As one of Southern California's most successful house flippers, Tarek El Moussa knows a thing or two about turning a profit. And in season 1 episode 12 of Flipping 101 with Tarek El Moussa, titled "Bad Energy BoHo," he's faced with the task of helping a young couple transform a dated Bohemian-style home into a modern masterpiece.
When Tarek arrives at the property, he's taken aback by the home's cluttered and dark interior. The walls are covered in patterned wallpaper, the floors are stained carpet, and the kitchen is straight out of the 1970s. Tarek quickly realizes that in order to make a profit on this flip, they'll have to do some serious renovations.
First up: decluttering. Tarek brings in a professional organizer to help the couple pare down their belongings and get rid of anything that's not serving a purpose in the home. With the clutter out of the way, Tarek is able to see the potential in the space and begins planning a complete remodel.
Throughout the episode, viewers watch as Tarek tackles each room in the house, transforming the outdated spaces into bright and modern areas that are sure to appeal to potential buyers. He replaces the carpets with sleek hardwood flooring, removes the dated popcorn ceiling, and updates the kitchen with contemporary fixtures and appliances.
But perhaps the biggest transformation of all comes in the living room. The walls were previously lined with busy, patterned wallpaper that made the space feel cramped and cluttered. Tarek works with a local artist to create a custom mural that adds a bold pop of color to the room. It's a controversial choice, but one that ultimately pays off when the house sells for top dollar.
Throughout the episode, Tarek also offers tips and tricks for aspiring flippers. He shares his strategies for finding good deals, managing budget, and dealing with unexpected challenges. And of course, he dishes out plenty of his trademark tough love as he pushes the couple to make the necessary changes to turn this bohemian house into a modern masterpiece.
Ultimately, the couple is thrilled with the transformation and is able to sell the house for a profit. And viewers are left with plenty of inspiration and ideas for their own home renovation projects.
