  • Designer Vanessa Francis shows us how she made four forgotten areas in her home functional again. From the organized den-turned-home office filled with designer samples to the Instagram-worthy laundry room, you'll be inspired to overhaul your space this weekend. Vanessa also turned an awkward niche on her landing into a hardworking nook with leftover wallpaper and budget-friendly Ikea built-ins. Plus, see why her dreamy walk-in closet would get Marie Kondo's stamp of approval.

    Very nice. Love the landing wallpaper choice. The boldness enlivens it. Makes the wall a feature rather than a forgotten space.

    I like to have the things I love around me. I had a very pared down home in preparation for selling our home in 2019 before retirement. It sold within one week, but I was stressed and unhappy until I was able to have all the antiques, objet d’art, artwork, etc. around me that I love very much. That’s what makes me happy!

    This is beautiful, well thought-out and lovely to look at. I just can't help but feel a little sad when I watch H&H videos.. it feels like it is full of wealthy individuals with little care for anything remotely sustainable. People care more about the organisation of their walk-in closet than real issues.. Its as though their biggest concern is whether or not they can easily see which shoes pair with which dress, or whether or not they feel 'happy' doing their laundry.. I know this is a very deep comment for H&H haha. I just find it increasingly difficult to tune-in. Perhaps it is a lovely, aesthetic way for people to simply forget about their bigger problems for a while!

    very basic design. Looks like every pininterst...no creativity, just copy cat. Step out of the "trending" design and do design that YOU really like...not how someone else designed their home, Every home literally now adays looks the same now...every one just copies the trends ie the white kitchen, white walls, barn look etc. very BORING.
    When I was a kid every home was designed differently not the same = this was every parent being creative. Shame things have changed with the internet.
