Transforming a Split-Level Colonial Home: HGTV Renovation for a Family of Five

In this riveting episode of HGTV, the Lien family embarks on a daring renovation journey to transform their split-level Colonial contemporary abode into a modern masterpiece. With three children, including a set of twins, the family faces the challenge of seven types of flooring, six staircases, and multiple balconies in need of a cohesive redesign. The team at HGTV takes on the task with a budget of $200,000, aiming to infuse the home with light colors, Pops of color, and a timeless aesthetic.

Despite facing skepticism from architects and contractors, HGTV's design experts tackle the project head-on, introducing an open concept layout that breathes new life into the once disjointed space. The dark kitchen is revamped into a bright, entertaining hub with white countertops, brown accents, and a doubled size that caters to the family's needs. The family room undergoes a transformation with a textured ambiance, a modern gas insert fireplace, custom-built mantle, and classy wallpaper that exudes elegance.

The lower level of the home sees a complete overhaul, featuring kids' workstations, a tucked-away playroom, and a stamped-approved bathroom that reflects the family's style and needs. The final reveal showcases a home that not only meets but exceeds the family's expectations, providing them with a safe haven to unwind and create lasting memories. HGTV's meticulous attention to detail and practical design choices ensure that every corner of the Lien family's home is a reflection of their unique personality and lifestyle.
