Design on a Dime Season 12 Episode 3 Elegant Dining Room

Design on a Dime is back for its 12th season and this time, our designers are taking on the challenge of transforming a dining room into an elegant space without breaking the bank.

In episode 3, appropriately titled "Elegant Dining Room," our team of designers are tasked with transforming a large, but bland dining room into a space worthy of hosting dinner parties and gatherings.

The homeowners have requested a more traditional and classic aesthetic with a touch of modern flair. The designers are excited to showcase their skills and prove that a beautiful and elegant space can be created on a budget.

As with all Design on a Dime episodes, the challenge is to stay within a tight budget of $2,500. This budget must cover all necessary materials, decor, and furniture needed to complete the transformation.

One of the first steps the designers take is to assess the room and determine what items can be reused or repurposed. They decide to keep the existing dining table and chairs and give them a fresh coat of paint and new fabric for the chair cushions. This not only saves money but also adds a personal touch to the room.

The designers then move on to selecting new decor and furniture pieces to elevate the space. They choose a beautiful rug to anchor the dining table, and a stunning chandelier to give the room that touch of glamour the homeowners requested. The designers also decide to add large mirrors to the walls to create the illusion of more space and reflect more light into the room.

One of the challenges the designers face is incorporating a modern touch while maintaining the classic aesthetic. To achieve this, they select a bright, geometric-patterned wallpaper for one wall and add modern artwork to the space. These touches add a twist of modernity to the traditional design scheme.

As always, the designers face unexpected setbacks and obstacles throughout the transformation process. They encounter issues with wallpapering the chosen wall and must quickly pivot to a new design plan. However, the designers remain determined and focused and ultimately succeed in creating a beautiful and elegant dining room within the budget.

The final result is a stunning, sophisticated space that perfectly blends traditional and modern elements. The homeowners are thrilled with the transformation and can't wait to host their next dinner party in their new and improved dining room.

Overall, Design on a Dime season 12 episode 3, "Elegant Dining Room," is a must-watch for anyone looking for budget-friendly design ideas and inspiration. The designers' creativity and resourcefulness prove that a beautiful and elegant space can be created on a dime.
