Full Room Transformation: How We Updated a 30-Year-Old Space in Salt Lake County

Sometimes, a room in your home just needs a little TLC to go from outdated to outstanding. That’s exactly what we did with this 30-year-old add-on space in Salt Lake County. From new flooring to fresh paint, updated hardware, and more, Rent A Dad transformed this room into a modern, functional, and beautiful space. If you’ve been putting off updating a room in your home, this before-and-after will inspire you to take the leap!

The Problem: A Dated, Neglected Space

This room was an addition built nearly 30 years ago, and it showed. Here’s what we were dealing with:

  • Outdated Aesthetic: The room felt stuck in the past, with old paint, worn-out flooring, and dated fixtures.

  • Worn Surfaces: The walls, ceiling, and trim were scuffed and faded, while the concrete floor was cold and uninviting.

  • Lack of Functionality: The room wasn’t living up to its potential, with no TV mount, outdated ceiling fans, and no window treatments.

The Solution: A Complete Room Transformation

At Rent A Dad, we love a good challenge—and this room was no exception. Here’s how we brought it into the 21st century:

  1. New Hardware: We updated the cabinet and door hardware with modern, sleek designs.

  2. Fresh Paint: The walls, ceiling, doors, and trim were painted in a fresh, neutral palette to brighten the space.

  3. Enclosed Blinds: We added enclosed blinds to the exterior doors for privacy and light control.

  4. New Window Blinds: Custom blinds were installed on the windows to match the room’s new aesthetic.

  5. Fireplace Hearth Update: The fireplace hearth was refreshed to become a focal point of the room.

  6. TV Mounting: We mounted a TV for entertainment and convenience.

  7. LVP Flooring: Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring was installed over the bare concrete, adding warmth and style.

  8. Ceiling Fan Upgrade: Outdated ceiling fans were replaced with modern, energy-efficient models.

  • Added Value: A well-designed, updated space can increase your home’s overall value.
