1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,480
I've been here weeks,
I tell you, weeks,

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,040
getting this place ready
for a whole new batch

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,360
of interior-design enthusiasts.

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,920
The things I've had to do
with a paint brush...

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,160
Ten aspiring designers are putting
their lives on hold

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:19,840
in search of a dream...

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,080
Yes, I am talented

8
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:23,680
and it's a great opportunity for me
to showcase my talent.

9
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,280
..to break into the competitive
world

10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,640
of professional interior design.

11
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,800
You only live once, and what
I absolutely love is being creative.

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,440
With interiors guru
Michelle Ogundehin at the helm...

13
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,880
Everyone with a passion for design
thinks they can be

14
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,240
an interior designer,

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,600
but I'm looking for someone
<font color="

16
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,560
and sees this as a real opportunity
to learn.

17
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,160
..they'll need to impress some of
the biggest names in the industry.

18
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:53,560
Hello, '80s! I've missed you.

19
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,720
This feels like an idea that should
have been instantly put aside.

20
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,480
I am scraping the barrel
<font color="

21
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,440
because I do love this room.

22
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,400
This is what we're looking for.
Fearless decorating.

23
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,680
Each week, the designers
will be challenged to transform

24
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:09,880
a commercial space...

25
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,960
Open the door, I'm coming in!

26
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:14,520
Ugh! Thought you were going
to squish my head there!

27
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,600
..to test their creative flair...

28
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,560
<font color="

29
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,160
..and state-of-the-art
design skills.

30
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,560
Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.

31
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,280
SMASH!

32
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,400
Sometimes when you're trying to do
too much at once, accidents happen.

33
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,120
I think you've sabotaged me!

34
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,080
You've ruined that beautiful carpet!

35
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,280
It's harder than it looks!

36
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,720
They'll be pushed to their limits...

37
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,120
<font color="
back is probably myself.

38
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,440
..as they compete to win
a major career-defining contract

39
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,080
with a luxury hotel in the Lakes.

40
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,920
That would definitely be
my absolute dream.

41
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,960
Welcome to Interior Design Masters.

42
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,440
ALAN SIGHS

43
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,200
The designers assembling
at Michelle's studio

44
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,640
come from all walks of life...

45
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:14,480
<font color="
production designer for film.

46
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,160
Oh, my God! I'm a bit scared of you
now, actually.

47
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,040
No, don't be!

48
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,400
..but with one shared passion.

49
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,840
I work part-time for the NHS but,
obviously, interiors are my love,

50
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,400
<font color="
I'm from a fashion background.

51
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:32,160
I put so much of my personality
and myself in my designs for me,

52
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,360
so I guess that's going
to be the biggest challenge,

53
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,440
to actually create something
for somebody else.

54
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,680
<font color="

55
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,240
My front room is black and white,
but none of the other designs

56
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,920
that I've done. Interesting.

57
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:46,200
I'm a good designer
because I know what I like

58
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,680
and have an eye for seeing things

59
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,680
<font color="
don't normally notice.

60
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,840
You've got yellow nails.

61
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,320
Watch out, the colour is coming.

62
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,880
There is definitely something
about having children

63
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,000
and going on maternity leave
that has pushed me

64
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,600
<font color="

65
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,200
Even though it's a very busy time
of my life,

66
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,960
I'm focusing on this completely.

67
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,440
I work for a beauty retailer. OK.

68
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,840
So, how does that lend itself
to interiors?

69
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,360
<font color="
whatsoever!

70
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,560
Interior design makes me feel alive.

71
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:14,920
My heart beats.

72
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:18,480
You know when you're stuck
in a lift and the whole thing drops?

73
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,600
It's that feeling that I get inside.

74
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,360
Surprise!<font color="

75
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,160
Hello, everyone!

76
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,920
EXCITED HUBBUB

77
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:32,160
Welcome to the design lab.

78
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,480
Hoo-hoo-hoo!

79
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,520
Are you excited?
ALL: Yes.

80
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,680
They say you can tell a lot
from a designer,

81
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,400
from the clothes they wear,

82
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,400
so it's going to be interesting,
this series.

83
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,760
I'm loving it. Pink makes the boys
wink, doesn't it? Certainly does.

84
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,000
Now, the lady you need to impress
is the queen of what's hot

85
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,840
in interior design.

86
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,440
It's series judge
Michelle Ogundehin.

87
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,760
Michelle... Welcome.

88
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,480
ALL: Hi!
So, this is it.

89
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,880
This is your first big step
towards becoming professional

90
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,480
interior designers
and your first chance to impress.

91
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,880
<font color="
with show homes.

92
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,600
So, I want you to think
"sophistication and aspirational".

93
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,840
Based in Oxford,
these high-end contemporary homes

94
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,960
have the potential
to sell for £1 million.

95
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,000
Working in pairs, each designer
will have either a living room

96
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,400
or bedroom to transform
into a beautiful space

97
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,720
that will appeal to a wide range
of potential purchasers.

98
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,680
After you've done your designs,
the two weakest teams

99
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,560
will have a face-off with Michelle,

100
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,160
and then it's not good news for one
designer - you'll be going home.

101
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,160
So, that's it, challenge number one.

102
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,160
Good luck.Good luck.

103
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,920
With their individual room schemes
already prepared,

104
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,440
the teams share their plans
with their partners.

105
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,600
I'm so excited to see your design.

106
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,480
<font color="
to see your design. Yeah.

107
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,040
I want this room
to still look like Amy's room,

108
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,840
but being mindful of the brief.

109
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:05,520
I will always make my decisions
based on my heart

110
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,080
<font color="

111
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,600
and the things that make me go,
"Woooo!"

112
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,760
cos I think that's part
of the fun of design.

113
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,160
So, go on, tell me what
you're doing. OK.

114
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,840
Mum-of-three Amy is working
with upholsterer Micaela.

115
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:20,600
<font color="
upholstery, so... I mean...yes.

116
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,080
It's kind of essential, isn't it?

117
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,880
I grew up with my grandparents,
and my grandad was a carpenter.

118
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,880
So, as well as, obviously,
the upholstery side and the soft

119
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,520
<font color="
I'm quite handy with a drill.

120
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,480
I want to use a seagrass wallpaper.
I love the paper.

121
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,480
That's my background, so that's
what I'M really into. Fantastic.

122
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,400
Also paired up
are former doctor Peter

123
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,400
and retail manager Paul.

124
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,880
<font color="

125
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,280
person. I normally only enter things

126
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:48,520
that I believe I have a good chance
of winning.

127
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,000
I have my own unique style
that doesn't go unnoticed.

128
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,680
It's very hotel-like. It's like a
hotel that I want to go and stay in.

129
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,160
<font color="
I kind of wanted that energy,

130
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,440
of that luxurious,
beautiful hotel that you go to,

131
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,920
but then you want to kind of stay.

132
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,640
I was a doctor for eight years
and then last year I decided

133
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,200
that I really wanted
<font color="

134
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,880
so I quit medicine and I am working
on my way to becoming

135
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,640
an interior designer full-time.

