24 may not seem like enough hours in the day, unless you're designer Libby Langdon who's found her sweet spot making over homes in precisely that amount of time.
We aren't talking about a full-out overhaul, but a concept Langdon's
coined the "daykeover," a 24-hour refresh that she details in the
December/January issue of House Beautiful magazine.
“Not everybody can go in and overhaul a room with all new
furnishings,” Langdon tells the magazine. “Sometimes you just need to
add a few new pieces or rearrange existing ones -- which can be just as
fun and dramatic as a complete redo,” she says.
By the looks of the three Rumson, New Jersey spaces she transformed here, we agree.
Check out these four tips from Langdon on easy ways to revamp a room in a pinch and her full House Beautiful feature (including the unbelievable before photo) when it hits newsstands on November 26.

Traditional Home Magazine featuring Libby Langdon Upholstery
Libby Langdon Upholstery for Braxton Culler
Andrews Sofa and Merrill Chair and Ottoman currently featured in the July/August 2013 issue of Traditional Home Magazine
For designer Libby Langdon, the goal of the fun room was “to create a relaxed retreat reminiscent of an English club room with a modern, sexy twist,” she says. “I wanted it to be an inviting space as ideal for cocktails and billiards with friends as it is for quiet moments reading a good book.” At almost 1,200 square feet, the room’s plan was a challenge. To humanize the space, Langdon used multiple seating and gathering areas and delineated the spaces with sculptural light fixtures and creative furniture placement. Noteworthy accessories –antique boat replicas, globes, maps and old books from English Country antiques – entice interest. “I wanted to visually draw you into the space,” says Langdon. “I thought of the homeowner as a world traveler who loved collecting lots of beautiful objects. They truly become a focal point of the space.”
