Color Splash Season 1 Episode 10 Hip Retro Lounge

In Color Splash season 1 episode 10 titled "Hip Retro Lounge," host David Bromstad takes on one of his most exciting design projects yet. The episode begins with David meeting with his client, a young couple who are renovating their newly purchased home. They want David to create a retro lounge that will be the centerpiece of their new home. The lounge should be a space where they can entertain friends and family, relax after a long day, and enjoy a few drinks.

David starts by brainstorming ideas for the lounge with the couple. They describe their love for the colors and patterns of the 1960s and David immediately knows he wants to incorporate bold, bright colors and funky patterns into the design. He creates a mood board and presents it to the couple, who are thrilled with his ideas.

The first task is to find the perfect wallpaper for the lounge. David takes the couple to a local store that specializes in retro wallpaper. They are amazed by the variety of options and finally settle on a colorful, abstract pattern that will set the tone for the entire room.

Next, they start looking for furniture. David takes them to several vintage furniture stores, antique shops, and even thrift stores to find unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. They find a funky, orange sectional sofa, a bright blue accent chair, and a retro coffee table that has a built-in bar. David also shows them how to reupholster two chairs with a playful, retro fabric.

The lighting is also important in creating the perfect ambiance for the lounge. David finds a set of vintage pendant lights that he restores and repaints in contrasting colors. He uses a combination of table lamps and floor lamps to create the perfect lighting for every corner of the room.

David also incorporates playful wall art and accessories to tie everything together. He creates a gallery wall of vintage album covers, finds a colorful, geometric rug, and adds retro-style tableware to the bar. David even shows the couple how to make their own DIY artwork using vintage record sleeves.

As the renovation nears completion, David adds the final touches to the room. He installs a new sound system, plants a few new plants, and even creates a custom retro-inspired game area with a pinball machine and a vintage board game.

Finally, the big reveal arrives, and the couple is blown away by the final result. The lounge is everything they ever wanted and more. The colors are bold and bright, the furniture is funky and comfortable, and the accessories tie everything together perfectly. They can't wait to invite their friends and family over to show off their new hip retro lounge.

Overall, the "Hip Retro Lounge" episode of Color Splash season 1 is a fun and inspiring renovation project. David Bromstad's use of bold colors and unique patterns creates a space that is both playful and cozy. The episode showcases the process of finding vintage furniture and accessories, restoring them, and using them to create a truly one-of-a-kind space. It's a must-watch for anyone who loves mid-century modern design or wants to create a unique and playful space in their home.