136
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,080
I just want to move into that house
now - that's my dream home.

137
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,280
It's going to be great. Yeah!

138
00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:19,760
Michelle, what are you looking for
in this task?

139
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,240
What's "aspirational"?

140
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,360
Because, for me, buying
a bag for life is aspirational.

141
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,520
It's a tricky one, show homes,
because someone buying these houses

142
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,080
is going to make a decision
in seconds.Yeah.

143
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,040
And they've got to get that balance
between stunning them,

144
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,320
but not shocking.

145
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,960
<font color="
are the ones that get

146
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,680
that balance between showing me
enough of a style,

147
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,840
but remembering that the client
is everything.Mm.

148
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:48,160
I can't wait to see your design.

149
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,680
Working on their show home together
are NHS worker Siobhan

150
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,600
and film set designer Mona.

151
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,480
Behind the bed is going to be
a wall panelling. OK.

152
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,240
And the headboard I'll try
to make myself. Right.

153
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,040
I normally hate curtains.

154
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,040
Any kind of... I hate it.

155
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,600
I never use curtain.

156
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,600
<font color="
we do it.

157
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,040
If I have the control,
I'll make sure the design work

158
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,400
is exactly how I want it to be.

159
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,120
I think with it being a show home,

160
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,120
I think they will expect curtains,
<font color="

161
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,840
I can go with...
Ladies. Oh, my goodness!

162
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,080
Mona. Siobhan.
Hello! Hi Alan.

163
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,680
What ideas have you got cooking up?

164
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,040
I am injecting some of my
personality with some bespoke

165
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,840
<font color="
gold, and some bespoke artwork.

166
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,720
Are you quite good to separate
your personality from your work?

167
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,040
No, I've never done it before
because I've always

168
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,440
been decorating in my house,

169
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,200
so you're decorating for me
and I love pink and I love,

170
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,240
<font color="

171
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,000
I'm definitely not minimalist.

172
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,280
I'm a maximalist.

173
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,440
And more is more, in my opinion.

174
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,160
I like to, you know,
for somebody to walk into a room

175
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,120
and be, like, blown away.

176
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,520
The main element of this room
<font color="

177
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,600
The idea was to divide the space,
but not block the view.

178
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,280
Also teamed up are former
visual merchandiser Barbara

179
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,680
and textile designer Charlotte.

180
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,800
I am making a coffee table
and a desk as well.

181
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,960
There's a lot!
You've crammed a lot in!

182
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,520
<font color="
Can we get it done?

183
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,960
I think maybe we might strip
back a couple of things in yours,

184
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,120
looking at the timetable, maybe.

185
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,600
Yeah.

186
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,680
There's a natural instinct
to get excited and want to show

187
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,400
<font color="

188
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,520
and show homes aren't necessarily
the place

189
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,520
to put every cool, creative lighting
idea or whatever that you have.

190
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,920
Looked like you've done it really,
really well,

191
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,400
but is that the right full package
<font color="

192
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:41,760
I think she's right.

193
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,560
I've certainly taken some risks,

194
00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:45,520
but I'm trying to keep it
as classical

195
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,480
and within the brief as possible.

196
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,120
So, I think with this challenge,
for me, it's a little bit

197
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,760
<font color="

198
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:58,360
On the outskirts
of the historic city,

199
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,680
five identical luxury homes...

200
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,480
It's huge, isn't it?

201
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,160
The windows are massive.

202
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,320
Each a blank canvas,

203
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,160
ready to be transformed.

204
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,040
Oh, my God.
How are we supposed to...?

205
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,800
Taking on a room each,

206
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:18,200
the designers can choose to use the
existing furniture or go bespoke.

207
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,200
<font color="

208
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,080
That's really lovely.

209
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,320
Each pair will have help
from builders,

210
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,480
decorators and electricians.

211
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,480
I've got a lot of work for you
to do today.

212
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,920
With a budget of £1,500...

213
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,800
There's no feet. Ah!

214
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,400
I've literally just had
a heart attack.

215
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,960
..they now have just two days
to complete their designs.

216
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,800
I'm just like, "I'm going
to go for it." Yeah.

217
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,720
What is there to lose? Yeah.

218
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,120
That window is a good size cos you
can never buy extra natural light.

219
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,600
In the first house,
Peter's in charge of the bedroom...

220
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,760
<font color="
that's been wallpapered,

221
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,600
but these are just remaining as is.

222
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,840
I've gone for a classic take
on a contemporary room,

223
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,920
keeping the colour palette
restrained with navy wood tones

224
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,480
and natural textured materials,
<font color="

225
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,200
fabrics, bamboo, all to give depth
and give that luxe feel.

226
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,120
..while team-mate Paul tackles
the lounge...

227
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,920
Wow. My living room.
The view is incredible.

228
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,720
Yeah, it's better
than I actually thought.

229
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,800
These walls are just
<font color="

230
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,760
I think the scheme that I've put
together is going to be quite warm

231
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,400
and inviting.

232
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,480
I'm papering the whole room,
which is quite daring.

233
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,600
If everything comes together
how I've planned,

234
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,440
<font color="

235
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,200
And then 261 minus 75.

236
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,480
Next door, Micaela is using her
upholstery skills to make an impact

237
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,520
in the living room.

238
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,560
The key feature of this room
is the window,

239
00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:50,520
so I really want my statement piece,
the chaise longue, to bring that

240
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,720
<font color="
the picture of sitting there

241
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,280
and reading and looking out
to the view.

242
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,400
In the bedroom is partner Amy.

243
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,200
It's going to be sophisticated,
it's going to be cool,

244
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,480
it's going to have a bit of soul
to it.

245
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,000
<font color="

246
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,080
I wanted a little bit of me in it,

247
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,400
otherwise, what's the point?

248
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,560
Oh...

249
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:15,680
It's big. Isn't it?

250
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:16,800
At the end house,

251
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,760
architect Lynsey is paired
with retail executive Jon.

252
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,160
The curtains come to here
<font color="

253
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,120
The panelling goes along this wall.

254
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,480
I'm really pleased with the space
and being able to try things in it

255
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:30,800
that I've been thinking about.

256
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,920
I've gone for really big
kind of luxurious curtains.

257
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,480
<font color="

258
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,440
the panelling starts to kind of
create that feeling of luxury

259
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,760
and really large windows.

260
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,440
I hadn't realised
there's panelling there.

261
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,880
Yeah, just to frame the piece
<font color="

262
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,040
Oh, lovely. The piece of art
that could be a disaster,

263
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,160
but we're winging it.
It will not be a disaster!

264
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,800
I love raw natural materials,

265
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,880
bold statement pieces and pulling
<font color="

266
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,160
with loads of different textures
and deep colours.

267
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,760
In the bedroom, Jon's briefing
his decorator on his colour scheme.

268
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,840
This wall here is pink

269
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,920
with a green block
that goes up that wall.

270
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,200
<font color="
carries on around here.

271
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,680
When we were given the brief,
I literally just did a brainstorm

272
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:17,040
of all the things that I would want.

