As much as employers prefer formal settings and old office arrangement, modern work demands a flexible and comfortable workspace that stimulates creativity, productivity, and employee satisfaction. In Design on a Dime season 6 episode 5 named "Hip Office/Guest Room," the show hosts tackled the challenge of revamping an old office into a dynamic and cozy guest room without overwhelming the $1000 budget.
The episode kicks off with the show hosts, Taylor Spellman, and Matt Sanders drives into their client's premise situated in HollyWood. Sasha, an interior and architectural designer, runs a production studio on the second floor of the building, which also serves as a guest house. She was seeking an excellent and functional setup for her diverse clients while accommodating her visiting family and friends.
The hosts took their time to acquaint themselves with Sasha's background, design choices, and style. The design duo got Sasha to fill a brief that would guide the design ideas to make her vision come alive. They needed to manage the space, remove the trinkets, and create a unique fusion of modern and classic.
With a tight budget, Taylor Scott and Matt Sanders worked on a step-by-step plan to transform the cluttered space into a swanky guest room. They started by painting the walls with a bright white tone to give the room a unique and welcoming feel. The ceiling also got a facelift with a black color to create a stunning contrast and make it the statement piece of the room.
Next, the hosts got bespoke shelving that concealed the television and hidden storage for linens and other accessories. They chose a contrasting color of matt black to complement the bright white wall and the wooden floor. They added a comfortable couch that also used as a pull-out bed for guests.
A great centerpiece was created to enhance the bed area's beauty, like the side table and the customized artwork hung above the bed. The hosts chose a fixture that would accommodate Sasha's needs to entertain clients as well as offer adequate lighting for relaxation.
The show hosts also added a comfortable and relaxing feel to the space through a customization of Sasha's initial office. They got a chalkboard and a desk stool and repurposed it into a quirky and conversation starter space. White sheer curtains completed the update and also ensure privacy.
Finally, the duo completes the design by adding some textured bedding and an accent rug, which added a striking statement to the beautiful guest room. Taylor Spellman and Matt Sanders successfully fulfilled the brief of creating a design that would reflect Sasha's personality. The cozy guest room left Sasha beaming and excited about hosting her clients and family.
