Owen’s Living Room

Roommates Owen and Chris enjoy entertaining their many friends, but all of those good times have taken a toll on their small house. Chris sends Owen to Design U to learn how to transform their living room from frat house flop to martini lounge chic. Designer Penny Southam is there to show Owen the finer points of room layout, colours, and swanky lighting.





Now it's your turn!

What grade would you have given Owen? What do you think of his design? What would you have done differently?