273
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,480
It's a room that I would
quite happily sleep in.

274
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,040
<font color="
as a sound, it would be...

275
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,960


276
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,760
My style, I think, is probably
quite theatrical, dramatic.

277
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,400
It creates an opinion

278
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,880
and I like that about interiors.

279
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,680
The thing that influences me
<font color="

280
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:41,680
I wear my style like people wear
their heart on their sleeve.

281
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:44,720
If somebody wasn't to like it.
I would be hurt by that -

282
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,880
I'm not going to lie.

283
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,040
I've got pink on the wall, pink
on the ceiling, different shade pink

284
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,280
<font color="

285
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,920
I don't think it's too pink.

286
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,200
Yeah, I don't think it's too pink.

287
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,400
I'm owning the pink.

288
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,480
I have got the room divider
coming from this point.

289
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,320
I might need to have a think
about what happens here

290
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,560
<font color="

291
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:13,440
Two doors down, Barbara's planning
a custom-built room divider,

292
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,080
but it's only one part
of her grand scheme.

293
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,120
She's also designed an ambitious
colour-blocking pattern with three

294
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,840
shades of blue reaching up on the
ceiling, a long fitted shelf,

295
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,720
and geometric artworks.

296
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,880
The room divider has these kind
of battens that run across this way,

297
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,000
<font color="
of the window.

298
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,600
If I'm coming in the room,

299
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,040
it blocks off me seeing the room.

300
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,040
It's called a room divider,
but it really doesn't block

301
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,640
any of the view into the room

302
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,000
cos it's literally just the frame.

303
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,320
<font color="

304
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,440
there's too much going on
in the lounge, but...

305
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:53,240
..I've voiced my concern,

306
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,360
so that's all I can do.

307
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,440
Just need to envision it,

308
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,360
just need to mentally take that
off the floor...

309
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,400
<font color="

310
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,960
In Charlotte's bedroom,
her piece de resistance

311
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,040
will be a navy feature wall
with a 3D art display

312
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,920
made from individual tiles.

313
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,480
If they're all skewwhiff...

314
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,880
I did lay these out at home,
as well, I promise,

315
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,000
but now you're here... Pressure!

316
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,120
<font color="
Let's just do that.

317
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,160
One thing the designers
will need to manage

318
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,160
is how to share
their builder's time.

319
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,640
24. And then we've got...

320
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,360
Barbara's definitely got a lot
of stuff to build,

321
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,920
so it's just kind of up to me
<font color="

322
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,120
"It's not for you all the time."

323
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,600
That's the bottom, yeah? Yeah.

324
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,960
Bottom middle. Hoo-hoo!
Exciting. How fun!

325
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,680
Next door...

326
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,440
This is going to be perfect.

327
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,280
..are Mona and Siobhan.

328
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,480
And what I'm thinking with this
<font color="

329
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,760
but just, you know,
in random places,

330
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,240
so maybe like half a run here
with the gold on either side.

331
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,560
OK, cool.

332
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,520
Just to kind of give it that little
extra element of luxury.

333
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,800
Siobhan will be painting two walls
in a light grey

334
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,240
and two in a darker shade,

335
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,000
with strips of marble wallpaper
edged with gold.

336
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,280
Bespoke furniture and gold
accessories will be complemented

337
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,640
with floor-length grey velvet
curtains

338
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,360
topped by a handmade pelmet.

339
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,600
I'm trying to push the boundaries
with more of a luxe vibe,

340
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,000
so, you know, with the golds
and the metallics.

341
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,440
<font color="

342
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,680
Like that!

343
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,680
SHE LAUGHS

344
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,240
Looks like I have ordered
the right size.

345
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,520
In the bedroom, Mona's planning to
panel the whole of the back wall.

346
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:44,320
The wood is cut because I wanted
to make your and my days easier.

347
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,720
<font color="

348
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:47,920
There's quite a lot.

349
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,360
This panelling is a very important
part of the design.

350
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,360
The brief asked for luxury,

351
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,800
and I thought if I'm going to build

352
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,760
luxury individual panelling
and headboard,

353
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,400
<font color="

354
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,640
I'm very confident
that it will work out very well.

355
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,360
Mona works as a set designer
for an Iranian TV company.

356
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,520
My roots are very important to me.

357
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,440
The history and the pattern,

358
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,560
everything is an influence
in my design.

359
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,160
<font color="

360
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,840
You make it beautiful
for the camera.

361
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,240
This is making a space for somebody
who will actually live there.

362
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,080
You cannot just fake it
"for the camera".

363
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,720
It's important...
<font color="

364
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,040
If you put paint on this...

365
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,480
Unfortunately for Mona, the wood
she's bought for her panelling

366
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,840
will need an undercoat of PVA
before painting.

367
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,400
The issue with the wood
is the inners, as you can see.

368
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,040
The paint might not stick to that

369
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,040
and it wouldn't look nice
<font color="

370
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,240
Apparently, it will take longer.

371
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,800
Yeah, let's hope at the end
it's actually what I want.

372
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,920
I really hope
that the outcome is good.

373
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,560
Right, keep your eye open
for this estate.

374
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,080
It doesn't really look like Oxford,
does it?

375
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,320
I mean, I thought Oxford
was like Hogwarts.

376
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,280
Where's the wizards?
Where's the people flying?

377
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,800
Where's the owls?

378
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,840
Oh! I think this will be
the show homes.

379
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,040
Yes, Michelle mentioned a lake.

380
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,840
Time to see how the designers
are getting on.

381
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,880
Oh, hello, Paul, love.

382
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,200
Hello.You decided to do the whole
of the room in the wallpaper.

383
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,840
Why would you do that?

384
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,640
I just think it's time to change
from the feature wall

385
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,120
<font color="
Yeah. We've all done it.

386
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:47,960
Now, this... Yeah.

387
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,600
Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen...

388
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,440
You're not going to put this up
in the room. Why not?

389
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,760
So, he's going to be judging
with Michelle.

390
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,320
I know, what a coincidence.
That's so cunning!

391
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,160
You want to win this competition,
don't you?

392
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,400
<font color="

393
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,480
Well, listen, I'll leave you
to your hanging.

394
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:03,840
I'm glad you like it.Yeah, well,

395
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,280
I don't like the mirrors,
but you can't like everything.

396
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,680
I don't like that shirt, but...

397
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,440
Could maybe make a cushion out of
it.Don't fall off the stepladder!

398
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,840
See you later, Alan!Ugh!

399
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,160
It's the middle of day one...

400
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,160
Oh, gosh, it's getting
some air bubbles in.

401
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,280
Paint and paper
are going up everywhere.

402
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,000
Oh, I REALLY like it.

403
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,120
The way, around the edges, it feels
like it's a framed piece of... Yeah.

404
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:31,640
Oh!

405
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,440
<font color="

406
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,800
I LOVE the layers of three.
It's so nice.

407
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,200
It's just that bit of extra detail,
isn't it? Yeah.

408
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,840
This way.

