Synopsis

Takeover My Makeover features a rotating team of expert designers led by Frank Fontana, and two other designers. Fontana rescues would-be decorators and their misguided makeovers by transforming truly tacky attempts into tastefully executed room designs.

In the premiere episode, Fontana along with his team of designated design coordinators and contractors step in to redo a disastrously designed modern living room. The team brings the original design vision to life on a budget of only $2,000.

Throughout the series, Fontana and the Takeover My Makeover team offers tips on how to avoid the most common design errors such as taking a design theme too literally, making elements that should be "highlights" the main features in a room, or neglecting the basic principles that translate into a cohesive design.

The result is a lively half-hour in which homeowners ultimately get the room they envisioned but were unable to create on their own.

In addition, viewers learn the fundamentals of good design, find out how to achieve popular design styles such as Cottage Chic, Asian, and Modern Hotel Chic, and get valuable takeaway tips.
