Why: There’s a roomsday conspiracy going around and we suspect that interior designers Bageshree Borgharkar and Sudhir Banthia are behind it.

First, they’ll take pictures of your space, get your suggestions, lock a budget and put together a final concept (see cool before-after pictures here). Then, thirty three hours later, you’ll be resting comfortably in your new and improved room. Suite dreams!

When: You need someone to (s)hack into your system.
