Design on a Dime Season 16 Episode 6: Eclectic Feminine Bedroom
In this episode of Design on a Dime, designer Casey Noble takes on the challenge of creating an eclectic and feminine bedroom space on a tight budget. The client, a young woman with a love for bold patterns and bright colors, wants a space that is both functional and stylish, but doesn't have a lot of money to spend.
Noble begins by assessing the existing space and identifying areas where she can make big changes without breaking the bank. She decides to focus on the main elements of the room - the bed, the walls, and the flooring - in order to make the biggest impact.
For the bed, Noble chooses a simple white frame and adds a collection of colorful throw pillows to give it personality and style. She uses a mix of patterns and textures - including bold florals, graphic stripes, and soft velvet - to create a look that is both playful and sophisticated.
To add interest to the walls, Noble decides to create a focal point with a gallery wall featuring a mix of vintage and modern art and accessories. She combines framed prints with quirky objects - like a collection of vintage cameras and a colorful wall hanging - to give the space a unique and personal feel.
For the flooring, Noble chooses a simple beige carpet and adds a colorful area rug to anchor the space. The rug features a mix of bold patterns and colors, tying together the various elements in the room and adding a sense of cohesion.
Noble also pays attention to the smaller details in the room, like bedding and lighting. She chooses a mix of bright and pastel colors for the bedding, creating a playful and inviting feel. She also adds a mix of lighting options - including a table lamp and string lights - to ensure that the space is well-lit and cozy.
Throughout the episode, Noble offers tips and tricks for designing on a dime, including how to shop for accessories on a budget and how to mix and match patterns and colors. She also explains the importance of balancing bold statement pieces with more neutral elements to create a cohesive and stylish look.
By the end of the episode, Noble has transformed the once-bland bedroom into a colorful and eclectic space that perfectly reflects the client's personality and style. The finished room is both functional and beautiful, proving that with a little creativity and a lot of style, anyone can design a space they love on a tight budget.
