What To Learn From Property Brothers Home Office Makeover For Simu Liu

If you've ever wondered who a superhero calls when they need a home makeover, look no further. Marvel movie star, Simu Liu, called up the Property Brothers for a stunning home office transformation, and to no one's surprise, they came to the rescue. In a recent video from their "Mini Makeover" series on the "Drew and Jonathan" YouTube page, we saw the Property Brothers give Simu Liu and his girlfriend, Allison, a home office upgrade that's fit for a star.

This makeover demonstrates how warm, inviting textures and colors can have a big impact on creating a cozy yet functional workspace. Even more, the project shows that hidden storage hacks like a Murphy bed can instantly turn a simple office into a versatile guest room. This makes the space perfect for both work and hosting visitors. This clever use of the room is a great reminder that a few thoughtful design choices can transform yours into a home office you definitely want to work in.

Before the Property Brothers tackled this makeover, Simu Liu expressed what he wanted for his future home office, saying on the YouTube video, "I would love it if it was something that you could walk into and it just bathes you in warmth." And that's exactly what was delivered, using cozy colors and textures to bring the room to life.

Like many of the clever home design tricks the Property Brothers swear by, the wooden feature wall makes a statement while adding depth and character. It was also their most noticeable choice in this home office revamp. Its inviting texture was complemented by the hanging guitars, which perfectly aligned with the warm, neutral color palette. These colors extended throughout the entire office, from the leather desk chair to the wooden furniture, and even the cozy brown rug. Every detail contributed to the welcoming ambiance, including some potted green plants that brought a sense of liveliness while still maintaining the earthy aesthetic of the room. 

To create a similar feel in your own space, you can copy the design duos accent wall with simple-to-install panels, like these starting at around $115 from Wayfair. Or, get a similar look with less commitment using Arthome's Wood Slat Wallpaper. Then, add more warmth with decorative accents in materials like leather and clay, and place greenery around the room. 

One of the best features of the home office makeover is the hidden Murphy bed that brings versatility to the space. Drew Scott surprised the couple with this clever addition explaining, "That's not just a bookshelf, it's actually a Murphy bed. It adds so much function to a space." This bed isn't just a smart space-saver. It turns the office into a guest room whenever needed, making sure no square inch goes to waste.

A Murphy bed is the perfect way to maximize your guest space, especially in rooms that need to do double duty. In Simu's office, this hidden bed, complete with two custom closets on each side, lets the room easily shift from a stylish workspace to a cozy guest room, perfect for when friends or family come into town or when Simu needs a place to crash after a late night in the office. The process of adding one to your office ranges from creating a custom piece that fits the space to buying a ready-made unit that's is ideal for the room. For example, the Bestar Pur Murphy Bed comes in four colors, and you can choose between full and queen size along with selecting the cabinet, drawer, and shelf configuration.
