The after photograph actually looks like a totally different home, as they have completely flipped the room, leaving no resemblance to the décor before.

The walls have been painted an elegant shade of taupe, which is in keeping with Alex and Olivia’s modern four-bed home.
The brand-new furniture and décor items bring a little bit of personality to the grand hallway. On the left-hand side lies a chair laden with cushions and a set of styled-up vintage trunks – a trend that is storming Instagram right now.

The right-hand side of the stairs is kept minimal with aged stone pots on black stands.
There is already one detail that the couple are not happy with though. In the caption, Olivia admits she has already removed the circular rug in the after photo because she found it “too dark” for the room.
