Aired on: August 28, 2008October 9, 2007

Kristan Cunningham works wonders to transform Rach's green rooms from ordinary guest waiting areas to ultra-hip, home-away-from-home hangouts. Some of the methods she used can be used by anyone who's looking to spruce up a room in their home:

  • Scale furniture to the size of the room. If you have a small room, don't crowd it with big furniture.

  • One large graphic element adds maximum impact.

  • Place furniture practically as well as aesthetically. Do not place a sofa right inside the doorway -- it is crucial that people sitting on the sofa not think that they're in the path of the door.

  • Use dark colors in small rooms. A lot of people think dark colors will make a room look smaller, but they actually make the walls appear to recede.

  • Neutral colors soften extreme wall patterns.

Special thanks to Hailey Development Group for helping Kristan with all the labor to make the green rooms look amazing, using supplies from the following companies:

InterfaceFLOR - provided the new carpet tiles that you can actually lay down yourself.
