Before and after: a room for a teenage boy

Having your own room is great. But having a great room is a completely different thing. Have a look at the room of ten-year-old Kipras and you’ll see how unrecognizably it has changed after the makeover made by our interior designer Kotryna.

Before the renovation

Old pieces of furniture that do not fit a boy's room, gloomy colours, a creaking sofa instead of a bed, a wardrobe that threatens to tip over at any moment, and several chests of drawers to accommodate everything from clothes to board games to school items... There is so much in this room, but none of the above fits the needs of a child turning into a teenager. What are those needs, you ask?

We need to find a place for Kipras’ hobbies, personal belongings and sports awards, create a comfortable place to study and invite friends, and most importantly – to fit everything in a small space without overloading the room. Interior designer Kotryna was more than happy to take on this challenge.

Three rooms in one

When planning the upgrade for Kipras’ room, our interior designer was mostly inspired by his hobbies. The boy attends Japanese martial art called kendo and spends a lot of time gaming. Kotryna is a gamer herself, so this task was just for her. She decided to change every corner of the room, from colours to furniture to atmosphere. To make the new room both modern-looking and comfortable to live in, Kotryna divided its space into three areas: one for work, one for sleep and one for storage.
