I mean it’s a stunning transformation, but the tree still could’ve stayed put, just sayin. The layout and design would’ve been altered of course, but that would’ve been worth it to avoid chopping down a tree. If anything the tree would’ve been a nice addition. But I do gotta give credit where credit is due, it still looks beautiful.
Lots of homeowners have made renovations or are thinking about doing them whether to enhance the functionality, aesthetics, or value of their properties. Before making any drastic changes, we tried to weigh the pros and cons.
To better understand, we have gathered a list of pros and cons that might help you decide if your plans for a small-scale or complete home makeover are worth pursuing.
When scrolling through these examples, the first thing we notice is obviously aesthetics. This is the primary reason for most renovations, but besides being aesthetically pleasing to the eye, it also increases the property value.
Renovating an old house or an apartment could be a good idea for improving functionality, such as optimizing floor plans, creating additional storage, or modifying layouts. And let's not forget the upgrade to a more energy-efficient home, which will save you money on heating and electricity bills.

Another one with terrible tiles. Does nobody ever consider that this stuff needs to be cleaned?

I wouldn't call demolishing a house and building a new one a "makeover", lol
The cons, as well as the pros, depend on your project, but they all include spending money. The expenses can quickly add up, so to avoid exceeding your budget, careful planning is important.
All renovations require time and can cause disruptions to your daily life, especially if unexpected issues arise. That will require a lot of decision-making, which could lead to stress buildup, as home renovations can be emotionally taxing.
As long as you plan your budget, are mentally prepared, and are willing to navigate through the potential challenges, home renovations can be a rewarding experience. The final outcome of your efforts can transform your living space into a more functional, aesthetically pleasing, and valuable property.

Looks amazing, but do they really normally have the lamp blocking the TV screen? Would get annoying af quickly having to move it each time you want to watch the squint box.

I really like the old design better for practical reasons, it just needed redecoration not a complete make over.

The before wouldn't have been too bad if they would have just picked up all the stuff they left out.

TBH, I liked the 'before' better. They sucked all the color out of the room.

Awesome! At least now I stand half a chance of not falling down the stairs and killings myself.

Yet another "not a renovation" photo. And, BTW, where were the bananas? I had no idea of the scale of most of these.

This is the same room with the book shelves (with Hardy any books on them) and the fireplace… as in the previous post!

I was going to say the same thing. Especially the outside views look like they tore down the old House.

Also it would be much easier to compare before and after if the pictures were taken from the same angle

Meanwhile, I will have to work / save money for another 200 years before I can afford any of those design project.

Most of these were way over the top for me. Too much white, too many mirrors, too many crazy expensive materials. Most just looked like ''Keeping up with the Joneses' and very much like last decade. Maybe it's just me, but with all that's been going on: pandemic, war, energy crisis, climate change I just can't admire huge buildings, waste of space and overexpensive gleaming decor. It's time to scale and tone down, not go over the top with Everything, imo

I do kitchen design for an everyday job at a big company and you will be surprised how many people do white shaker cabinets still. When I get to do color, I'm like a bill in a China shop. People need to not be afraid of color. Do some good colors or incorporate color in your accessories. I think doing a great kitchen on a reasonable budget i.e. 15-25k is going to get you a lot.

I know I'm guilty of being kinda cynical but I don't believe about half of these. Using the same camera angle might have helped. Maybe.

I want to know, was the transformation done by the owners physical labor and design ideas or by professionals? I would like to see some in between shots and not just the ugly start and the beautiful finish. I would like to know how much time it took to go from start to finish.

I don't think that word means what you think it means, BP. Renovating: restoring to a good state of repair, e.g., refinishing wood floor, replacing broken tiles. Remodeling: changing the structure or form of the room(s), e.g., tearing down a wall to make the bath larger. Redecorating: changing mostly things which are in the room but not necessarily part of it, excepting wall paint, e.g., hanging different drapes, updating outlet and switch covers, adding a rug.
