Lawyers Lori and Zareh Sinanyan are deadlocked on designing their outdated den. They've been able to redesign all the other rooms in their home without any disagreements, but when it comes to the most used room in the house, the couple just can't find a compromise. Lori prefers warm and vibrant colors while Zareh wants a more neutral theme throughout the den. Host and interior designer Michael Payne and interior designer Lisa LaPorta help the Sinanyans reach a home-decorating verdict that is sure to please for years to come.
