Laundry Room

In a recent episode of “Rock the Block,” the teams remodeled the entryway and living room areas of their respective houses.

The new color combos in the "after" are bold and unexpected but well-reasoned and well-executed.

It's a two-in-one space!

The bold library wall is a bookworm's fantasy.

No walls were lost in this redo, but lots of light was gained.

You don't have to change every single thing in a space to totally transform the feel of it, and this redo is proof.

It's a totally impressive transformation for just two days of work.

And don't worry, they moved the laundry room elsewhere.

This hard-working space deserves a little design love, too.

Tweaking the layout made a huge difference in the function and style of this laundry room.

Aside from being ultra practical, this redo is gorgeous to boot.

"There are still a few stray big toy items that cannot fit in the drawers or cabinets, but overall it has the perfect mix of functionality, open space, and design I was craving," the homeowner says of the "After."

It just took a little reimagining to help get this laundry room's essentials off the floor.

The new space feels lots bigger, even though it's the same size as before.

It didn't take much to turn this dump spot into a more practical, usable space.

A few small changes made this living room way more welcoming for the whole family.

Before, the homeowner's laundry room "was dark and cold with no windows," she says. Now, it's a black and white beauty. Not to mention, it's much more functional.

The unexpected paint job gives the vintage living room a completely new look.

The space features glimpses of the original brick, which runs three layers deep.

A gorgeous fireplace gets a glam, modern refresh to tie the whole room together.

The original Craftsman details sold this DIYer on her home, but they needed some major restoration work.

These intrepid DIYers looked past the shag carpet to see the beauty beneath.

It's a Spanish, Mediterranean-inspired dream.

The room was fine before, but a bit boring. A few BILLY shelves and a bit of DIY changed that.

The homeowners wanted somewhere that was comfy enough to hang out all the time, but still elegant.

These homeowners saved literal thousands (!!!) with this IKEA dupe for built-ins.

It's become the ultimate lounge spot.

There's no paint on the cabinets — but there is paint in another unexpected space.

This renter's vision for her new pad was "Barbie's 19th-Century Holiday Dream House," and this renter-friendly fireplace wall fits the theme perfectly.

A smart paint job takes this once-boring fireplace front-and-center.

And it's still filled with vintage charm.

Colonial-style houses come with many gifts, like great windows, symmetry, and tall ceilings. But like any place built over 100 years ago, homeowner Katrina’s 1900 Colonial Revival house needed some updating — especially in the living room. While it had large windows, the space felt dark and uninviting because of the old gray carpeting, dark valances, clunky ceiling fan, and striped beige ’70s-era wallpaper.

Let this inspire you to give the weird and underused spaces in your home a new life.

This redo proves the power of color.

The "after" is a breath of fresh air.

It's all happy vibes in the after.

The "after" will make you gasp.

With built-ins and board-and-batten!

Using just one wall of this room to create a laundry setup makes the whole space extra practical for the whole family.

One major difference? Uncovering the original hardwood floors beneath that carpet.

Ben and Erin Napier were up for the challenge.
