Ep 8. Liliana and Frank's Living/Dining Room

Pure Design season 1 episode 8, titled "Liliana and Frank's Living/Dining Room," features the design and renovation of the two most important rooms in Liliana and Frank's home. Host Samantha Pynn takes on the task of updating and revamping their dull and outdated space, giving it a fresh and modern look.

At the start of the episode, viewers are introduced to Liliana and Frank, who have been living in their house for over fifteen years. Samantha points out that the current living/dining room is cluttered and cramped, with outdated furniture, dingy curtains, and a dark color scheme. The couple admits that the space doesn't work for them anymore, and they're ready for a change.

Samantha begins the renovation process by assessing the space and identifying areas of improvement. She quickly realizes the space is too cluttered and the furniture is not arranged in a way that maximizes the available space. In addition to that, the color scheme is too dark, making the room feel small and cramped. The first step she takes is decluttering and clearing out unnecessary items. Samantha believes that the space will look and feel much more modern by incorporating more light and neutral colors.

After decluttering, Samantha begins choosing new furniture pieces for the living and dining spaces. The couple has specific requests, including using a sectional sofa, incorporating a bar cart and an art piece. Samantha chooses a sectional that is both stylish and functional and also creates a separate area for the bar cart. Moreover, she selects an oversized piece of art that becomes the focal point of the room.

Samantha comes up with a layout that maximizes the living and dining area's space while also ensuring that it doesn't become too crowded. She creates a balance between the two spaces by using plants, light-tone walls, and wood accents in the space. She uses green plants to accentuate the neutral color scheme and bring life into the room.

Throughout the renovation process, Samantha ensures that the couple's budget and style preferences are taken into account. She keeps them updated throughout the process, and the result is a refreshed living and dining space that the couple loves.

As the renovation nears completion, Samantha highlights the new design elements that have been included in the space. The sectional sofa with velvet finish and custom-made dining table with matching chairs add a luxurious feel to the space. The artwork also elevates the room and draws attention to the focal point of the room.

In conclusion, "Liliana and Frank's Living/Dining Room" is an excellent episode of Pure Design that showcases Samantha's design skills in transforming a dingy and crowded space into a modern and chic living and dining area that perfectly reflects the couple's style. The episode is informative and inspirational, providing viewers with tips and insights that they can apply when renovating their own space. The success of the renovation is a testament to Samantha's expertise in creating beautiful and functional spaces for her clients.
