My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Design Dilemma

What would you do with this awkward room? Especially the severe triangle corner?

13 years ago
Can anyone suggest a good idea for this room without a lot of construction?

    It is hard to see the whole room as there is only on photo? I would shelve the corner and depending on the style of the house maybe install molding around it. The room looks like it could use some character and i think the molding could do that. You might want to add the molding where the wall meets the ceiling.