409
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,240
Michelle's expecting a top-class
finish

410
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,440
in these million-pound show homes...

411
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,320
<font color="
just to get it right,

412
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,080
but I want to make sure that,
you know, this is the show stopper.

413
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:56,960
Next door...

414
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,520
Now, you see, why's that happened?

415
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,360
So, that's a bit pink.

416
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:05,360
..Amy has a problem with her
custom-mixed paint.

417
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:06,920
It's too pink.

418
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,120
<font color="

419
00:19:08,120 --> 00:19:11,080
Can we put some white in or
something and try and have a play?

420
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,440
Yeah, we can kind of match. Yeah.

421
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,400
Please, let's try.

422
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,680
It's not quite as pared back
as I was looking for,

423
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,280
<font color="

424
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,720
The danger is I don't like it,
Michelle won't like it,

425
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,640
and it won't be a winning room -
that's the danger.

426
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,560
I think we need to kill it
by at least half.

427
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,600
<font color="
the more I don't like it.

428
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,240
Just along the street...

429
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,320
There is nothing else at this point

430
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,040
that can be physically done
with the panelling.

431
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,120
We have to just wait for it to dry.

432
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:45,360
..the wood for Mona's
wall panelling has been sealed

433
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:48,080
and painting has started,

434
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,320
but the extra time it's taken
has affected her schedule.

435
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,320
Yeah, I just shifted things around.

436
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,880
I thought actually this artwork part
would happen tomorrow.

437
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,600
If you would ask me if I'm worried -
at this point, I'm not worried.

438
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,880
I'm actually super-confident
<font color="

439
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,720
Mona?

440
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,080
What's this?

441
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,000
I am making some artwork.

442
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,400
Is that Michelle?

443
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,960
Oh, my God,
you're the first to guess it right!

444
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,560
I thought I recognised
that smile, yes!

445
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,280
And you know what,
I'm going to draw you, live, now.

446
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,520
Oh, please! Be my model.

447
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,040
Oh, naked, naked?<font color="

MONA LAUGHS

449
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,680
So, you stay like that.
It might take a few minutes.

450
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,880
OK. OK?

451
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,760
Why aren't you looking at the paper?

452
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,280
This is the technique -
I'm just looking at you.

453
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,520
My glasses are steaming up
with the concentration.

454
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:43,600
MONA LAUGHS

455
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,720
Next door, the builder has spent
the morning with Charlotte,

456
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,920
so now team-mate Barbara's building
schedule is running behind.

457
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,440
Has the partition been done yet?

458
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:57,840
No, not yet.

459
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,680
OK. That's the worry, then.

460
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,040
But the carpenter is going to do it
extremely quickly tomorrow morning

461
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,440
and I'm going to whack paint on it
<font color="

462
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,880
But, I'm going to be right up until
the last minute tomorrow, for sure.

463
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,280
Oh, God.

464
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,120
I'm worried that it won't come
together how Barbara wants,

465
00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:17,560
because not too much
has gone up yet,

466
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,760
<font color="

467
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,240
Charlotte, how's it going?

468
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,240
It's OK. I gave my decorator to
Barbara cos she's got a lot to do,

469
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,600
but I'm on my own now.

470
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,120
Has there been a problem
with sharing the workmen?

471
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:34,360
Have you needed them more
than your partner or...?

472
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:36,720
I think she needs them more than me,

473
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,640
<font color="
a planning flaw.

474
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,320
Yeah. Because we were always
going to be in a team.

475
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,520
Yeah. You shouldn't plan too much
if there's not enough...

476
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,160
Yeah, yeah.

477
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,920
With Charlotte distracted,

478
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,800
Jon's taking the opportunity
for a sneaky peek

479
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,600
at the competition.

480
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,240
<font color="

481
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,080
It's quite nerve-racking
to see what someone else has done

482
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,560
cos instantly I'm comparing.

483
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,320
I'm not normally lost for words...

484
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,200
..and now I am.
What do I think? What do I think?

485
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,400
Yeah, it's very different
<font color="

486
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,040
You walk into my room
and, you know, it's...pink.

487
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,480
I'm being true to myself,
and I'm now just questioning

488
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,280
that I haven't done enough
arty stuff.

489
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,360
If we were all the same,
it wouldn't work, would it?

<font color="
interior design,

491
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,400
they don't want the same thing
from everyone.

492
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,320
Self-doubt for me
is a real challenge.

493
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,040
I doubt myself
about a lot of things.

494
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,760
To some people it's just wallpaper,

495
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,320
<font color="
it's just a cushion.

496
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,600
For me, it isn't.
It's an expression.

497
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,480
It's just that thing in my head
that keeps saying,

498
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,720
"You didn't do enough,"

499
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,280
and, um, I need to get rid of it.

500
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,120
As day one draws to a close,

501
00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:57,680
some teams are feeling happy
with their progress...

502
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,200
The finish is amazing.

503
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,040
You've got to be pleased
with that, right?

504
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,680
Yeah, I really am.
Absolutely beautiful.

505
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,400
Oh... If only I didn't have
so much left to do.

506
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,320
Oh, my goodness!

507
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,320
<font color="
of slightly later-in-the-day light,

508
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,960
it's really settling.

509
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,560
Oh, it looks really lovely.
I'm super-happy with it.

510
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,920
I think going into tomorrow, that
fire in the belly is going to be

511
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,720
even hotter and I'm going

00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,400
with the amount of painting.

514
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,800
..while others are feeling
less confident...

515
00:23:32,360 --> 00:23:34,240
I'm not going to swear,
but a lot to do.

516
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,760
It's the prep work that
<font color="

517
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,760
Hm.

518
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:47,480
DRILLING

519
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,120
Excited to get back in there.

520
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:51,160
Yeah. Here goes.

521
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,760
It's the final day of the challenge.

522
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,640
I did another list this morning.

523
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,800
All right, do you want to...?
<font color="

524
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,440
I've got quite a lot of things,
you know, that kind of need doing.

525
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,360
I'm feeling really confident. As you
can see, a few sheets left to do,

526
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:06,160
and that will be
the whole room complete.

527
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,400
<font color="

528
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,040
In Mona's bedroom, the wall
panelling is finally up and ready

529
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,480
for a headboard.

530
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,360
Staples in.

531
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,520
Oh, my God, I'm super-excited!
It's actually working.

532
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,240
Hi!
Hi!

533
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,200
Oh, my God, it actually looks
like it's part of the wall.

534
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,200
<font color="
a little thicker than the rest.

535
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,520
Is it like a huge sigh of relief?

536
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,480
Yes. Look at it.

537
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,520
I'm happy that it's actually
finally up.

538
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,880
However, we don't have much time
left.

539
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,760
<font color="

540
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,280
While Mona finishes off her
centrepiece, team-mate Siobhan

541
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,600
is working on the window treatments
for her living room.

542
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,840
I always think the pelmets just kind
of finish off the curtains,

543
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,880
and especially because the window
is the real feature,

544
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,280
I think it just looks really
<font color="

545
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,440
Hi Siobhan. Hiya!

