Design on a Dime season 7 episode 4 titled "Artist's Lounge" follows the team of designers as they take on the challenge of transforming a bland basement into an artist's paradise. The homeowners, a couple sharing their space with their son, are in desperate need of an update from the outdated space they currently have. The designers collaborate with local artists to create a space that incorporates art and functionality into one stunning space.
The episode begins with the homeowners sharing their ideas and goals for their basement renovation. They discuss their love for art and desire for a space where they can both work and showcase their art collection. The Design on a Dime team takes these ideas and runs with them, brainstorming different ways to incorporate art into the space without overwhelming the small area.
The team gets to work, starting with a fresh coat of paint on the walls. They choose a light blue color that will serve as the perfect backdrop for the various art pieces that will be on display. The next challenge is to find affordable yet stylish furniture that will add both comfort and functionality to the space, without breaking the bank. The designers scour local flea markets and thrift stores, looking for unique pieces that can be refurbished to fit the homeowners' needs.
One of the most exciting aspects of this episode is when the Design on a Dime team brings in local artists to create custom pieces for the space. The artists work with the homeowners to create pieces that speak to their personal style and aesthetic. They create a large canvas painting that serves as a statement piece in the room and also paint an accent wall with a unique design that adds interest and intrigue.
The team also works on the lighting design in the space. They choose soft, warm lighting that adds to the cozy and inviting feel of the room. Finally, they bring in various plants and greenery to add life and freshness to the basement.
As with all Design on a Dime episodes, the big reveal is the most exciting part. The homeowners are thrilled with the transformation of their space and are amazed at what the team has been able to accomplish within their budget. The new space is both functional and visually stunning, perfect for art and relaxation.
