Design on a Dime is a reality television show that features expert designers creating stunning home interior décor with a strict budget and limited resources. In season 12, episode 6 titled "Asian Gallery Living Room," the challenge for the designers is to transform a bland and lifeless living room space into an elegant and relaxing Asian-inspired gallery that captures the essence of this serene and artistic culture.

The episode starts with the designers introducing themselves, and viewers get a first look at the living room space that they have been assigned to revamp. The room is currently an empty and dull space that lacks personality and style. The walls are painted in a boring beige color, and there is nothing to differentiate this room from any other living room space.

The designers are given a budget of $1000, and they are expected to use their creativity and expertise, along with a variety of affordable materials to transform the room into an Asian-inspired living gallery. They have only three days to complete the renovation, and time is ticking.

The designers brainstorm together and come up with a few ideas for the room. They want to create a focal point in the room that draws people's eyes and attention. One designer suggests a mural inspired by Asian art, while another suggests creating a large gallery wall where they can display Asian artifacts and artwork.

Taking their ideas and inspiration, the designers get to work. They start by painting the walls a warm and soothing gray color, which provide a beautiful contrast to the beautiful Asian-inspired artwork that will be displayed throughout the room. They decide to create a focal point by designing a stunning mural that highlights traditional Asian art.

The designers then proceed to create a gallery wall, where they can display various Asian artifacts and artwork. They purchase a range of items, from traditional paper lanterns to large gongs, and network with vendors who sell Asian inspired paintings, calligraphy, ceramic handles, and other items. They use their barging skills to also source affordable and stylish furnishings such as a sectional sofa with bold print cushions. They place each item carefully, taking into account their size and shape, and the overall aesthetic that they want in the room.

When the mural is finished, it's evident that it serves as a breathtaking focal point that captures the essence of traditional Asian art perfectly. The designs are highly impressed with how the mural makes the room appear larger, and how it infuses the room with a peaceful ambiance.

The designers continue their transformation by adding other decorative touches throughout the room. They install dim lighting and use Asian-inspired table lamps to provide a warm glow to the room, adding to its cozy feel. They also use a traditional Japanese sliding door system to separate the living area from the dining area, but also allowing some light and air to pass through the door.

After three days of hard work and dedication, the living room transformation is complete. The redesign is highly impressive and awe-inspiring. The room is now a beautifully designed, Asian-inspired gallery that exudes a sense of elegance and calm.

In conclusion, Design on a Dime season 12 episode 6 "Asian Gallery Living Room" is a thrilling episode that showcases the expertise and creativity of the show's talented designers. The designers successfully transformed the dull living room space into a beautiful Asian-inspired gallery that's sure to leave viewers in awe. The episode is highly entertaining and informative, especially for those who may be considering a similar home décor renovation.
