So many of us can relate to having an entryway that's incongruous with the rest of the house. Maybe you just haven't had time to decorate it yet or maybe it's so big and overwhelming that you don't even know where to start. That was the case for these homeowners whose all-white foyer, with its soaring ceiling, was a blank canvas just waiting for design guru Monica Mangin to work her magic on in the Lowe's original series The Weekender. Check out the dramatic after images and get all the design and product details in the slideshow ahead.
Before
White walls on white carpet creates a flat and boring design, while the dated stair banister is incongruous with the dark-stained wood floors.
After
Monica used paint to create some of the most dramatic changes in the space. She painted the walls a warm pink-tinged beige and tinted the staircase banister darker (to match the floor) while creating contrast by painting the spindles white. To break up the expanses of wall space and accentuate the high ceilings, Monica installed simple vertical molding.
Rustic furniture, like a DIY coat hanger and mod wooden bench ($175-$251) covered in soft pillows ($60) make the space both homey and welcoming.
A natural brass industrial chandelier ($613) is a major upgrade from the dated '80s lighting pendant.
