Fall in Love With Your Living Room (Again)
On Property Brothers: Forever Home,Jonathan and Drew Scott aren’t interested in matchmaking and meet-cutes. The homeowners they’re helping are already all in — they just don’t feel the sparks that once flew in their spaces. These living room revamps are all about rekindling those sparks; you might say they’re the interior-design version of relationship therapy. Take notes on your favorite tricks, and take them home to make your heart go pitter-pat.
Drew and Jonathan created storage opportunities in this split-level home by flanking the vintage fireplace with a pair of industrial-inflected units that display and conceal without adding visual weight. As an alternative to custom cabinetry around the hearth, they’re a budget-minded homeowner’s dream.
A massive sectional like this one would swallow a standard coffee table whole. In turn, pairing it with a single, oversized piece that matched its scale, would limit the room’s versatility. That’s where these rich wood and oxidized-iron beauties come in: Against one another, they form a square surface large enough to accommodate a low-key meal. Split and rearranged elsewhere, they can also function as occasional tables.
By configuring a sofa, two center sections and an armless chaise to create the world’s coziest U, the Scotts created a living room that feels distinct but not closed off from the kitchen beside it. A thoughtful color story supports that move: deep indigo that carries through the sectional’s throws, the area rug and the Roman shades pulls the space together.
