Room For Improvement: Modern makeover

Mike and Valerie say their bedroom is drab and lifeless.

Mike Pappagallo, homeowner
"The room looks exactly like it looked when we bought the house."

And very crowded.

Valerie Pappagallo, homeowner
"It is not a comfortable place to be."

Designer Lana Rudym is here to liven things up.

Lana Rudym, Lana Rudym Interiors
"I'd like them to have their bedroom a little bit romantic, a little bit mysterious."

Junior Miranda paints the walls purple, making them peaceful but with a punch of color.

Junior Miranda, painter
"I think the color describes a lot about whose living in the room."

In comes new white furniture to make this small room look more spacious and help with storage.

Lana Rudym, Lana Rudym Interiors
"It's really like a space saver. You can see it's a drawer over here."

White accents complete the modern look. Brown bedding and curtains help balance out the other colors.

Our designers say sometimes contemporary design can make a room feel cold, but the different textures in this room keep it feeling warm.

Lana Rudym, Lana Rudym Interiors
"All of this texture, all of those warm colors, they give life. They give a very nice vibe. They give energy to this room."

And not only textures can help, shapes can make a big impact as well. Mostly everything in here is circular to make the space more inviting.

Lana Rudym, Lana Rudym Interiors
"Round shape itself, it's a very warm shape, round shape, so that's why we use it. It goes like everywhere."

I think it's time to reveal this modern day sanctuary.

Valerie Pappagallo, homeowner
"Wow, I love it!"

The family loves their modern makeover. With all the new furniture and accessories, it cost $1900.
