Today, we are going to visit South Korea where design professionals Roha took a tired apartment and transformed it into a stylish and chic home that is sure to be highly sought after.

In fact, as we explore this home today, we will see how little improvements here and there can change the whole look and feel of a home, converting it from boring to incredibly savvy.

The thing about renovations is that it is a chance for a new start, while still utilizing the strength and beauty of an old building. This allows a wonderful evolution to occur, allowing the home owner the best of both worlds.

Let's take a look at this fabulous before and after!

Before: A sad state

In this image, we can see how the living space of the home before the intervention was very old and run down. 

The floors are run-of-the-mill yet in fairly good condition, but the walls and ceiling are yellowing and dull. The stickers stuck all over the front door aren't attractive either.

The ceiling light is very bright and neon, creating an uncomfortable, clinical ambiance throughout. There is meant to be a beautiful and refreshing soft glow in your home, not a spotlight!

Have a look at these dazzling lighting ideas for modern homes to see what we mean.

Before: Outdated wallpaper

If we move through the home before the designers intervened, we can also see how the walls feature very old-fashioned wallpaper, which makes this home look very visually unattractive. The walls are an opportunity to showcase modern trend, personality and charm, yet these walls fall very short.

The furniture in this space is also shabby and outdated, which does nothing to enhance the space. There is also no flow, making the rooms feel very cramped and crowded.

Before: The tiny kitchen

In this image, we get a sense of how small the kitchen is as well as how little room there is in this part of the home. There is so much space being wasted with all of the walls and doors featured in this area!

We can also see that there is no design scheme here at all. The furniture seems to have been thrown into one space haphazardly.

Do you see how dark the rooms look, despite the natural light because of all of the walls and doors constricting this space?

After: Modern and minimalist

The living space has been completely transformed!

It now features white walls and light wooden floors, creating a very clean, light, bright and minimalist look and feel. The furniture featured in this space is also functional and trendy, without cluttering or crowding the space. Don't you love how the dark wooden television cabinet contrasts beautifully with the light wooden floors?

The lighting in this space has also been replaced with a much more stylish counterpart. This light provides the room with plenty of light, without looking too harsh. It also radiates off the light colour palette, making this space feel very sleek and spacious.

After: Open plan

The home now features a more open plan, with the rooms flowing into each other, while still remaining separate in their functionalities. 

You'll also notice that there is plenty of storage space in this new and improved apartment. Cupboards, drawers and shelves ensure that linen, clothes and other personal items can be stored neatly away. This means less clutter throughout the interior, creating a much more spacious and expansive home.

The furniture has been replaced with lightweight, modern and chic pieces that instantly create a much more aesthetically appealing and functional apartment.

After: Very functional

The kitchen is far more savvy post-renovation, with the designers making the most of the small space available to them. There is also a cohesive design scheme now!

A tiled grey wall brings in a bit of texture and tone to the space, while the wooden breakfast bar subtly separates the space from the rest of the living area without disturbing the flow. Tiling is wonderful for a kitchen as it is easy to clean, cheap on the budget and stylish too!

Like in the rest of the home, you'll also notice that only the most functional of items are on display. This keeps the room looking very stylish and minimalist. 

After: The charming bedroom

The bedroom is calm with its beautiful blue accent wall. 

The light blue tones contrast beautifully with the light wooden furniture and white walls. It's a very serene and tranquil place that makes the most of natural light.
