Carmeon, Chris, and Eli compete in the finale of Design Star: Next Gen. This two-stage finale begins with an initial competition in which the designers create a primary bedroom to reflect their own signature style and unique brand. The judges will review the spaces and eliminate one of the three contestants on Day 2. The two remaining designers will race to the grand prize in the second competition, which challenges them to create a full build-out of their dream room including architectural elements. Who will come out on top?

Carmeon divided her design lab bedroom to accommodate both a cozy lounge and a separate sleeping area. Using a wall and open shelving to add definition to the room, she incorporated her signature plants, textures, and patterns to accessorize a seating area. Woven lights brighten the space, and the filtered daylight that pours through the bedroom window helps this small, cozy room feel warm and welcoming.

Moody, dark walls are synonymous with Carmeon’s design style, and in this already-small bedroom, help make the space feel cozy and sophisticated. A French toile wallpaper was used as a focal point on the back wall of the bedroom, and a clean-lined headboard anchors the bed without detracting from the rest of the design.

The addition of the divider wall gives Carmeon’s design extra real estate for decor and accessories like a television, which helps make her space feel very real and relatable. White bedding, curtains and accessories provide a welcomed contrast to the dark, moody walls and vibrant greenery.