546
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,000
It's a bit hot for yellow leggings.

547
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,320
I just wanted to bring
a bit of colour,

548
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,320
and I've made an error, really,
haven't I?

549
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,640
So, what is this?
This is a pelmet.

550
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,240
OK. So, this is going to be going
<font color="

551
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,600
so just to kind of frame
that lovely view of the lake.

552
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,720
Are you on schedule?
Um, not... Hm...

553
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,400
I thought I'd be a little bit
further on with this, but it's taken

554
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,160
a little bit longer than I thought.
<font color="

555
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,120
The last thing you need is me
mincing along, chatting to you.

556
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:31,040
Shall I leave you to it?
Yes, please.

557
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,600
Good luck, Siobhan.
Thanks, Alan.

558
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,840
Next door,
at Barbara and Charlotte's house,

559
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,360
Barbara's still working on
her custom-built wooden frame.

560
00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:44,200
The purpose of the divider
is to define the seating area.

561
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,560
<font color="
more intimacy

562
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,640
and I think it adds a bit of drama.

563
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,840
I'm feeling just nervous,
actually, just anxious,

564
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,960
and I'm aware of time today.

565
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,320
I just want to check about today.
Yes.

566
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:01,960
<font color="

567
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,120
you've got furniture
being made this morning, right?

568
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:07,800
Yep. When you're painting it,

569
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,360
can I take him to finish off
some of the jobs I've got to do?

570
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:12,880
Absolutely.

571
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,800
<font color="
off so they're not done last minute.

572
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,200
Landscape. Landscape? Oh, OK.

573
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,200
Give me a height. Higher or lower?
One...

574
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,160
No, maybe where it was, I think.

575
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,760
Yeah. Perfect.

576
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,200
<font color="
with Barbara? Everything.

577
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,440
Does that mean she's got loads
to do? Still got loads to do,

578
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,440
cos I did all of yours first,
and now I've got to finish on hers.

579
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,840
<font color="
you've done of mine today -

580
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,360
that's cos you were doing her stuff
all morning...

581
00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:43,640
As well.

582
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,240
Cos I need these chopped in half.
OK.

583
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,440
A little bit of tension.

584
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,560
<font color="
room to finish off little things,

585
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,960
when actually I should be doing
the big build next door.

586
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,720
So, I'm using this fabric here,
but I'm also picking it up

587
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,640
in the cushions as well, just
<font color="

588
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,520
At Jon and Lynsey's house,

589
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,080
Lynsey's vertical panels
are now in place,

590
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,560
so she's moved on to her
soft furnishings.

591
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,080
I wanted a piece of furniture
that would tie in with the colours

592
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,360
of the outside and bring it in,
so that there was some piece there,

593
00:27:20,360 --> 00:27:23,560
<font color="
the window, read or something.

594
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:24,640
What I didn't want,

595
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,040
when you came in this door,
for it to block the view.

596
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,600
Ooh!

597
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,960
This is a bit different
to how it was before.

598
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,160
<font color="
up the wall, the green block

599
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,600
comes across the ceiling
just on this side.

600
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,760
Meanwhile, team-mate Jon's
making a last-minute change

601
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,240
to push his design even further.

602
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,360
And it needs to come out
50 centimetres.

603
00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:49,560
<font color="
it gets the pillows in,

604
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,440
the cushions
and the bedside table,

605
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,080
so it feels like it's a canopy
over that - so it kind of frames it.

606
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,720
Cool. When I walked into the room,
<font color="

607
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,480
"I'm going to go with my gut
instinct. The bed needs to be here."

608
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,680
I just want to make sure there's
enough walkway to get through.

609
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,120
What I might do is remove
one of my bedside tables

610
00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:07,040
cos it might be a bit
<font color="

611
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,600
Sorry, if that kind of delayed you,

612
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,680
but it just wasn't looking
big enough.

613
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,800
It takes quite a lot of time cos
you have to kind of get the paint

614
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,640
into the fabric. Yeah, soak it in.

615
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,720
<font color="
which is good.

616
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,480
Now it'll just be about
feathering it off

617
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,480
and making sure
it seems more purposeful.

618
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,400
At the boys' house, Peter's
preparing some hand-painted curtains

619
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:28,760
for his bedroom.

620
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,880
Peter!

621
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,520
Hi.Look at YOU in your dungarees!

622
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,320
What's going on? What is this?

623
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:36,920
These are Peter's curtains,

624
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,480
so basically, I wanted to embellish
them by putting a border on them.

625
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,920
Normally, you would get another
fabric and sew it on,

626
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,680
but because of budget
and time constraints,

627
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,760
<font color="
the border on.

628
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,880
You're painting it? You're painting
your own curtains... Yes.

629
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,320
Have you seen anyone do this before?
Yes, I have.

630
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:53,480
Oh, you have. OK.

631
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,080
I mean, YouTube and the internet
is great, isn't it?

632
00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:00,280
Michelle said
"aspirational and luxurious",

633
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,680
but, actually,
he's started painting curtains.

634
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,360
I've never seen the like.
Why would you paint your curtains?

635
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,680
We'll put this one up first.

636
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,760
Next door, good news for Barbara.

637
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,680
Her room divider
is ready to install.

638
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,360
Nice. Looks good.

639
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:18,960
Then we'll just spike and pin them.

640
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,520
I would hate to have got to this
point and be finished,

641
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,680
<font color="

642
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,400
so I'm proud that I am actually
working until the very last minute.

643
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,080


644
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,360
Yeah, it looks good.

645
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,480
I've just got to tidy up.

646
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,600
And I am going to... I've started
bringing my soft furnishings in

647
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,520
<font color="
so I don't rush around

648
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,440
bringing them up the stairs.

649
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:50,920
Then I think we're good.

650
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,200
A bed is very, very important.
It's the heart of the bedroom.

651
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,600
The heart of the bedroom.

652
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,680
With Mona's bed finally complete,

653
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,920
she can now focus
on the finishing touches.

654
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,200
Mona, what are you doing?

655
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,880
It's embarrassing!

656
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,360
I'm sweating here.

657
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,360
Your earring's stuck to your face.

658
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,760
You have not seen another woman
sweating like me?

659
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,880
I've never seen a woman sweat,
you're right.

660
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,720
So, listen, have you had time
to do my caricature?

661
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:22,960
Let's see.

662
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,560
Oh, look! I mean,
it so looks like me,

663
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,280
I might just use it
as my passport photo.

664
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,960
Probably you should.
Put me next to Michelle's.

665
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,640
That's lovely, that is.

666
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,040
You don't like it?
No, I do love it.

667
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,360
It was just a shock.

668
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,880
I mean, I know my teeth are bad,
but they ain't that bad!

669
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,320
THEY LAUGH

670
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,080
It's coming to crunch time,

671
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,320
so I'm just like, I'm all of a bit
of a tither, really.

672
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,280
One hour to go...

673
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,360
I'm getting there.

674
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,920
..and it's a sprint
to the finish line.

