Inspirational Designs

HGTV offers many viewers inspiration to redecorate and redesign the bland styles of their homes. Due to the increase in demand for interior designers, many people compete to become known as the best. Personally, no designer beats the upbeat, modern, and colorful designs of David Bromstad. David Bromstad is the winner of the 2006 series of HGTV's Design Star, and as a prize was offered the chance to host his own show Color Splash Miami. David Bromstad takes rooms that are lacking in design and transforms them into a work of art. 

The most important aspect of David Bromstad's designs is color. The use of bright and bold colors allows him to create an unforgettable look.

The use of different shades of color, different textures, and the use of many different shapes and forms of lines creates a well put together look. Interior designing is a form of art, because it requires the knowledge and use of the fundamentals of design. When comparing the before and after pictures, it can be noticed that the use of new shapes and bold shades has completely changed the overall look. The back wall begins with a bright orange and  gradually gets darker to incorporate many more shades of a darker orange rust color to an almost brown color at the very bottom. The use of contrasting blue-gray colored paintings on the orange walls is a strong contrast and allows the color of the wall stand out even more. Making the orange-rust colored wall the dominating feature. This contrast of color as opposed to the lighter beige color on the other walls is main design element that affects the overall look of this room. 

The introduction of new shapes from the varying sizes of spheres on the bed posts, the spherical lanterns,  to the contrasting gray rectangular paintings adds depth to the room. The use of shapes is important as it stands out and gives the room definition. 

The use of textures attracts the eyes of the viewer to different areas of the room. For example, the bumpy texture of the couch and uneven texture of the pieces of carpet add a sort of comfort factor to the bedroom. 

David Bromstad is very successful in using artistic elements such as color, shape, and texture to liven up an generally drab room. The new look of the room highlights the furniture and the accessories that are used. The most important element in the redesign of this room is the use of color.
