Ep 9. The Cancurra's Luxury Living Room

The High Low Project season 1 episode 9, titled "The Cancurra's Luxury Living Room," follows designer Sabrina Soto as she transforms a bland and outdated living room into a luxurious space that reflects the style and personality of the homeowners, the Cancurra family. The family has lived in their home for many years, but they've never updated their living room, leaving it feeling drab and uninviting. Sabrina's task is to bring life back into the space by creating a more upscale and modern aesthetic without breaking the bank.

The episode begins with Sabrina meeting with the Cancurra family to get a sense of their personal style and the functionality they want in the space. The Cancurras express that they want their living room to feel more inviting and comfortable, as they spend a lot of time in the space with family and friends. Additionally, they want the room to be more stylish and cohesive, with a touch of luxury, while keeping their budget in mind.

Sabrina starts by assessing the existing space and identifies the main areas that need improvement, including the outdated seating and decor, the bulky TV stand, and the underutilized fireplace. Sabrina proposes a plan that involves a complete overhaul of the room decor and furniture, while keeping some of the existing elements. She suggests keeping the fireplace as a focal point but updating it with a new mantle and painting the brick wall to give it a more modern and fresh look.

Sabrina also recommends that the family invest in a new sectional sofa with a neutral color palette that can provide ample seating for the family, while adding pops of color with new throw pillows and a bright area rug. She suggests adding new curtains to frame the windows and highlight the views of the outside. Sabrina encourages the family to invest in new lighting fixtures to create a cozy and warm ambiance.

Next, Sabrina takes the family on a shopping trip to pick out new decor and furniture pieces. She takes them to high-end and affordable stores to show them how to blend both to elevate the space without breaking the bank. They find a stunning piece of artwork for above the fireplace that ties in all the colors in the room, and Sabrina also finds a decorative mirror to reflect light and add depth to the space.

Finally, Sabrina works with the family to arrange the new furniture pieces and decor in the living room. She emphasizes the importance of creating a cohesive and inviting space by layering textures and adding personal touches, such as family photos in frames and a decorative tray on the coffee table.

In the end, Sabrina succeeds in transforming the Cancurra living room into a luxurious and inviting space that fits the family's needs and personal style. The family is overjoyed with the transformation and can't wait to start using their newly renovated space. Overall, the episode is a reminder that creating a beautiful and functional space doesn't have to be expensive and that a little creativity and budget-consciousness can go a long way.
