forth between using pink and gray or shades of blues.   We first picked these 2 pieces of art called Teal Horizon I and Teal Horizon II.

Shortly after we changed our minds and decided pink and gray would be a fun change considering there was so much blue in this room before.  We did end up using the blue artwork on a side wall as well because we liked it so much.

 

The black lamp on the side table is also from Bassett furniture, you can find that here.

Spanky Jones approves, he’s looking forward to our next before and after which will eventually be my niece’s dining room!

    So many beautiful pieces from Bassett. I didn’t even know that they had such nice modern furniture. You created a wonderful living room for your niece. I’m sure she is thrilled. Pinning for future reference.

    That room is lovely. The only thing i would change is the prints over the sofa. I’d replace them with a large mirror and use them in another space in the room.

      I think also that they’re hung too high! Otherwise, the room is nice and love Sparky Jones!

    This turned out amazing. Sometimes I wonder why some houses look to square and abrupt and some look cozy and pulled together.

    Newbie to your blog….great makeover! Love monochromatic looks and the chic vibe it sends. Ditto on the pictures needing a tweak. The mirror idea is good, it you’d have to see what it reflects from the other side. Can’t wait to see what’s in the pipe for the dining room🧐