675
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,880
Is that bob-on? That's bob-on,
that's where I want it.

676
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,760
Yeah, busy busy.

677
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,280
I'm definitely feeling excited,

678
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,160
because all the things I've been
<font color="

679
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,880
are now coming to fruition.

680
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,800
I might need to put it landscape.

681
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,960
It's good. I'm just like, "Oh, God!"

682
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,320
CLATTER!

683
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,320
Oh, my God!

684
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,200
SHE WHISPERS: Oh! I just burnt
a bit of plastic on it.

685
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,760
What do I do?

686
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,320
<font color="
Yep.

687
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,720
I love this.
I think it's worked really well.

688
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,880
Really nice. Cool. Thank you.

689
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,400
I'm now getting petrified
about being judged.

690
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,280
Do not want to be on that sofa.

691
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,480
Ready to cast their professional eye
over the completed houses -

692
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:39,720
the judges.

693
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,920
I think you are just evil that these
poor people start with a show home.

694
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,880
It's the most difficult thing
in the world to do,

695
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,800
and yet there you go, you just throw
them off the diving board,

696
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,480
<font color="

697
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,040
Helping Michelle this week is
guest judge and interiors legend

698
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,760
Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.

699
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,120
People might think that a show home,

700
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,200
because it's all kind of
a blank canvas,

701
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,120
is maybe an easier challenge,
but it's absolutely not, is it?

702
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,840
<font color="
to balance.

703
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,480
You've got the personality,

704
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,320
the identity of a proposed client
that's moving in.

705
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,880
It's not as if you're even
meeting someone for real.

706
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,600
But the good thing is that they can
<font color="

707
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:16,880
in comparable spaces.

708
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,200
Each of the spaces
is the same size and shape,

709
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,200
so I'm hoping that we're going
to get a real feeling of surprise

710
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,680
and transition and difference
between each one.

711
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,280
First house to be judged,
Peter and Paul's.

712
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,320
Do you think you'll be finished
in time? Of course.

713
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,040
I'm just fluffing cushions.
We're going to be done. Woo!

714
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,160
Yeah, I think overall
that looks really, really nice.

715
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,120
I'm going to concentrate now
<font color="

716
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:42,840
into place
and getting the room dressed.

717
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:43,960
There.

718
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,000
It's worth the stress, the strain,
the sweat, the tears, the drama.

719
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,920
I love the finished result.

720
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,720
And I think I've only got that
<font color="

721
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,520
in papering all the four walls.

722
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:09,000
Well, this is a transformation
from a white box, isn't it?

723
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,080
I'm quite excited
by this colour palette.

724
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,760
It's warming.
It's quite masculine, isn't it?

725
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,520
<font color="

726
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,800
that is not the same language
as that. Yes.

727
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,240
It's definitely different
to what's going on with the mirrors.

728
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,400
We've got a lot of things here.

729
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,120
All very sophisticated.

730
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,320
<font color="
of aspirational,

731
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:30,320
but he's kind of mixed
his metaphors a little.

732
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,840
I don't like the wallpaper choice
at all.

733
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,000
I think that it is quite
overpowering for the space.

734
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,360
<font color="
on all four walls.

735
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,880
I mean, I actually rather love it
because it's so textural.

736
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,880
If he'd kind of kept the wallpaper
maybe to sort of two walls,

737
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,160
so you get the kind of hug
of wallpaper behind you,

738
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,160
<font color="
of breathe out towards that view,

739
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,160
I think that would have just
lightened it a bit.

740
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,040
The winner, winner, chicken dinner

741
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,760
in here has to be the photograph.

742
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,240
Would you not do that?

743
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,480
I mean, actually,
<font color="

744
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,240
with the incandescent loveliness
that is Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen,

745
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,160
I think you'd put it at the heart
of your scheme.

746
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,440
I find that unbelievably bizarre

747
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,520
that you put a picture of yourself
in a show home.

748
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,360
<font color="
than I imagined it would be.

749
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,600
I'm very confident, therefore,
if I did end up in the bottom two,

750
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,120
I would have more questions for them
than they would have for me,

751
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:29,560
I think.

752
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,040
One of my favourite things is
<font color="

753
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,320
of the room from what I call
"the envelope".

754
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,440
You start with the wall finishes,
the texture, the layering.

755
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:41,680
And I love that.

756
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,480
I think there's too much design
in here.

757
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,360
<font color="
it would be quite off-putting.

758
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,440
There's a harmony I feel
to the room. There is,

759
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,600
I still would like to point out
that you've got your back

760
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:52,720
to that picture,

761
00:34:52,720 --> 00:34:54,760
you probably can't see
<font color="

762
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,280
cos I'm standing in front of it.

763
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,880
We've got a whole corridor of smears
going down there!

764
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,680
The window treatment
lets the room down.

765
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,680
Nice idea with the curtains.

766
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,120
There's no authority
<font color="

767
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:08,560
if you know what I mean.

768
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,200
There's something curious
cos I really rather love this room.

769
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,880
It looks like a room you'd see in
a magazine, which I think people

770
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,080
coming into these show homes,

771
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,320
they kind of want to move
<font color="

772
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:24,000
So annoying. Need to find a way
of getting rid of these wires.

773
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,720
Next to face the judges,
Micaela and Amy.

774
00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:30,000
I'm unbelievably nervous.

775
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,800
It's tough to know
whether you've done enough.

776
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,160
<font color="
than I have.

777
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:41,720
I'm guessing being a mum, handling
three kids, is good preparation.

778
00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:43,720
That's not quite straight, babe.

779
00:35:43,720 --> 00:35:45,440
I think it's beautiful in here.

780
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:46,880
I'm super-excited.

781
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,800
This is the first room I've pulled
<font color="

782
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,480
so I'm really proud
of what I've done,

783
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,240
but it's difficult with a show home,
you've pared back your design a bit.

784
00:36:01,240 --> 00:36:02,960
I don't think I've played it safe.

785
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,360
I love the way
that it's been decorated.

786
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:10,600
<font color="
patterns and textures look easy...

787
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,680
Yes. ..when we know
that that is not easy. Yes.

788
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,320
I can actually see someone
coming in here

789
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,320
and just so falling in love
<font color="

790
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:20,800
What's let it down

791
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,120
is her understanding
of how you design a room.

792
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,000
Not enough analysis

793
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,320
of how an ordinary family
would use this room.

794
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,520
Fine, if actually all your family
<font color="

795
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:33,760
and listen to cello music.

796
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,800
I'm confused by why we've got
two different lamps, and the mirror

797
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,320
is absolutely in the wrong place.

798
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:42,080
She's just got to start
understanding about rooms,

799
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:46,560
rather than just hoping
<font color="

800
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,160
the soft-scaping,
can pull her through.

801
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,160
So much of my heart and soul
has gone into that room,

802
00:36:56,160 --> 00:37:00,840
and I totally understand that some
people will just not like my scheme.

803
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,680
I'm just hoping Michelle and
<font color="

804
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,920
Ooh, this is so interesting,
isn't it?

