Color Splash Season 2 Episode 11 A Patio Rescue
- August 13, 2007
In Color Splash season 2 episode 11, titled "A Patio Rescue," host and designer David Bromstad sets his sights on improving an outdated and uninviting outdoor space for a couple in Miami, Florida. The homeowners, who have a young child, have struggled to find a way to enjoy their patio area, which currently lacks seating and style.
Bromstad begins by removing all of the existing furniture and decor, creating a blank canvas to work with. He then interviews the couple to determine their preferences and needs for the space, incorporating their feedback into his design plan.
The main focus of the patio transformation is a new pergola structure, which provides both shade and a decorative focal point. Bromstad uses a mix of wood and metal for the pergola, with intricate cutout designs that add interest and texture. The addition of colorful outdoor curtains and a hanging light fixture further enhance the space.
To create a comfortable seating area, Bromstad selects a large sectional sofa and coffee table, along with a pair of stylish armchairs. The furniture is arranged in a way that maximizes the space and encourages conversation and relaxation. He also adds a variety of throw pillows and accessories to bring in pops of color and pattern.
For the flooring, Bromstad chooses a durable wood-like tile that resembles natural hardwood. He lays the tile in a herringbone pattern, adding sophistication and visual interest.
To complete the transformation, Bromstad adds a variety of decorative accents, such as a large wall clock, wall art, and potted plants. The result is a stunning outdoor space that feels like an extension of the home, with plenty of seating and style for the family to enjoy.
Throughout the episode, viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at the design process, including Bromstad's struggles with unexpected weather challenges and last-minute changes. The homeowners are thrilled with the finished product, and Bromstad leaves knowing that he has created a space that the family will enjoy for years to come.
