Sir, I be architect. He is right.

What makes you think you have the right to give a verdict by just saying “I be architect?”

When did Architects start dealing with the interior design of a room beyond he space planning?

When did Architects start dealing with the interior design of a room beyond he space planning?

Interior design goes beyond space planning. While architects often consider spatial layout, interior designers focus on how a space functions, feels, and is experienced through finishes, lighting, furniture, materials, and overall aesthetics. The two professions complement each other.

We recently completed this living room transformation for a client, and the difference was amazing.

The goal was to give the space a more modern and clean look while keeping it comfortable for everyday living.

Swipe through the photos to see the before and after.

Which version do you prefer—the before or the after? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I guess the before section where the curtain is his bedroom, and now that you’ve turn it to where his tv is, na wia guy man go dey sleep 😁😁

Jozilinn:
After looks great kudos for the decorations it's looking classy

That one is classy?

Chai. Osi o ma daa o.

It’s good to be exposed o. The owner and you need exposure to real world of interior decoration. You also need money.

Na mosquito he furnished the room for - from the blue light to the curtain to the slats he used for console.

Try and google how a room of that dimension is furnished abroad and then compare it with this one furnished like ìgbàlè (room where masquerades go into to change clothes).

No worries. Interior design isn’t one-size-fits-all. What looks like “ìgbàlè” to one person is another person’s dream space. Thankfully, clients choose what suits their style and budget.

That’s the living room, not the bedroom. The transformation was done in the sitting room, so nobody lost their sleeping space. 😄

This is not a matter of one-size-fits-all thing but you should be able to advise and convince your client about color combinations, space management, and esthetics.

People won’t blame your client. They will blame who did the design. It is not every job you take.

Probably you are just starting out in interior decoration biz or probably your niche is poor and unexposed people.

The client must come from an olójè family.

Thank you for your feedback. Every project is designed around the client’s preferences, budget, and functional needs. My role is to guide and advise, but the final decision always rests with the client. Not every design will appeal to everyone, and that’s perfectly fine.

Thank you! That was exactly the goal—to transform the space from dull and lifeless into a warm, inviting living room. Glad you noticed the difference.

Wow!!!, that’s commendable then…9ce one👌

Oga thank but but no thanks
So if he doesn't have what you generalise as good should he kpai someone will do something no matter how small just a little appreciation or encouragement is nothing from people like you so he should go and do ritual to furnish his apartment. Not everyone is you if you don't like it pass and don't insult

Op the room looks great at least you're not leaving in a house that is leaking or with deeps holes inside you have a TV and also a tiled ground. Many people live under the bridge and some don't have a home. When God blesses you you will definitely do more.

Furnished abroad are we abroad see the useless mentality you have. Whether abroad or Nigeria what matters is that he's comfortable where he's. How many Nigerians living abroad are living in a classy room some are in containers even their rooms are smaller yet you'll comparing someone to an abroad house. So he cannot cut his coat to his size again.

If you have a younger brother that want to furnish his apartment and he cannot afford your lifestyle abeg fund the house and if you have one that's doing great with a good apartment thank God no be everyone be like you.
Shalom 🙏🏼

Thank you! I truly appreciate it. More transformations coming soon. 😊

Lol

Nigerians are funny people sha.


Is the TV console not bigger than the Television itself?


I prefer the before.

Which one is before and which one is after

Kalulu44:
Which one is before and which one is after

Is very easy to know
The first picture is the before then the other one is the after

I know, I am just surprise people are saying they choose the before

😂 I was surprised too. Different strokes for different folks. As long as the client is happy, that’s what counts.

NaijaNaWaa:
For crying out loud, what is disco light doing in the living room? Where did we get this sickening idea of plastering our living rooms with all the colors of the rainbow? Why are Nigerians getting increasingly unimaginative in building and interior decor?

Respectfully, this is not a disco effect. It is a statement chandelier with different warm light tones used to create a luxurious and welcoming atmosphere.

Design is subjective
some people prefer minimalism, while others enjoy adding character and personality to their spaces. The beauty of interior design is that there is room for different styles. 😊

GloriousGbola:
You need to stop mixing different light colours. All you need for a living room is warm white

Not all this night club blue mixed with daylight mixed with cool white mixed with warm white

The bare bulb above the fan also spoils any effect.

Thank you for your feedback. Lighting design is not limited to only one colour temperature. Different lighting tones can be layered intentionally to create depth, warmth, and different moods in a space.

The chandelier used here has its own lighting effect, and the final look depends on the client’s taste and the atmosphere they want to create. Interior design is about creating spaces that reflect different personalities and preferences. 😊

Keme4Real:
Nice job. Na you go do my gateman house be dat.

😂 We transform spaces, not titles. Whether it’s a mansion or a small home, everyone deserves to enjoy a beautiful space. Thank you for appreciating the work. 🙏✨

runsapp:
Omo money na the antidote wey I need o.

😂 Money is important o, but creating a comfortable and beautiful home is also part of enjoying the blessings. We pray for bigger wins and beautiful spaces ahead 🙏✨

Vatican62:
This is really nice , that's if it's not AI

😂 Thank you. It’s actually a real transformation done by our team, not AI. Every detail you’re seeing was carefully selected and installed to bring the client’s vision to life. 😊✨

McLizbae:
All these lights... Na when una wan manage install small one battery inverter setup you go understand the effects.

Thank you for your observation. Lighting design is not only about brightness, it’s also about creating the right mood and ambience for a space.

Of course, power considerations are important, and every design should be planned based on the client’s lifestyle and needs. A beautiful home and practical solutions can go hand in hand. 😊

Cousin9999:
Why do people want all these LEDs in their house?

Like, if you're at the house eating snacks and what not, you want all this glowing? 😂 For what? Toothbrush, glowing. Couch, glowing. 🤣 Pack of peanuts, glowing. 🤣 Toilet paper, glowing. Stop it.

Don’t worry, we haven’t reached the stage of glowing peanuts and toilet paper yet. The idea is to enhance the beauty of the space, not turn the whole house into a nightclub. 😄✨

Well done!
