Design on a Dime is an interior design show where a team of experts revamp rooms for a budget of $1,000 or less. In season 4, episode 9, titled "Rat Pack Master Bedroom," the team takes on the challenge of redesigning a master bedroom in a 1950s home.
The homeowners, Jason and Jenny, have always loved the Rat Pack era and wanted their bedroom to reflect that era's glamour and sophistication. However, they also had a limited budget and didn't know how to bring their vision to life without breaking the bank. That's where the team of experts came in, with designer Kristan Cunningham leading the charge.
Before the redesign, the couple's bedroom was cluttered and lacked the sleek, sophisticated vibe they craved. The walls were beige, and the carpet was worn and outdated. The team knew they had to do some major work to turn this room into the Rat Pack-inspired space the homeowners dreamed of.
To start, the team ripped out the old carpet and replaced it with hardwood floors, which immediately gave the room a more luxurious feel. The walls were painted a deep blue, which created a dramatic backdrop for the new design elements.
One of the highlights of the room was the custom-made headboard, which was covered in a rich velvet fabric and had a tufted design that was reminiscent of the Rat Pack era. The headboard was flanked by two vintage-style lamps, which added to the room's overall retro vibe.
The team also added a series of art prints that depicted famous Rat Pack members like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. These prints were hung in sleek black frames, which really made them pop against the blue walls.
To add some texture to the space, the team added a faux fur throw and a pair of gold decorative pillows, which sat atop the bedspread. These small touches helped to make the room feel more layered and luxurious.
Other notable design features included a sleek black dresser, which was adorned with gold hardware, and a series of vintage suitcases that were stacked in a corner of the room. These suitcases not only looked cool, but also added some much-needed storage to the space.
Overall, the Rat Pack Master Bedroom was a huge success. The homeowners couldn't believe how different the room looked and felt after the redesign. They were thrilled with the vintage glamour and sophistication that the team was able to bring to their space - all while staying within their $1,000 budget. The Rat Pack would have surely approved of this room's glamour and sophistication.
