Host Brooke Channon and the design team work together to re-create the look of the luminous, monochromatic sitting room. The room infuses rich textures and elegant shine to create this Zen retreat.

Transforming the Makeover Room:

The design team transforms a sitting area with a post-collegiate feel into a relaxing tranquil space with the following steps:

Shower curtain panels
  • The transformation began with adding a rich pewter tone to the walls. Next, silk-like shower curtains were added to the windows. Since the carpet color already matched the room’s color palette the design team opted not to use a Tibetan style rug.

  • An ultrasuede sectional with clean lines and custom pillows served as the room’s seating area.
    The homeowner painted a calmer version of the Japanese print found in the Inspiration Room. The design team stenciled a black coffee table to give it a cool texture. The coffee table was then dressed with a rare photography book and flowers.
