In this episode of Design on a Dime, a young boy wants to transform his bedroom into a train-themed oasis. The budget for this project is only $1,000, putting the designers to the test to come up with creative solutions without breaking the bank.
The designers start by selecting a color scheme that complements the train theme. They choose a mix of blues and reds, with a bold red accent wall to create a focal point in the room. The designers also choose a train-themed wallpaper for one of the other walls, adding texture and visual interest.
Next, the designers turn their attention to the bed. They decide to use an old toddler bed and give it a fresh coat of paint to match the color scheme. They also create a custom train headboard using cardboard boxes painted and arranged to look like a train engine. This unique design adds a playful touch to the room and fits perfectly with the theme.
The designers also add custom-made bedding that includes train-themed sheets and pillows, as well as an area rug that features a train track design. To make the most of the small space, they add storage solutions that are both functional and stylish. They install shelves above the bed to display the boy's train collection and also use crates for storage that double as decor.
The designers create a focal point in the room by adding a train mural to the accent wall. This playful addition ties the whole room together and gives the boy's room a lively atmosphere. They also add some train-themed decor, such as a vintage train sign and a toy train set that can be used for playtime.
To complete the transformation, the designers add lighting to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. They install a custom-made train-themed lamp and string lights that add a cozy touch to the room. The designers also add curtains and other finishing touches to make the room feel complete.
Overall, the designers were able to create a train-themed boy's bedroom on a tight budget by using creative design solutions and DIY projects. The end result is a playful and inviting space that will surely delight any young train enthusiast.
