Adult-Sized Tunnels

Secret tunnels lead to a rustic hobbit house play area inside a sweet Swiss chalet's attic. Making use of every nook and cranny in the space, the designers created a warm, cozy environment for the homeowners and their children to read, play and nap. Surrounded by soft area rugs, wood-paneled walls and magical fairy garden accessories, the family could lose themselves in these secret pathways for days.

An Indoor-Outdoor Oceanic Ambiance

Saturated wallpaper (made with alcohol ink) creates a one-of-a-kind accent wall, while the long white curtains on either side create balance. Glass table lamps add functionality without contrast. A yellow blanket and decorative pillow bring additional color into the new suite.

Secret Passageways

Lil Jon and Anitra designed this basement with both fun and function in mind. Luxury vinyl floors span the new space, and a custom wooden cabinet houses a collection of guitars. Secret panels open to reveal a hidden pass-through into the unfinished storage area at the end of the basement.

A Funky-Fresh Hallway

The designers created an immersive floor-to-ceiling experience in this home’s hallway. Electric blue paint coats the walls, and, paired with coils of LED neon lights, bring a funky feel to the space. Lil Jon and Anitra also installed an arched doorway and cut windows into one of the walls for a view into the adjoining room.

Adventure-Ready RV Upgrades

Extensive updates to a family’s mobile RV home made it easier for them to travel in comfort. From beneath the livable space of the RV, a custom grill, induction cooktop, utensil storage and countertops emerge for outdoor meal prep. When the meal is over, the sliding unit retracts.

Home Away From Home

Inside the RV, the designers added rustic touches, wood paneling and high-end finishes (like the stainless steel sink and faucet). The family’s favorite cutting boards hang from the kitchen walls for a touch of nostalgia, while new features, including a custom-wrapped flat-screen television, make the space modern.

Lit-Up Shelving

The design team installed open wooden shelving over a hand-glazed tile backsplash for extra storage in a remodeled kitchen. To add ambiance, they put LED light strips into recessed tracks on the underside of each shelf. Now, the homeowners can display their favorite dishes and cookware.

At-Home Play Zone

A rock wall, secret tunnels, sky-high rope nets and a two-story slide transform this once unused area of a home into a thrill-filled play zone for a family with young kids. A series of large skylights flood the room with natural light. Fostering a love for adventure, these parents embraced Lil Jon's equally adventurous vision and created fun, unique features in the home.

A Tuned-Up Piano

An upcycled piano acts as a wall-mounted bar shelf in this remodeled home. What you can't see: The designers installed the pedals from the piano near the floor. A rustic bar table and chairs built on bronzed industrial pipe bases round out the edgy speakeasy, while mirrored glass pendants amplify the cozy-cool feel.

A Velour-Wrapped Statement

Lil Jon and Anitra deliver a huge, luxurious sofa to a room perfect for entertaining. Industrial pendants deliver a moody ambiance, while deep maroon-colored walls reflect the recessed lighting and create a suave atmosphere for late-night hangs. Marble-topped tables provide extra space for appetizers and drinks.

Closet Turned Wine Cellar

This wine storage space was a closet before Lil Jon and Anitra got their hands on it. Now, surrounding a newly installed wine fridge, custom shelving (sitting at various angles) allows extra room for bottles of red wine. A marble slab makes for the perfect spot to prepare drinks.

Wrap-Around Shelving

Sage green walls, medium-toned wood floors and natural wood accents come together in this moody main bedroom retreat. The designers created a floor-to-ceiling shelving unit with open spaces for featured items and hidden doors to conceal clutter. A hanging rattan chair offers boho comfort, and a six-drawer dresser beneath the television displays artwork when not in use.

A Play Room Circuit With a Soft Landing

A graffiti-flooded fun room incorporates all the elements a kid needs to have fun. From wall- and ceiling-mounted bars, rings and handles to a full-size foam pit crash pad, Lil Jon and Anitra thought of everything. Placed atop the hardwood floors, green carpeting is cut to mimic grassy patches. Soundproofing panels blanket the ceiling to isolate the audio of this energetic space.

Dance Party Fun

The ultimate Lil Jon statement: A vibrant nightclub — complete with a large disco ball, a bar and countless neon lights — sits in the basement of this home. Tall back-lit panels add an ornate touch while the high-gloss floor treatment (reflective and easy to maintain) adds to the clubby ambiance.

Bold in Blue

Lil Jon and Anitra pushed these homeowners out of their comfort zone by introducing rich blue cabinetry in their kitchen. They left the ceiling beams exposed and added wood floors and a wood-framed hood vent to complement the space's natural palette. For a softer touch, the butcher block island countertop boasts rounded corners and curved edges.
