Design on a Dime season 5 episode 8, titled "Eclectic Music Room," is an episode that showcases how a family's unused and drab music room is transformed into a vibrant space where they can bond, play, and create music. The episode takes viewers through a journey of design and creativity as the room undergoes a complete makeover on a budget.

The show starts with the family discussing their desires for the room. They want a space where everyone can hang out comfortably while playing music, a creative room that reflects their personalities, and a space that will inspire artistic expression. With these desires in mind, the show's expert designer, Kristan Cunningham, gets to work.

Kristan chooses to go with an eclectic style, which features a mix of textures, patterns, and colors. The designer's first step is to declutter the space and remove the existing and outdated furniture. After that, Kristan begins to work on the walls, with an eye-catching leopard pattern wallpaper and a vintage-inspired sectional serving as a statement piece.

The design expert pays a lot of attention to the lighting, selecting a chandelier with a unique design that complements the room's eclectic style. She also adds table lamps and floor lamps to provide ample lighting and a cozy ambiance.

The show's budget constraints did not deter Kristan from adding unique features to the room. She sourced affordable items from various stores and even went to the family's attic to find hidden treasures. Amongst the found items were old vinyl records, which Kristan creatively incorporated into the decor. The team spray-painted several frames to create unique wall art, and the records were blended with the frames to produce stunning and original artwork.

Kristan curated an extensive collection of throw pillows that add pops of color and texture to the couch, complementing the rest of the furniture. The result is a cohesive design that reflects the family's personality and produces a warm and welcoming space.

Finally, it is time to add the finishing touches. The show's DIY experts create a photo wall that features the family's photographs, strategically placed to add depth and style to the room. Kristan adds several decorative items, including antique mirrors, decorative vases, and vintage-inspired drum coffee tables that are stylishly unique and functional.

The family's reaction to the final product is priceless. They enter the room, and their joy is evident in their faces. Kristan's design transforms their drab music room into a vibrant, creative, and comfortable space that reflects the family's music oriented- lifestyle and interests.

To sum up, the Design on a Dime season 5 episode 8, "Eclectic Music Room," showcases a transformational design process that incorporates an eclectic style on a budget. The show's expert designer, Kristan Cunningham, creatively uses affordable items from different stores and the family's hidden treasures to produce original artworks and create a cozy and warm ambiance.
