In Home Made Simple season 13 episode 4 titled "Expecting... a Bedroom Surprise," viewers are taken through a fun and exciting home makeover. The episode features a couple, who are not only expecting their first child, but also in need of a bedroom transformation.
The episode begins with Laila Ali, the host of the show, visiting the couple's home to assess their bedroom and gather ideas on how to transform the space. The couple expresses their desire for a cozy and elegant yet functional bedroom that is baby-friendly. They want a space that is warm and inviting, where they can rest, relax, and bond with their baby when they arrive.
With the couple's vision in mind, Laila and her team get to work. They start by decluttering and organizing the bedroom to make room for the new baby and their belongings. Laila explains the importance of decluttering and creating functional storage spaces to keep things organized once the baby arrives.
Next, Laila and her team tackle the design elements of the bedroom. They begin by selecting a color palette that is soothing and calming, which includes a soft gray for the walls and navy blue accents. They also incorporate various textures like velvet, faux fur, and woven materials to create depth and contrast in the room.
To add a touch of elegance and sophistication, the team creates a statement wall featuring a navy blue upholstered headboard with tufted detailing. They also add a pair of nightstands with elegant brass hardware and matching lamps that provide soft and warm lighting.
In addition to incorporating design elements that are aesthetically pleasing, the team also focuses on creating a safe and baby-friendly environment. They add a bassinet next to the bed to keep the baby close, a comfortable glider for nursing, and baby-proofing elements like electrical outlet covers and a baby gate.
To add the final touches, the team adds some decor elements that reflect the couple's personalities and story. They create a gallery wall featuring photos of the couple and their loved ones, as well as adding some personal touches like a "love" sign and a compass to reflect the couple's love of travel.
Overall, the couple is thrilled with their new and improved bedroom.
