Season 1, 13 Episodes

Room Service - Zen Den

Join Room Service on a trip to the Far East, as we make a combination living and dining room into a Zen retreat. The style is crisp, tailored, and definitely cool, minimal living at its finest. Sarah hits some great ethnic shops for décor enhancements and gets the goods on the essence of Japanese design. She even shows us how to create a variety of colourful silk pillows. Proof positive that less is definitely more!

Room Service - Be Our Guest

Out all day playing the happy tourist? What a treat to kick back in your own guest bedroom, courtesy of Room Service. Sarah's intimate, quiet refuge restores with its fresh, clean, and tailored look. Well-chosen fabrics and accessories turn this former storage room into a first-class suite as does Sarah's patented bed-runner. What’s more, we learn what makes a bed truly comfortable. You'll definitely want to overstay your welcome!

Room Service - Every Inch Counts

Every Inch Counts,

Live in a tiny bachelor on a budget? Not to worry, as Room Service gives a teacher's tight space room to roam. Sarah mixes light wall colours with dark wood accents and adds versatility and style with a bedroom drape. She's off to auction to hunt for great furniture deals and helps you to create your very own, framed art wall. We may be short on space, but we're long on imagination!

Room Service - International Hq

International Hq,

Let Room Service make your home office a welcome guest! Sarah gives a dark and overcrowded space its walking papers in favour of a light, crisp sanctuary from where ideas and productivity flow. A wall of shelves makes it organized and Sarah's huge, colourful bulletin board makes it inspirational. Did we say huge? And, we throw in a lesson on vintage office furniture, so hot! Take a memo. This is great!

Room Service - Blank Canvas

Room Service transforms an apartment living room into a Parisian atelier, using an eclectic mix of colour, furnishings and accessories. Sarah's departure point is the new tenant's sofa and armoire; the rest is inspired by clever accessories and room accents. We learn all about classic French fabrics and create slipcovers for iron bistro chairs. It's sophisticated and chic, Left Bank and magnifique!

Room Service - Fine Dining

Call it time worn elegance. Room Service brings dramatic colour and luxurious textures to an empty nester's formal dining room. Sarah makes it warm, welcoming and functional, the perfect recipe for the middle aged couple that lives to entertain. We learn how to pick just the right fabrics, find a few table top objets and even get a first hand lesson on ordering flowers to suit your décor. It's an understated, classic and easily achieved in any home.

Room Service - Night Cap

Our couple is moving on up, and Room Service is helping them to convert a third floor loft space into a master bedroom retreat. Buttery leather, smoky velvets and smooth finishes combine to give an elegant, sophisticated appeal. Sarah taps into the fine art of mixing modern and classic furniture. We learn how to purchase fine photography and to create a sumptuous velvet throw. Go ahead, indulge yourself!

Room Service - Girl Talk

Life is a series of transitions. And Room Service is there, no matter the age. Sarah and a little girl's mother join forces to transform the infant's room into a colourful first space of her very own. A quilt is the departure point for a striped wall treatment, fun and easy-care bed linens and the hunt for unique kid's accessories. The look is breezy, fun and whimsical!

Room Service - Kitchen Magic

You've bought new appliances, now what about the rest of the kitchen reno? Room Service helps a young couple bring it all together with smart, stylish kitchen solutions that won't break the bank. Sarah's list includes a cupboard update, new back splash and counter and the biggest kitchen magnet you've ever seen. We also get planning advice from a pro who makes restaurant kitchens work. Not to worry as dinner's on us!

Room Service - Urban Oasis

Room Service creates a meditative, contemplative space out of a typical city backyard. Sarah and an artist friend add a pergola to create shade on those sunny days. She scours the shops for the most fun garden accessories and gets advice on installing a water feature. It's all meant to help you relax and unwind without the hassle of sharing the highway with other cottage goers.

Room Service - Spa Experience

Spa Experience,

Our couple, Mark and Christopher, have been renovating their home for about a year, leaving the bathroom to the end. Why? Because it's a complete throwback to the '70s, brown shag carpet all over everything!
