This is a great exercise for any home: imagine decorating your existing space first on a small budget (as most of us do!) and then on an ideal budget. Although the end results of each will look very different, both can look fabulous in their own way, just like these two design visuals for the same space by Boris Alexandrov. Option one gives the open plan layout an IKEA style makeover, complete with chunky dining chairs, cheerful accents, and flat weave area rug. The second option is a much more plush affair with a completely different atmosphere. You can almost hear the acoustics of the room softening with the addition of deeper lounge chairs, heavier curtains and designer wool rug.
