Design on a Dime season 3 episode 9 showcases a beautiful transformation of a living room into a tropical-style retreat. The episode follows designer Kristan Cunningham as she helps a couple transform their plain living room into a vibrant and tropical oasis.
The couple loves the idea of a tropical theme but are unsure of how to incorporate it into their living space. Kristan starts by finding the perfect tropical print fabric for the curtains and pillows. She then chooses a bamboo rug and adds wicker chairs for a natural and earthy feel.
To tie in the tropical theme, Kristan adds a large palm tree as a centerpiece for the room. She also uses bright green accent pieces throughout the space to enhance the natural elements. The final touch is a relaxing and soothing water fountain that adds to the tropical retreat atmosphere.
The transformation is not just limited to the decor in the living room. Kristan also focuses on rearranging the furniture layout to create a more open and flowing space. She creates a cozy conversation area by placing the chairs and sofa in a circle around a coffee table. This also allows for the perfect views of the backyard where the couple has a beautiful garden with tropical plants.
Kristan also emphasizes the importance of lighting in a living room. She adds a combination of floor lamps and table lamps to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. She chooses lamps with bamboo and natural materials to enhance the tropical theme.
The final result is breathtaking. The living room has been transformed into a serene and peaceful retreat that feels like an escape to a tropical paradise. The new layout and decor have also improved the functionality of the space and increased the overall flow of the room.
Overall, Design on a Dime season 3 episode 9 is a great example of how to incorporate a specific theme into a living space without breaking the bank. The transformation is both beautiful and functional and showcases how small changes can make a big impact.
