Building The Dream Nashville

Atlanta-based designer and TV star Vern Yip has been tasked with creating an entryway and living room that instantly put you at ease and truly welcome you home. Watch how he creates a space that's sophisticated, where every material is durable enough that you can truly kick back without worrying about destroying anything.

Let's be real: Hardly anyone uses formal dining rooms anymore. That's why Kentucky designer Chenault James was tasked with reclaiming the space, turning it into a room people use every night of the week. (A convertible ping pong table front and center doesn't hurt!)

Nashville's known for its live music scene, so when design duo Forbes and Masters were asked to transform an empty room over the garage, they opted to create the ultimate chill lounge. Inspired by Jimi Hendrix and the 1970s, the room is the perfect place for a jam session.

Parents need a retreat too! The team at Jackson Paige Interiors in California gets that, so when they imagined this home's master bedroom, they pictured the ultimate escape from life's stresses: a place where adults can reconnect, recharge, and get ready to face the day ahead.

There's nothing like dining al fresco on a cool spring or fall night-especially when you've got a chic dining set, hangout area, and outdoor kitchen. After you see how Barclay Butera worked his magic on this space, you may never want to dine indoors again. At least while the weather's nice.

Kids' rooms often veer in one of two extremes: all monochrome, "do kids actually live here?" sterile-or over the top, all-plastic-and-primary-colors kitsch. That's why we called on designer Amy Berry to show us the art of moderation, putting a new spin on traditional decor that's fun and chic.

When dreaming up the ultimate kitchen, it's easy to focus on the pretty parts: cabinets, color palettes. But when Matthew Quinn gets to designing the space, you wind up with a room that isn't just stunning to look at; it's loaded with smart tech that make you feel like you live at a state-of-the-art, five-star resort. Minus the room service.

If you work from home, your office should inspire you-not give you a perpetual case of the Mondays. New York designer Dani Arps is behind many of the city's hottest startups' decor, so we flew her to Nashville to see how she could imagine the home office. And she didn't disappoint.

You could call Nashville locals Modern Remains overachievers: The design group took on not one but three (!) spaces in the home, turning a breakfast nook into a lively room that's more energizing than a shot of espresso, a stair landing into your favorite place to read or catch up with friends, and a den into the media room of every moviegoer's dreams.

A master bath should be a place of rejuvenation. Richard Anuszkiewicz creates the most relaxing, spa looking Master Bath that makes you forget about everything else in the world. With a 12-piece showerhead, rainfall, and a body jet stream, relaxing has just become so much easier.

You've seen House Beautiful's dream home in Nashville come together room by room, but to truly get a sense of the space-including its flow and layout-you need to see it all together. Host and market director Carisha Swanson takes you through the epic home, showing a few rooms you haven't seen before-and extra features you'll want to add to your dream home bucket list, ASAP.