805
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,040
I LOVE the panelling.

806
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,680
Using the three levels of trim,
brilliant,

807
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,200
and then I turn here and go,

808
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,720
"But how could that person
<font color="

809
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:21,120
It's all about how you dress
the WHOLE wall behind the bedhead.

810
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,800
One of these panels horizontally
above the headboard,

811
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,360
you've created balance.

812
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,240
But I think she does understand
this business of sort of, you know,

813
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:31,240
<font color="

814
00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:34,520
so, black light fitting,
black table.

815
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,000
This is good.

816
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,840
Barbara!

817
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,200
You're taking some pretty
intense angles right now.

818
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,960
For Charlotte and Barbara,
it's a race against time.

819
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,240
Barbara! Where's Wayne?
<font color="

820
00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:52,800
Would you please ask if he lifts
the plastic off from my bed? OK.

821
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,120
There's some things I'm not happy
with, but I'm living with them.

822
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:57,320
But as a whole...

823
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,280
..yeah, it's come together nicely.

824
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:02,640
<font color="

825
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,680
Absolutely exhausted.

826
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,400
I mean, I cannot believe
how much I managed to get done,

827
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,200
but it makes me think if I do get
through to the next stage,

828
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,800
I'm going to have to rethink.

829
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,880
I'm going to have to really learn
<font color="

830
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,000
Oh, my word, Laurence.

831
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,680
I REALLY didn't see this one coming.

832
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,120
Wow!

833
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,800
How completely different.

834
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,480
Let's get this out of the way.
This is the elephant in the room.

835
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,200
It's not nice. It shouldn't be here.
<font color="

836
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,400
And it distracts away
from the cleverness

837
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,280
of the colour blocking.

838
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:41,280
I mean, that is such an ingenious
thing to do in the corner of a room

839
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,720
because it feels as if your eye
is going up into a stairwell.

840
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:47,960
<font color="
so much taller and bigger.

841
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,920
Before we get too carried away...

842
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,520
I mean, there is the whole thing,
is this appropriate for a show home?

843
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,360
Absolutely not!

844
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,680
But we must absolutely applaud
her ambition,

845
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,960
<font color="

846
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,680
Mine's different to everyone else's

847
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,360
because I deliberately wanted it

848
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,920
to be a really calm and serene place
that felt luxurious.

849
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,360
I went for that more simplistic
look.

850
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,320
Oh... I've found one of the things
<font color="

851
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,520
Immediately, I'm struck by the kind
of visual virtuosity of this room,

852
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,920
and yet the same person
didn't notice

853
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,560
that the first thing I see
when I come in

854
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,280
is the side of a rather humdrum
cabinet.

855
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,680
<font color="

856
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,680
we have come from this explosion
of design next door,

857
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,800
and now we're in a space where
it just feels very, very redacted,

858
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,280
it feels very pulled back.

859
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:50,000
And there is a tailored restraint
and serenity to what she's done

860
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:54,080
<font color="
just carries symphonically,

861
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,920
very gently, into the patterns,
into the curtains.

862
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,920
Completely disagree with you.
Well...

863
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,200
I don't see how you can use words
like "considered",

864
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,520
<font color="
and look at that mirror.

865
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:10,000
That mirror, to me,
the frame of it has nothing to do

866
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,880
with what else is going on
in this room. Oh, yes.

867
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:17,000
I'm talking, literally,
about what's happening over here.

868
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,840
<font color="
of these fabrics

869
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,360
and the bed in front of it,
brilliant.

870
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:23,720
Love it. Absolutely genius.

871
00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:27,200
And the casting of the shadows...
Unbelievable. Very Instagram.

872
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,520
But she has just then forgotten,
<font color="

873
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,760
The point is,
I don't think she's done enough.

874
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,760
Oh, Mona, this looks so beautiful!

875
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,360
At Siobhan and Mona's...

876
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,120
I don't have your view yet.

877
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,040
Oh, I love what you've done
with the paper bags,

878
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,240
<font color="
the outside in.

879
00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:46,760
Mona's made a last-minute decision -

880
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,800
she's binning the curtains.

881
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,160
It IS a risk because
everybody is expecting curtains

882
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,080
and it's not a risk
because I am true to myself.

883
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,640
I stay to my style,
<font color="

884
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,040
When I was designing it, I didn't
feel good, putting a curtain in.

885
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,680
When I was ordering it,
I didn't feel good.

886
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,160
Yeah, bit closer to each other.
There? Yes, please.

887
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,960
<font color="

888
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,080
This is how a creative brain works.

889
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,160
OK, yeah, I make it work.

890
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,640
I've never really been judged
before because I've always just

891
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,800
kind of done my own house,
so I'm the judge of that.

892
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,640
Yeah, I think I've nailed it,
<font color="

893
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,640
I think it looks aspirational.

894
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,600
I feel super-proud of myself,
actually.

895
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,000
So, Siobhan likes the 1920s.

896
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,440
Really hooked on glam, isn't she?

897
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:41,640
I like
these sort of frames happening,

898
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,480
and, actually, I'm finding
<font color="

899
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,120
really rather
pleasant.

900
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,800
I like that I've got this lovely
grey mushroomy colour behind me.

901
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,520
There's lots of elements
of extra style,

902
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,240
but it's when I actually
then dive into that style,

903
00:41:56,240 --> 00:41:59,040
<font color="

904
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,000
I think this is the absolutely
fundamental flaw because the most

905
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,280
dominant influence on this room
isn't in this room at all -

906
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,920
it's out there. We're looking
out into countryside.

907
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,880
<font color="

908
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,760
with what is an incredibly urban,

909
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,600
very, very metropolitan
way of decorating?

910
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,960
Does it work as a room
in a show home?

911
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,480
Interesting point.

912
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,280
I'm happy it's done - "good" done,

913
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,120
<font color="

914
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,200
I have delivered
exactly what I wanted.

915
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,200
That's my style,
it's elegance, it's clean.

916
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,600
Yeah, I'm proud of it, yeah.

917
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,200
There's a wonderful freshness.
Springtime. It is.

918
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,280
<font color="
We've got kind of spring fever here.

919
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:51,280
Mona is the first person we've seen
so far to completely change the bed,

920
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,040
but I can't help wondering why?

921
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,840
Like, if you're going to do
this big chunky panelled wall,

922
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,840
<font color="
That chunk.

923
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,480
There's a very glaring omission
in that you're lying in bed,

924
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,280
there's no curtain,
there's no blind.

925
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,680
I don't feel, in this space
that Mona, who designed it,

926
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,800
<font color="
that are going to go to bed in it.

927
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,000
So I've just moved the bed
a millimetre.

928
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,600
HE CHUCKLES

929
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,320
Last pair to be judged,

930
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:18,600
Jon and Lynsey.

931
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,320
I've just made that worse,
haven't I?

932
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:22,600
No.

933
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,640
I think the past two days have felt
<font color="

934
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,360
There's been a whole
host of emotions,

935
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,240
and I'm at the end of it,
and it feels good.

936
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:33,880
Ooh!

