Design on a Dime season 17 episode 11, titled "Lively Living Room", features a challenge to create a colorful and livable space on a budget. Four designers compete to transform a generic living room into a vibrant and inviting space, all while sticking to a tight budget of only $1000.
The episode kicks off with a quick introduction to the designers, each of whom showcases their unique design style. The homeowners are then introduced, and they share their vision and color preferences for the space. The designers have just 48 hours to shop, plan, and execute their designs.
The first designer decides to focus on color and texture, using bold patterns and bright hues to breathe life into the space. She carefully selects a mix of vintage and modern items to create a sense of playfulness and dynamism. She also adds a cozy seating area with playful accents, such as a faux fur rug and colorful throw pillows.
The second designer opts for a clean and contemporary look, using geometric shapes and minimalist furnishings to create a sense of balance and tranquility. She chooses neutral tones with pops of bright green and blue to add a bit of personality to the space. She also creates a custom entertainment unit with plenty of storage.
The third designer takes a more eclectic approach, combining various styles and textures to create a cozy and inviting space. She uses earthy tones, natural materials, and vintage pieces to create a sense of comfort and warmth. She places a large sectional sofa in the center of the room and surrounds it with colorful pillows and textiles.
The fourth designer creates a dramatic and glamorous space, using rich textures, metallics, and bold patterns to create a sense of luxury and sophistication. She chooses a bold navy blue accent wall and adds plenty of plush seating with glitzy accents, such as mirrored side tables and metallic throw pillows.
As the designers work, they face various challenges, such as unexpected furniture delivery delays and shortage of budget. They also receive visits from their mentor who provides them with expert design advice and guidance. Throughout the episode, there is a palpable sense of competition among the designers, each vying for the homeowner's approval to win the challenge.
Once the designs are complete, the homeowners enter the room and are astounded by the transformations. They express their gratitude and admiration for each designer and their unique vision for the space. Ultimately, one designer emerges as the winner, and they are awarded a cash prize.
Overall, Design on a Dime season 17 episode 11 is a fun and exciting competition that showcases each designer's ingenuity and talent. It's a great watch for those looking for affordable design inspiration and tips on creating a cozy and inviting space.
