Room Makeover - #RiseToTheChallenge

A while ago I was offered the chance to do up a room of a relation or elderly person I knew. Originally I had planned to spruce up my grandmas lounge for a surprise but the surprise leaked and my grandma decided that it would be better to do someone more in need. I asked around our village and we have an lovely older couple who help out throughout the village, in schools, scouts and anywhere anyone needs a helping hand. We knew that had been saving up hard to do up their lounge and thought this might be a lovely way to give back.

I took inspiration from a cushion I knew was very much loved in the lounge and chose the colours of the room around this and the colours in their much loved garden.

Here are some of the befores.

And the afters….

We had a lovely budget to work with but they had such wonderful neutral walls we didn’t feel the need to splash out on paint. As you can see the gorgeous touches of pink now added in the neutral room really bring the room together and is so much cosier. We were lucky to find thermal lined curtains in the sale and I love that this will help reduce their heating bill later in the year.

The couple couldn’t believe what we had done for them and adored it from the moment they walked through! Even a fortnight on I still get phone calls where they have spotted something different or just to let me know how much more comfortable they are and how much they love their home now. The company who offered me the budget to be able to do this is a fabulous riser recliner company, called Fenetic Wellbeing. A lovely twist to this story is that couple in question have been saving up for a riser chair to help hip and back problems and this will allow them to get it more quickly and add a little more comfort and luxury to their life after helping out so many people!
