The "Living Rooms" challenge on this week's episode of Design Star: Next Gen required the designers to customize their existing design labs into a fully remodeled indoor/outdoor space. As if designing two rooms in three days wasn't challenging enough, they also had to incorporate natural elements. Their cohesive designs must have incorporated nature-evoking elements representative of earth, water, fire and air.

Carmeon’s signature style shines in this bedroom modeled to embrace the natural theme of the challenge. A handmade mobile adds movement into the space to symbolize air, while a contrasting modern, square fireplace with white candles promises warmth. Accessorized with gold decor, black picture frames and fresh greenery, this modern bedroom is layered to balance hard and soft elements.

A tall black canopy bed floats in the middle of the bedroom and is anchored by a living headboard filled with lush tropical plants. White curtains, bedding, textured pillows, and jute accents balance the space. Black French doors were added to Carmeon’s design lab to marry her indoor and outdoor designs for the challenge.

Modern black fencing surrounds the exterior of Carmeon’s space, and light concrete pavers and gravel are installed to add permanence. These light and dark elements, along with the natural wood facade of the design lab, tie the inside to this outdoor area. A contemporary black fireplace is installed near the French doors so it can be enjoyed both indoors and out.
