Design for Your Family From Design Star 3 Challenge

By Vern Yip

Of all of the room transformations this week, Matt’s room was the most difficult in terms of issues to resolve. Because of the need to preserve — and hide — a generous amount of storage, a sink area and a large piece of equipment, Matt has to contend with creating a dramatic and beautiful space while maintaining functionality. True to form, Matt again comes up with some innovative solutions that turn his challenges into winners. By creating a television/media wall in this room, and putting it on casters, the large piece of equipment in this space can still be accessed when needed without having to be consistently viewed. A bold sweep of drapery, in a similar tone to the wall color, hides storage and the sink area, allowing the rest of the room to be outfitted with seating.
