Design on a Dime is a popular home design show that has been on the air for over twenty seasons. In each episode, a team of professional designers and decorators are challenged to create stunning new looks for their clients' homes, all while working with a limited budget. In season 21, episode 5, titled "Relaxing, Entertaining Space," the team is tasked with transforming a large, open living room into a space that is both comfortable and practical.
The episode begins with the team meeting the homeowners, a young couple who have just moved into their first home together. The living room is a large, blank slate, with white walls and hardwood floors. The couple tells the team that they want the space to be both relaxing and entertaining, and that they are willing to spend up to $5,000 on the project.
The team gets to work right away, starting with the furniture. They choose a large sectional sofa in a neutral color, with plenty of room for guests to sit and relax. They also add a coffee table and a couple of side tables, as well as a large area rug to anchor the space.
Next, the team turns their attention to the walls. They decide to paint them a soft blue-gray color, which will help to create a relaxing atmosphere. They also add some texture with a faux brick wallpaper on one of the walls.
To make the space even more cozy, the team adds plenty of throw pillows and blankets, as well as a few plants and some decorative accessories. They also install new curtains on the windows, which not only add to the decor but also help to block out any unwanted sunlight.
For the entertainment aspect of the space, the team decides to install a large, wall-mounted TV and a soundbar. They also add a gaming console and an assortment of board games for some old-fashioned fun. To keep the space organized, they install a custom-built media center, complete with plenty of storage for DVDs, video games, and other entertainment items.
The team also adds a bar cart to the space, which can be used for both entertaining and relaxing. They stock it with all the necessary tools and ingredients for mixing cocktails, as well as some fun accessories like personalized drink stirrers and coasters.
Overall, the team is able to create a beautiful and functional space that is perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. The young couple is thrilled with the result, and can't wait to start enjoying their new living room. Thanks to Design on a Dime, they were able to transform their space without breaking the bank.
