Design Your Dream Room

I was surfing through my favorite channels the other day when I landed on Top Design on Bravo. I just caught the end of the show and realized it was like Project Runway but for interior designers. I thought I'd check it out so set my DVR to catch all the previous episodes so I could watch them in order. In the meantime I went to bravotv.com to see what it was about.

While there I discovered my new obsession: Design Your Dream Room. They call it a game but it's more like a coloring book where you can choose the paint, furniture and accessories for a living room. Over 20,000 rooms have been created so far. Bedrooms are coming soon. I can't wait.

Here are the rooms I've designed so far:

#16273: My first try. I like the combination of colors and the pattern on the vertical lamp.


#16360: This might be my favorite of the lot. I like the colors overall and the style and arrangement of furniture. I think I forgot to color the chandelier though.


#16661: I love the dark green walls and the light complimentary green on the furniture. It looks like there's spot lighting right in the middle of the room. That red pillow is awesome! I should've done something else with the windows though.


#19395: Joanna designed a room which made me aware I was under-using the patterns offered in the game so I challenged myself to do a room with no solid colors. Some of the patterns are quite odd but I like this result.


#19689: I'm not a huge fan of orange but this room looks pretty comfy. I like the pattern on the side walls.


#19702: I wanted to use the L-shaped couch so combined it with the TV on the wall. I couldn't find any chairs that really worked so I'm assuming whoever lives here will get extra seating from another room. I love how that pattern on the pillow makes it look like it's angled into the curve of the couch.


#19734: I wanted to use the greens but they're just making me a little ill looking at them. I don't really like the two chairs together as a sofa either. The pattern on the curtains works well. I wish I could go back and edit it.


#19759: I stole the sides of this room from someone else's design but I didn't think their combination of furniture and accessories worked very well so I thought I'd take a pass. I really like this result, especially the art on the back wall.


#20941: I started this room with the back wall of brick and wanted to make a cozy, basement-type room. It was a challenge to find the patterns that would go together. Do you like this one?

If you design a room, email me your result. I'd love to see your work.
