This is what happens when you strip a dark, heavy room back to nothing and start fresh. Before After There is a version of this room that most people would walk into and immediately feel defeated by.

There are rooms that look good in photos. And then there are rooms that feel good the moment you walk in — before you’ve even sat down.
