Design on a Dime season 10 episode 1 titled "Cosmic Boys' Bedroom" follows the team of designers as they take on the challenge of transforming a young boy's room into a space-themed wonderland on a tight budget. The episode begins with the hosts meeting with the family to discuss their preferences and budget for the project. The family has a limited budget but wants to create a fun and imaginative space for their son to play, sleep and study.
The team of designers begin by brainstorming ideas for the room and sketching out a plan for the transformation. They aim to incorporate elements of space and science fiction into the room while keeping to the budget. They start by selecting a color palette of blues, greys, and metallics to create a cosmic feel. They then analyze the existing furniture and decide which items can be used and which need to be replaced.
The designers then head to the store to search for affordable items that fit the theme of the room. They search for bedding, curtains, rugs, and decorative items that reflect the space theme. They focus on finding items that are fun, functional, and will not bust the budget. They also look for creative and inexpensive ways to create unique pieces that add to the overall look of the room.
Once they have gathered all the necessary items, the team heads back to the house to begin the transformation. They start by painting an accent wall a deep blue, which will serve as the backdrop for a custom-made planetary mural. They then add metallic accents and a starry night sky ceiling to complete the cosmic theme. They install new shelving units for storage and place a desk and chair for the young boy to study and read.
Next, they add fun decorative pieces, like rocket-shaped bookends and spaceship wall decals. They use a DIY hot glue gun to create a custom spaceship lamp, and also build a space-themed bookshelf using only cardboard boxes and paint. The designers work together to create a cohesive look that is playful, imaginative, and budget-friendly.
Throughout the process, the parents and young boy check in on the progress and provide feedback to the designers. They are thrilled with the final result, which includes a space-themed bedspread, galaxy curtains, and a custom-made planetary mobile above the bed. The room is transformed into a unique and practical space the whole family loves and shows that with a little creativity and effort, you can design a dream space on a dime.
