In Design on a Dime season 18 episode 1, titled '70s-Inspired Bedroom', interior designer Sabrina Soto transforms a dull and lifeless bedroom into a bright and bold space with a groovy twist. The homeowners, Anna and Carlos, have been living in their home for five years and have always neglected their bedroom due to budget constraints.
Sabrina's design plan includes incorporating elements of the 70s era, which Anna and Carlos both love. She starts by choosing a statement wallpaper with a retro pattern in shades of green, orange, and pink for the accent wall. This creates an anchor point for the entire room and sets the stage for the rest of the design.
To create more storage in the small bedroom, Sabrina builds a custom headboard with built-in shelves and cubbies. The headboard is painted in a deep forest green color that complements the wallpaper, and the shelves are accessorized with vintage decor and books.
Sabrina adds more retro flair with a vintage brass chandelier, a shag area rug in shades of brown and orange, and a bedside table with a terrazzo top. She also incorporates a green velvet accent chair by the window, creating a cozy reading nook.
For the bedding, Sabrina chooses a neutral white duvet cover and accent pillows in shades of green, orange, and brown. She also adds a playful throw pillow with a llama print, bringing a touch of humor to the space.
To complete the transformation, Sabrina adds finishing touches like artwork in a gallery wall layout, a hanging macrame plant holder, and accessories like a lava lamp and a record player.
Throughout the episode, Sabrina emphasizes the importance of staying within a budget and finding affordable decor options. She also encourages the homeowners to bring their personalities into the design, making it a space that reflects their style and taste.
Overall, '70s-Inspired Bedroom' is a fun and vibrant episode of Design on a Dime, showcasing how a little creativity and budget-friendly solutions can transform a room into a personalized and stylish retreat.
