One countertop, three base-cabinet styles. Pick your favorite!

Keep kitchens sturdy

Expert tip: “We love quartz countertops because they look like natural stone but are so much easier,” says Jonathan. “And porcelain tile is a great choice for flooring—it handles spills like a champ and can stand up to all the traffic that’ll be trampling through your kitchen.”
Where to apply it: “Room to Grow,” helping Debra and Steve renovate their single-family home in the suburbs.

Size up your sofa

Expert tip: “Pick something that both fits the space and that’s comfortable to you,” says Jonathan. “So many people forget to measure and bring home a sofa that’s too large. You want the piece to fit in, not take over the room.”
Where to apply it: “A Not-So-Mini Makeover,” helping Nicole and Theo rework their living room.

A pendant light and cute table lamp will cast a cozy glow.

Let there be light

Expert tip: “Whatever you do, don’t rely solely on an overhead bulb,” says Drew. “Mix it up with a variety of table and floor lamps, or maybe a pendant chandelier or some recessed lighting to make a room lighter and more welcoming.”
Where to apply it: “Demolition Derby,” helping Kelly and Russell modernize their Kentucky fixer-upper.

Don't work where you sleep

Expert tip: “If possible, keep office furniture out of the bedroom,” says Jonathan. "This room should be an oasis for sleeping and relaxing—not working.”
Where to apply it: “Lackluster in La Jolla,” creating the dream bedroom for Luis and Isabella.

This light-filled attic space awaits your finishing touches.

Space it out

Expert tip: “Updating window treatments to let in more sunshine can make a big difference,” says Jonathan. “Mirrors can also help, especially when placed to reflect a window. Natural light creates the appearance of more space.”
Where to apply it: “Center City Construction,” helping Liz and Phil update the bathroom in their Philadelphia home.
