One big family feast: an affordable combined kitchen and dining space
Take simple storage, flexible dining furniture and astonishingly low prices. Stir well to mix, and you have the makings of this multigenerational family’s combined kitchen and dining space.

Home Office for a couple
Agnese and Mārtiņš live in an apartment in Ogre and the room they have decided to renovate is their shared Home Office. The one who decided to take part in the makeover show was Agnese, as she spends here more time. Agnese admits that this room has long been a victim of "it's ok" attitude when everybody knows that something needs to change but none can be bothered to actually do something. But now this has to change.
Ask a designer: creating a bold, black and white home on a budget
“What are some ways that I can improve my home without spending a lot of money?" When interior designer Mia Gustafsson created this bold family apartment, sticking to a tight budget was her top priority. From furnishing with simple basics to accessorising with light, she shares some of the money-saving ideas that brought this home to life.
Harmony inside and out: a living-room makeover for a family
Which is the most important room besides the kitchen? The living room of course! In this family of five it is a hub of different activities, where the parents Aija and Jānis rest after work, the three children play with their toys and the whole family watches TV, plays chess and spends time together. Their living room is the last room in the apartment that has been left unrenovated, and Aija feels that the time is ripe for it to shine in a new decor.

Layered with plants and personal collections, it’s hard to believe that this inspiring space was pulled together on the tightest of budgets!
A garage, a library or a room for hobbies?
Meet Oskars, Ilva and young Kārlis – a small family ready for a big change. The room they have chosen for the makeover is mainly Oskar's turf: it is here he pursues his hobbies and spends much of his leisure time. If anything, Oskars is a most versatile personality: a microbiology graduate, IT specialist and aspiring drummer and opera-singer, he does not shy away from any challenges. Yet, the challenge of organising the former garage/library into a full-fledged hobby room has been just too time-consuming until now.
A hallway for smooth takeoffs and landings
Get ready for the day without delays – like the bathroom being busy – by kitting out the hallway right outside with everything you need. Hallway furniture, storage, mirrors and lighting make a runway to get everyone set for departure.

Why not start by bringing some warm and cosy feeling into your living room?
