Ep 4. A Moroccan Makeover for a Family of Four

In Home Made Simple season 15 episode 4, entitled "A Moroccan Makeover for a Family of Four," the Home Made Simple team is tasked to transform the living room of a Moroccan-American family in Carson, California. The family of four, whose living room serves as a gathering space for hosting family and friends, is in need of a new look that reflects their heritage and culture.

The episode starts with the team, led by designer Laila Ali, meeting the family to discuss their preferences for the living room makeover. The family wants the space to capture the essence of Moroccan design, with a color scheme of vibrant blues, greens, and yellows. They also want the space to be comfortable and practical, with enough seating for everyone, including their young children.

The team starts by decluttering the space and creating a new furniture layout that maximizes seating and functionality. They install new shelving units and a built-in window seat, providing additional storage space and a cozy spot to read a book or relax. They also add a new area rug that is bold and colorful, tying together the Moroccan-inspired color scheme.

Laila and the team work on several DIY projects for the living room, including creating a custom coffee table using an old door and repurposing a vintage Moroccan wedding blanket to create unique throw pillows. They also add DIY wall décor, such as a Moroccan-inspired stencil design and a gallery wall showcasing family photos.

Another important element of the living room makeover is lighting. The team installs new pendant lights and sconces that add warmth and ambiance to the space while also providing necessary task lighting.

To give the living room a finishing touch, Laila and the team create a custom-designed mural that takes up an entire wall. The mural depicts a scene from Morocco, featuring vibrant colors and intricate details that tie together the overall design of the space.

Throughout the episode, the Home Made Simple team works closely with the family to ensure that the living room not only looks beautiful but also meets their specific needs. They provide the family with tips on how to keep their new space organized and functional, while also incorporating cultural elements that are important to their family.

In the end, the family is thrilled with their new living room and can't wait to host their next family gathering. The Home Made Simple team has created a space that is both beautiful and practical, reflecting the family's culture and personality while also meeting their specific needs.
