Jonathan Scott Adds One Element To Create A Luxurious Bedroom (& How To Replicate)

Jonathan Scott is known as one-half of the home remodel powerhouse duo behind HGTV's hit series, "Property Brothers," but, in other projects, the "property brother" has proven he can make some design masterpieces on his own. With creativity, construction expertise, and interior design skills, his homes on HGTV's "Brother vs. Brother" have wow-ed his fellow celebrity designers and sold for top dollar. One renovation that showcases the (slightly) elder twin's creativity and design mastery comes from Season 7, Episode 4 of "Brother vs. Brother" where he goes head-to-head against Drew Scott to see who can design the higher-selling California luxury home. For a luxurious master bedroom, Jonathan Scott decided to create a home library in a small space – the hallway leading into the bedroom. The result — an elegant enclave for reading, relaxing, and looking out the second-floor window — does the job of elevating the luxury appeal of the home.

If you're looking for small changes that'll make your home look more luxurious, you might want to steal Jonathan Scott's library idea for your unused space. Seeing the space, celebrity interior designer and episode judge Jasmine Roth said, "Wow, making the most of a hallway. Whoever did this wanted to make the main bedroom look luxurious and I think buyers will be drawn to that." Below, we break down the must-have steals from this space, explain how to steal the luxurious library nook for your own home, and share tips on how to do it on a budget.

Jonathan Scott's "Brother vs. Brother" bedroom hallway library isn't only luxurious, but it's replicable in everyday small home spaces too. The first thing you'll want to steal is Scott's idea — find an unused hallway that can double as your luxury library. It can be the hallway leading to your master bedroom, but if the configuration of your home prevents this from being a possibility, find another hallway space that you'd want to transform. Next up, recreating Scott's custom wall. Opulent as it is, and completely built from scratch, all you need to create the perfect home library in your hallway the Jonathan Scott way is a slim, tall bookshelf, a slim bench that fits right up against the wall, books and decor for your shelf, and throw pillows for the bench.

The "Property Brothers" star uses a chocolate brown grasscloth wallpaper on one side of the hallway, and on the other, behind the bench, he uses a tufted leather-look wallpaper in a natural shade of light brown. The bookshelf, sitting bench, and blinds are a natural brown as well. You could indeed snag Scott's color scheme, but we recommend choosing a palette for your design that fits harmoniously with the rest of your home. For example, Scott's hallway receives ample natural lighting because of the large windows, so the dark color scheme doesn't look austere. In a hall without natural light, you may want to opt for lighter colors to brighten the space.

Jonathan Scott's bedroom hallway library is a great reminder that it just takes some creativity and vision to decorate a boring hallway and transform it into a functional and luxurious space. "This is the coolest idea though," said Scott as he brought his vision to life. "Instead of just being a hallway, it's a library." And, although you might not have a "Property Brothers" budget, there are still great ways to get the must-haves for your perfect home library on a budget. First, don't be afraid to shop the bargain bin for deals on wall coverings or other furniture or decor and pillows for your area, as Scott has done for his HGTV clients to keep things affordable. 

Look for discounted wallpaper, such as the Joss and Main one that Jonathan Scott used. On sale, it's only $1.74 a square foot. And, the Scotts' brand of wallpaper has options from as low as $1.08 per square foot. To save on cash, we recommend looking for the bookshelf, bench, and some shelf decor at a thrift store or on Facebook marketplace or looking for deals in IKEA's As-Is section. Just make sure you measure in advance to ensure your furniture is slim enough to allow for walking space on both sides of the hallway. Something that will keep the space luxurious and liveable is comfortable seating. So ensure like Scott did, that your bench has a pillow top and some plush throw pillows.
