Basement Space for Everyone

A boring room is transformed into a basement space for everyone.

Design on a Dime : Episode DOD-2301 -- More Projects »
These homeowners have a huge open basement with no style or cohesion. Marge Garcia is a police officer, and Dan Ellis is a firefighter, so they want the space to be a getaway from their hectic schedule. The Design on a Dime team imparts a creative design that reflects the homeowners' love for the tropics and desire for a relaxing place for their whole family.

The Dilemma
The homeowners weren’t sure what to do about the purple walls that they inherited in their basement when they moved into their condo a few years ago. So, they bought matching purple couches. They have long since decided that the color scheme is not working for them, the layout is all wrong, and there is no character in the space. With two stressful jobs, they want their basement to be a place where they can relax and enjoy time together as a family.
