Nestled in the tranquil neighborhood of Alapraia, Estoril, this T5 villa was a hidden gem in need of a fresh vision. Left by its German owners with remnants of a busy life, the home was filled with belongings and in need of updates to reach its full potential. Home Staging Portugal was entrusted with bringing this property to life, preparing it for the luxury market using our Transformation Package. The villa is now listed for sale at €1.5 million euros, a fully transformed residence that feels spacious, inviting, and thoughtfully designed for modern living.
Bringing Harmony to the Living Spaces
Living Room: This generous room was divided into three distinct areas, each with its own character and functionality.
• Garden-Facing Area: We kept the owners’ existing sofa, complementing it with our own decor pieces to enhance the area without overwhelming it.
Before & After:
• Fireplace Nook: We created a cozy, intimate space by adding a sofa and comfortable armchairs around the fireplace, making it an inviting area for quiet moments or gatherings by the fire.
Before & After:
By repainting all ground-floor walls in a warm beige, we unified the spaces, making the living area feel remarkably larger and more open.
Before & After:
• Pool-Facing Area: Here, we introduced a coastal-inspired color palette, styling the space with light, airy hues to draw in the beauty of the pool and garden views, creating a relaxing and expansive atmosphere.
Before & After:
Staircase: Originally painted white , the staircase felt visually boring. We painted it in a neutral tone that matched the walls, bringing cohesion and elegance to the room.
Kitchen Transformation: From Cold to Cozy
The kitchen, initially stark with a black-and-white design, felt cold and uninviting. To soften and warm the space, we added wooden shelving and farmhouse-inspired decor, instantly making it feel more approachable. These simple yet impactful additions balanced the boldness of the kitchen, creating a cozy ambiance that invited buyers to imagine it as the heart of the home.
Before & After:
Transforming Bedrooms into Restful Retreats
Office: Formerly a children’s room with a broken closet, we reimagined this space as a home office. We removed the old closet and added a cupboard in the niche, complementing it with wooden shelves for a sophisticated, functional workspace.
Master Bedroom: With stunning views of the green hills, the master bedroom needed only subtle enhancements to bring out its full potential. We added a cozy chair and introduced a green table lamp to match the stunning view, styling it as a luxurious yet serene retreat.
First Guest Room: Once a children’s bedroom, this space was given new life with a fresh coat of paint and staging with a queen-sized bed. We opted for a neutral palette with a pop of color to keep the room sophisticated yet inviting.
Before & After:
Second Guest Room: Originally a storage area with a broken closet, this room needed a complete transformation. We replaced the closet doors, repurposed an IKEA shelving unit to create a walk-in closet effect, and staged the room with a queen-sized bed, turning it into a chic and functional guest space.
Before & After:
Before & After:
Bathrooms: To make the bathrooms feel welcoming and cozy, we styled each one with simple yet luxurious decor touches that enhanced the overall warmth and appeal of the home.
Mediterranean-Inspired Outdoor Space
In the outdoor dining area, we swapped the old table and black chairs for a Mediterranean-inspired setup, bringing in light colors and a relaxed style that complemented the villa’s coastal surroundings. The new setup invites buyers to envision outdoor meals and leisurely afternoons by the pool in a private, serene oasis.
