Ep 11. Engaged to Change

In Home Made Simple season 13 episode 11, titled "Engaged to Change," viewers are introduced to a young couple who have recently become engaged and are eager to start their life together. However, before they can move in together, they need to conquer the challenge of blending their two very different decorating styles and making their space functional for both of them.

The couple consists of Ryan, a laid-back musician with a love of all things vintage, and his fiancé, Jess, a fashion-forward businesswoman who prefers clean lines and modern décor. The pair has been splitting their time between two different apartments but is ready to find a new home together that they can both call their own.

To help them achieve their dream home, the Home Made Simple team steps in to offer expert advice and renovation know-how. Host Laila Ali introduces the couple to designer Kim Myles, who will lead them through the process of creating a personalized space that combines their two unique styles.

The first step in the process is a thorough assessment of their belongings and preferences. Kim spends time chatting with the couple about their favorite colors, patterns, and furniture pieces, and also takes a careful look at their existing décor and collections. She quickly identifies areas where the couple's styles overlap, as well as those where they are vastly different.

With this information in hand, Kim sets to work on designing a cohesive space where both partners will feel comfortable and happy. She incorporates mid-century modern touches that Ryan loves, like bold geometric patterns and funky 60s-inspired wall art. She also includes touches of Jess's elegant style, such as streamlined modern lighting and minimalist furnishings.

The next step in the process is a full-scale renovation of their chosen home. The Home Made Simple team gets to work on transforming the space into a functional and beautiful retreat that reflects the couple's unique personalities. The renovation includes everything from new paint and flooring to custom-built cabinets and furniture pieces.

Throughout the process, the couple is kept in the loop and encouraged to provide feedback and input. They are thrilled to see their new space coming together and are impressed with Kim's ability to blend their styles seamlessly.

Finally, the big day arrives when Ryan and Jess get to see their new home for the first time. They are overjoyed with the transformation and can hardly believe it's the same space. They marvel at the unique touches that reflect each of their personalities, from the vintage record collection to the sleek and modern kitchen.

The episode ends with the couple enjoying their new space and expressing how grateful they are for the Home Made Simple team's help in creating a home that truly reflects their unique style and tastes. Viewers are left inspired and empowered to create their own unique spaces that reflect their lifestyles and personalities.
