This project involved a rectangular room (referred to as "the den") that was added on to the house quite a few years ago. The den originally contained the fireplace and a large closet where the washer/dryer resided along with some very out of date fixtures. The laundry closet took a sizable bite out of the usable area in the den so the decision was made to demo the closet out and move the laundry facilities downstairs.
The paneling was demoed along with the false beams and drop ceiling right at the entry. New insulation was installed along with new drywall where necessary. Maple trim was chosen to give a bit more of a unique look.
Rectangular rooms can be tricky but due to great color selection on the part of the client the end result is a much more open (and therefore more usable) space that is very warm and cozy yet highly functional.
