A Couple's Dream Room Comes True With A Fabulous Family Room | Design Inc

Sarah Richardson and The Design Inc Team have a challenge on her hands. Maury and Paula want to turn their empty room into a fabulous family room where everyone can socialise, watch TV and eat. However, this laid-back couple have no design preferences. They describe their desired style as “everything thrown in a blender”. Are the Design Inc Team able to design their dream family room? Or will the design result in a family feud?

Love seeing Tommy and Sarah together. He will be missed. Their energy has been dynamic and so much fun.

[@skdoremi6666]

Ahhh lovely couple!! Oh and I hated that paper thing.............hope they change it.

[@dutchgram3799]

I don't like it at all. It reminds me of a school room. All I can think of is the dust gathering on it.

[@jmpe.5289]

I AM SO GLAD to see this episode! I saw them reject a table in a different episode, & wondered about them... thank you ABODE for bringing it to us! WHAT a great surprise today😍... LOVE seeing Design Inc.! (Huge shout out to Abode!!! Thanks so much!🥰)

[@arcy5798]

GLAM to the MAX!! I will never 'get' the point of a fake fireplace but when you have that sort of money to throw around I guess you get what you want! I am surprised by the TV over the mantle. Great episode!

[@crazycatlady61]

I loathed the paper light fixtures, l thought they were joking with those 2 ceiling lights.

[@juliananton7800]

I HATED them too!

[@shandafetter553]

Way too much furniture. Hated that long banquet and light fixtures. BUT the clients were thrilled.

[@janetthornton7909]

That fabric with the open semi circles looks like handcuffs!

[@Kathleen5429]

The paper “light fixtures” would have been vetoed by me. Totally crapped up a beautiful room, imho.

[@meagainandagain5756]

Sarah is such a spirited woman, great fashion sense, nice to look at, is willing to get down and dirty lifting, vacuuming. I miss her shows in my region.

[@kathysmith2541]

Liked everything except the light fixture. It comes across as cheap

Great episode, great design and fun couple

[@sophiahockman5844]

There is way too much furniture for that one space. The room looks like a bunch of beautiful pieces, minus the chandeliers, jammed together. The two different dining areas looks odd.

[@amppma7302]

family room is SO the wrong term to describe this space. wanna-be Versailles is closer to the mark. cannot imagine relaxing in this space, it's all about the glitz. one thing I really did love was the mantel, that thing is gorgeous. everything else could go, but the mantel is a keeper.

[@larkmurry7808]

Utterly delicious...

[@TravelersWarden]

I wonder if the "all gray everything" trend right now was a direct backsplash to this time period of "Gray is OUT!"

[@brandoniswhoiam]

Grey everything was until the 2010’s. It’s mostly about warmth and colour.

[@KMJCAN1313]

I think that fashion, as I have observed same many times, follows Sarah's creative ideas.

[@gladysscott526]

Very nice Sara

[@deborahcaldwell2261]

Miss Sarah, I watched a episode you did at least 6 years ago. I'm trying to find it. You did a makeover that was based on winter ice looking, light blues and a white feather boua and Glas brick with lights in it? Can you please help me find this favorite episode.

[@MzShonuff123]

What was the premise of the episode?

[@brandoniswhoiam]

I miss Tommy and Sarah together. They don’t follow each other on Instagram anymore, and Tommy left Sarah Richardson Design to start his own firm called TOM.

[@CarlaLR74]

I was under the impression that that Sarah had been supportive of Tommy creating his own firm, I hope it isn’t the end of a great friendship.

[@sharontrujillo7793]

Is this referring to the present time?? 2022...I love them together. No matter what time!! 💥

[@karenmitchell6814]

I thought Tommy came back to Sarah’s team?

[@KMJCAN1313]

That is sad, Brandon, I wondered if a creative or friendship fracture was the reason why Sarah and Tommy no longer worked together. Thank you for filling us in.

[@KMJCAN1313]

I did notice that Sarah did not ever refer to Tommy as, "a friend", she described him as a colleague, or the like.

[@sandrawestley4193]

Don’t Ike the banket or is it banquette, not something we would have in the UK ever. I thought his comments about the sparkle, from cushions to his wife rather cheesy. And yes grey went out of fashion over here also.

[@denisewoods849]

Poor Sarah needs sensible shoes!

[@Joan-qh8lw]

Of course the design is beautiful, but it's way too formal. One drop of red wine . . . Different strokes for different folks.

[@jeezumcrow8655]

What in God’s name is that bizarre ceiling light fixture? Yuck!

[@matta8931]

I thought this was supposed to be a family room. Looks awful.

[@normanseagull4027]

What a sickly couple the clients are. The wife needs to buy some eyebrows.

[@jeezumcrow8655]

😂
