Design on a Dime season 19 episode 7 titled "Day of the Dead Bedroom" is all about creating a festive and vibrant bedroom inspired by the Mexican holiday of Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. The hosts of the show, Casey Noble and Joel West, take on the challenge of transforming a dull and outdated bedroom into a lively space filled with color, pattern, and cultural references.

The episode begins with Noble and West meeting their clients, a couple who have recently moved into a new home and want to give their bedroom a much-needed makeover. The couple's inspiration for the design comes from their love of Mexican culture and history, particularly the vibrant and colorful celebrations of Dia de los Muertos. With this in mind, Noble and West set out to transform the space with a mix of bold colors, playful patterns, and eye-catching accessories.

The first step in the transformation process is selecting a color palette. Noble and West decide on a mix of bright pinks, oranges, yellows, and blues, with accents of black and white to add contrast and depth. They also choose several decorative elements inspired by Dia de los Muertos, including sugar skull artwork, papel picado banners, and decorative candles.

Next, Noble and West set their sights on the furniture and other key pieces in the room. They decide to keep the bed and dresser, but give them a fresh coat of paint in a bright, cheerful color. They also add new bedding in a bold geometric pattern, and layer on pillows and throw blankets in complementary colors and patterns.

To create a feature wall in the room, Noble and West decide to install wallpaper with a colorful and intricate pattern inspired by traditional Mexican textiles. They also add a series of decorative shelves to the wall, which they fill with colorful vases, flower arrangements, and other decorative pieces.

One of the most striking features of the new design is a large, colorful mural of a sugar skull that Noble and West paint directly onto one of the walls in the room. The mural adds a bold and playful touch to the space, and ties in perfectly with the Dia de los Muertos theme.

Throughout the design process, Noble and West also take the time to incorporate a number of DIY projects into the room. These projects include creating decorative candle holders out of mason jars and black sand, painting a plain lampshade with colorful stripes, and repurposing a wooden shutter as a decorative headboard.

As the episode comes to a close, Noble and West reveal the newly transformed bedroom to their clients. The couple is overjoyed with the final result, and can't wait to start enjoying their bright and colorful new space.

Overall, Design on a Dime season 19 episode 7 is a fun and festive episode that showcases the power of color and creativity to transform a drab and outdated bedroom into a vibrant and inviting space. With its mix of bold colors, playful patterns, and cultural references, this episode is sure to inspire viewers who are looking to infuse their own homes with a little bit of personality and style.
