Sophisticated Living Room Transformation

The living room in this newly built home had a coffered ceiling but was otherwise a blank slate in terms of design and decor, and there were the additional layout challenges of a front door and a bedroom door. With five easy DIY projects in one weekend, DIY expert Monica Mangin creates a space that’s both stylish and functional. See the details of this sophisticated living room transformation in this Lowe’s video:

1. Painting the coffered ceiling a dark smoky blue makes the details pop.

2. Creating a plank feature wall with a lower storage unit running the length of the wall adds both style and functionality.

3. A stained 16-foot mantel adds richness and warmth.

4. In the nook, a DIY wall-mounted shelf unit with overhead metal hooks and a USB outlet mirrors the entertainment center and provides a great drop zone

5. Furnishings, accessories, an area rug, a sleek modern fireplace and a globe light chandelier tie the space together.
