In season 3 episode 7 of Color Splash, entitled "Bachelor Pad Redo," host and interior designer David Bromstad takes on the challenge of transforming a bachelor's generic and uninspiring apartment into a stylish and cozy living space.
The episode begins with David meeting the bachelor, Benjamin, and touring his bland and cluttered apartment. Benjamin admits to having no sense of style and being overwhelmed with the task of decorating his space. David immediately gets to work, focusing on creating a space that reflects Benjamin's personality and interests while also being functional and comfortable.
The first step in the transformation is to declutter and organize the space. David instructs Benjamin to get rid of unnecessary items and provides shelving and storage solutions to keep the remaining items neat and tidy. Next, he chooses a bold red color scheme for the living room, which serves as the main area of the apartment. The walls are painted red, and the color is carried throughout the space through various accents like throw pillows, curtains, and artwork. The result is a dramatic and sophisticated look that is both masculine and inviting.
David also pays close attention to the furniture and accessories chosen for the space. He selects a comfortable and stylish sectional sofa that provides ample seating for guests, as well as a sleek coffee table and accent chairs. He also adds personal touches like a custom-designed bar area that displays Benjamin's liquor collection.
The bedroom is given a more peaceful and serene vibe, with a calming blue color scheme. David chooses a soothing blue wall color and then incorporates complementary accent colors like white and beige through the bedding and accessories. A unique and eye-catching headboard is added to the bed, and David instructs Benjamin to hang his art collection in a salon-style arrangement on one wall.
Throughout the episode, David also shares tips and advice for decorating on a budget and creating a cohesive look in any space. He emphasizes the importance of choosing a color scheme and sticking to it, as well as investing in quality pieces that will stand the test of time.
In the end, Benjamin's apartment is transformed into a stylish and functional space that reflects his personality and lifestyle. The episode serves as a reminder that with some creativity and a little bit of guidance, anyone can turn their home into a beautiful and welcoming oasis.
