Before: The retired owner of this home is still involved in the business world so she wants a functional yet beautiful home office/den. A 16-foot sloped ceiling is at its highest point above the desk so the wall space needs to be taken advantage of.

After: A desk extension offers more open and closed storage while adding visual height to the high wall. It also allows for more personalization with family photos and special mementos.

Before: The other side of the room is dominated by the large television and the couch could use a coffee table in front of it for when the the homeowner eats/entertains in here.

After: A custom-built cabinet houses the TV so it blends in more and floor-length draperies help balance the high wall on the opposite side while adding softness at the same time.
Hosts Matt Fox and Shari Hiller breathe new life into an ordinary den. A customized television surround, new furniture and window treatments are just a few of the projects in this room. Fox and Hiller prove that it's the details that transform this den from ordinary to extraordinary.
