The episode features a couple, Art and Tina, who own a beautiful home with a spacious master bedroom that they would like to transform into a tranquil retreat. They are seeking the help of the Design on a Dime team to create their vision without breaking the bank.

The show starts with the host, Casey Noble, introducing herself to the couple and discussing their design preferences and budget. She spends time exploring the space, taking measurements and noting the limitations that keep her from being too extravagant with the design.

Casey's idea for Art and Tina's unique challenge is to minimize the visual clutter and simplify the design while creating a serene sanctuary that can serve as an oasis for the couple. She advises them to incorporate muted and calming tones of blue and green to bring out the calmness they desire.

The Design on a Dime team gets to work, starting with decluttering and removing any unnecessary items in the bedroom. They assess the existing furniture and determine which pieces can be reused and which ones to replace. The goal is to maximize the space for the couple's relaxation and comfort.

Since the couple has an antique dresser that they want to keep, the team decides to embrace it and use it as an inspiration for the room's color scheme. They repaint the walls with a modern shade of pale green to complement the dresser's warm wood tones. A hand-painted mural adds depth and texture to the wall behind the bed, and it serves as the room's focal point.

The Design on a Dime team saved extra money by using the couple's existing bedding. They give the bedding a new look by altering the layout and adding bold cushions with patterns and shades that complement the room's color scheme. To provide more storage for the couple, they opt for a loft bed with a built-in closet, which saves space and adds a distinct element to the room.

Art and Tina wanted a detailed lighting plan to ensure the room had serene ambiance whether they’re winding down for the night or relaxing during the day. The Design on a Dime team addressed dark corners that blocked in light by swapping out an outdated ceiling fan for a modern chandelier and, supplemented the natural window light with brighter bedside table lamps.

Accessories were the last focal point. The team added finishing touches with candle sconces, wall art, and an area rug in soft shades of blue that tied the bedroom's decor together. The end result was that each design touch created a restful oasis that features personalized touches, with a calming sense of serenity-and within the couple's budget.

In conclusion, 'Peaceful Bedroom,' episode of Design on a Dime season 9, demonstrates that you can make significant changes to a space without breaking the bank.
