Design on a Dime Season 13 Episode 13 Luxurious Studio Apartment

Design on a Dime is an American interior design show known for its smart and creative ideas to decorate rooms on a budget. In season 13 episode 13, titled "Luxurious Studio Apartment," viewers get to witness an exceptional designer, doing what they do best - transforming an empty, dull space into a stylish and functional home under a budget.

The 30-minute episode begins with the host introducing us to a young couple - Maya and Sean, who have recently moved to New York City. They are, like many other couples in the city, living in a small studio apartment, which measures about 380 square feet. The couple desires to create a beautiful and functional living arrangement that complements their urban needs, and as well gives them enough room to relax and entertain their friends.

The Design on a Dime team were tasked to transform the apartment into a bright and glamorous urban oasis that is both Instagramable and purposeful. As expected, the show's host paired the couple with an expert designer who can deliver on the theme and style they are hoping to achieve. The team was given a budget of $2,500 which may seem like a small sum for a renovation project, but with the right design expertise and creativity, anything is possible.

The designer immediately went to work, taking notes of Maya and Sean's taste and needs, as well as assessing the apartment's space and figuring out the best way to maximize the space while adding functionality. She then proceeded to draw up a plan and utilized every means to stick to the duo's budget, ensuring that every dime spent will count.

With the design plan in place, the team commenced working on the renovation project. The designer and her assistants work on different activities concurrently, making the most efficient use of their time and resources. They started by painting the walls with a warm and neutral color, which immediately brightened up space and gave it a seamless look.

The next task was to integrate a living and sleeping area, which required the incorporation of smart design ideas to make it look and feel spacious. To achieve that, the designer opted to partition the apartment with a room divider, selecting one that was slim enough to not consume much space yet functional enough to allow privacy.

She then proceeded to style the sleeping area with a queen-sized bed that complemented the warm color on the wall. To ensure the bed did not take up much space, they also added small nightstands alongside it to keep essentials like phones, lamps, and books.

The next stop was the living room, which the designer made a focal point of the apartment. Here, she introduced a fabulous and bright area rug that gave the room a pop of color. She then added a couch with several printed pillows, which provided the right visual interest needed to add depth and texture to the room.

To make the apartment more functional and stylish, the team incorporated a small workspace and dining area with an elegant table for two. Lighting is key to every interior design, and Maya and Sean's apartment was no different. The designer added a track light system that brightened every corner of the studio while disguising the fixtures with a hanging pendant light.

Finally, to give the apartment the right finish, the designer adorn the wall with framed pieces of art, which gave the room an instant sense of sophistication.

In the end, the couple was thrilled with the transformation of their space, admiring the quality and functional upgrades made within their modest budget. The couple's newly transformed studio apartment now reflects their taste and style, as well as their functional needs, thus earning them the perfect classy, elegant, and beautiful living that fits an urban, modern lifestyle.

Overall, Design on a Dime season 13 episode 13, "Luxurious Studio Apartment" is a must-see for all who love interior design and home transformation.
