In Color Splash season 2 episode 3 titled "Ocean Oasis," designer David Bromstad takes on the daunting task of transforming a lackluster living room into a serene ocean oasis for his clients, a married couple looking for a relaxing escape in their own home.
David sets the tone for the room by incorporating a soothing color palette of blues, greens and grays, reminiscent of the ocean. He starts by painting the walls a light blue color and adding accent walls with a chevron pattern and a wallpaper featuring a subtle wave design. These elements not only create visual interest but also add texture to the room.
To bring in more depth and character, David adds custom-made bookshelves and cabinets on either side of the fireplace, painted a deep ocean blue color. These shelves not only provide storage but also serve as a focal point in the room, highlighting the clients' collection of seashells and coral.
The seating area is another major focus of the room, with a comfortable sectional sofa in a soft gray color paired with green accent chairs. David adds a large area rug with a wave pattern to anchor the seating area and add more texture to the room.
To add more color and depth, David includes a mix of pillows and throws in greens, blues and grays to tie in with the overall ocean theme. He also incorporates unique lighting fixtures, such as a chandelier made of seashells, to create a one-of-a-kind focal point in the room.
In addition to the living room transformation, David also revamps the client's existing dining room with a fresh coat of paint and new light fixture. He incorporates a bold, abstract painting in blues and greens, which ties in with the color scheme of the living room and creates a cohesive look throughout the home.
Throughout the episode, David emphasizes the importance of paying attention to details and thinking outside the box when it comes to design. He encourages viewers to experiment with bold patterns and colors, while keeping in mind the overall feel and function of the space.
In the end, the clients are thrilled with the transformation of their living and dining rooms, which now exude a tranquil and refreshing ocean vibe. David's attention to detail and creative approach to design truly make this episode of Color Splash a must-watch for any design enthusiast.
