Ep 13. Your Room's Underwear is Showing, but a Mega Den Will Dress You Up in Style

Your Room's Underwear is Showing, But a Mega Den Will Dress You Up in Style – may sound like a rather humorous title for an episode of Mega Dens, but what it actually encompasses is a lot more insightful. The show follows design expert Anitra Mecadon, as she transforms ordinary living spaces into extraordinary mega dens, incorporating not only unique design features but also the passions, interests and personalities of their owners.

In this episode, viewers get a glimpse of a family that has a den that is stuck in the past. They’ve got their 1990s entertainment center, giant pillows and not much else. The challenge for Anitra is to transform this outdated space into a modern, functional, and stylish entertainment room that will suit the family’s needs and preferences. Her intention is to create a space that the whole family can enjoy and feel comfortable in, thereby bringing them closer together.

On closer inspection, Anitra discovers that the butler’s pantry located in the family’s kitchen is quite spacious and in great shape. She gets the idea to demolish the old entertainment center and create a supersized pantry on one side of the wall, with a mega den on the other side.

To bring about this transformation, Anitra has to strip everything to the bare walls. She replaces the outdated carpet and dull beige walls with trendy and functional tiles in shades of brown. She then constructs customized cabinets and shelving for the pantry to enhance both its functionality and style.

The upholstery fabrics that the family gave Anitra as inspiration feature fuchsia and turquoise, and Anitra uses these colors as the basis for the entire design. The sofa and other furniture pieces are upholstered in a rich, velvety blue, while the walls are adorned with unique wallpaper covered in fuchsia-throated birds and leaves. The curtains, pillows, and floorings are in shades of turquoise and various colorful patterns and textures, providing a vibrant and youthful feel to the space.

Anitra also decides to incorporate a variety of eclectic elements into the design. She creates a sleek, curved desk and bar unit and places them with the TV console, adding a touch of sophistication to the room. She also creates funky L-shaped floating shelves, adorned in various shapes and textures, which provide valuable storage space while adding an element of playfulness.

In the end, Anitra delivers a mega den that exudes style, comfort and functionality. The new room features a pantry that caters to the family’s needs, while the den incorporates all the family’s passions loyally. The family is delighted with their new space – it’s versatile, functional, stylish, and most importantly, brings them together.