937
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,800
I think it's aspirational.

938
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,480
I don't think it's something
everyone would think to do

939
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:49,200
<font color="
that's what aspirational is to me,

940
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,160
something that you can't do
yourself.

941
00:43:53,720 --> 00:43:56,440
Gosh. Oh, my.
There's an enormous amount

942
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,600
of design bang for the buck in here,
isn't there?

943
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,640
<font color="
of wood on the wall that suddenly

944
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,560
become this curtain. Yes. You know,
that's very, very playful.

945
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,000
It's quite surreal,
but also very, very sophisticated.

946
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,880
<font color="
is actually really quite

947
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,400
successful, because
it's focusing your attention,

948
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,120
compelling you
to look out at the view.

949
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,080
A tight palette,
a touch dark for me.

950
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:24,000
<font color="
what many wouldn't have,

951
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,040
is that within this terribly sedate,
quite restrained scheme,

952
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,720
she's just thrown this kind of
fabulously bonkers leafy fabric in,

953
00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:32,760
which is that connection
with outside.

954
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,920
<font color="
that's gone in here,

955
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,080
and she's pulled it off well.

956
00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:43,360
JON: I'm really pleased
with my room and what I've done.

957
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,560
I've learned a lot about myself,
I've learned a lot

958
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,960
about what I'm capable of.
<font color="

959
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,720
I like the feel of it
when I walk in.

960
00:44:49,720 --> 00:44:51,240
Yeah, it feels great.

961
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,920
Ooh, moody, Laurence, moody.

962
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,920
LAURENCE CHUCKLES

963
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,160
Hello, '80s!

964
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,240
I've missed you!

965
00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:03,400
I'm feeling that this is
<font color="

966
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,720
I think he's shown you
what you can do

967
00:45:05,720 --> 00:45:08,040
with some very, very simple moves,

968
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,640
because we've seen kind
of really full-on treatments

969
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,800
behind the bed and panelling
and lighting,

970
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:18,960
<font color="
effect using paint, but been clever

971
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,400
enough to also take it up
over the ceiling.

972
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,480
He's kind of given us
a post-modernist four-poster bed.

973
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,920
Listen, the entire nation is
going to be doing this soon.

974
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,080
<font color="
to do.

975
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,720
You know, you look at Jon,
you would never know that

976
00:45:31,720 --> 00:45:35,080
underneath Jon beats this heart
of Joan Collins.

977
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,360
He's restrained himself with this
albeit quite bonkers wallpaper,

978
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,000
<font color="
sort of on this area

979
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,720
over here. Yeah. He's allowed this
to be really quite cool.

980
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:47,480
And he's not even overplayed
the wall opposite the bed.

981
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,520
I mean, I think it's very well
<font color="

982
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,520
Before the teams return
to the design studio,

983
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:57,360
there's time for a snoop around
each other's show homes.

984
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,000
Oh, my God!

985
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,800
I can see Siobhan in here.

986
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,640
SHE GASPS

987
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,480
Oh, wow.

988
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,560
This is next level.

989
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,160
Oh... Oh!

990
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:10,800
This feels quite Moroccan to me.

991
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,000
<font color="
it's show home-y. Unfortunately.

992
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,440
Wow!

993
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,640
My turn to get nervous now.

994
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,560
Oh, my God!

995
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,000
SHE GASPS

996
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,880
Wow! Oh, my...

997
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,120
Wow, wow, wow.

998
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,240
Everything is beautiful.

999
00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:29,360
<font color="

1000
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,840
It has made me more nervous.

1001
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:33,560
Oh, my God.

1002
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,480
Oh, my goodness.
This is absolutely...

1003
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,760
Oh, my...

1004
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,760
SHE GASPS

1005
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,200
Wow! I think looking at this,

1006
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,680
mine just seems quite plain.

1007
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,040
<font color="
about being on the sofa this week,

1008
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,720
because my style is just
a little bit too different.

1009
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:52,000
Oh, my God.

1010
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,520
These two guys, if one of them will
win, they deserve it. They're...

1011
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,280
Oh, my God, this is impossible
<font color="

1012
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:00,880
It's like a show home.

1013
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:02,200
It's... It's perfect.

1014
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:10,000
With a life-changing contract
at stake, the designers meet back

1015
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,840
at Michelle's studio.

1016
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,040
Time for Michelle to make her final
decision

1017
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:19,480
on which designer will stay,
and who will be going home.

1018
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,320
I'm feeling pretty nervous
today, actually.

1019
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,080
<font color="

1020
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,480
If I go home today, I'll be gutted.

1021
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,040
No-one wants to go out first.

1022
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,040
Going out first is, like, brutal.

1023
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:36,200
I've worked extremely hard to get
to this point, and the last couple

1024
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,080
of days have been a mammoth effort.

1025
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,840
<font color="
this week, but I definitely

1026
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,240
didn't want to push too far.

1027
00:47:44,240 --> 00:47:47,480
And that might be a little bit
of a regret for me.

1028
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,360
Hello, everyone!

1029
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,560
Why are you looking so nervous?

1030
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,000
DESIGNERS LAUGH

1031
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,920
Just cut the atmosphere -
duh-duh-duh-duh-duh!

1032
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,840
Michelle and
Laurence were really impressed

1033
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,000
with some of the designs they saw.

1034
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,800
They felt some rooms in particular
really met the brief.

1035
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,320
These rooms were sophisticated
and they were really on point

1036
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,600
with what the client wanted.

1037
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,480
Now, Jon, Michelle loved your
simple but super-effective

1038
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,720
use of colour and pattern.
So, well done, Jon. Thank you.

1039
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:24,800
And Micaela, Michelle loved your mix
of materials, but she felt sometimes

1040
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,760
you've got to just stand back and
look at the bigger picture.<font color="

1041
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:32,760
The judges felt a couple
of the houses sadly missed the mark.

1042
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:39,000
So, going through to next week is...

1043
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,240
..Jon and Lynsey...

1044
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:53,160
..and...

1045
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:57,480
..Amy and Micaela...

1046
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:03,240
..and...

1047
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:07,600
..Peter and Paul.

1048
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,400
THEY EXHALE AND CHUCKLE

1049
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,400
Oh, Paul!

1050
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,240
TEARFULLY: Don't, you'll start us
all off.

1051
00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:18,200
Well done, everyone.
I'll see you next time.

1052
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,480
Good luck, guys.<font color="

1053
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,160
I'm so sorry for you. This must be
soul-destroying for you,

1054
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,640
because I know how much effort
you put into it.

1055
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,400
Michelle's going to have a chat
with you and talk about

1056
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,240
why it went wrong.

1057
00:49:35,240 --> 00:49:38,600
And then, sadly,
one of you will be going home.

1058
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,480
Good luck. Thank you.

1059
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,160
QUIETLY: Oh, God.
<font color="

1060
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,120
Now, why did you pick those two
teams,

1061
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,280
because there was a lot of talent?
There was.

1062
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,200
I mean, what we had, really, is the
incredible

1063
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,480
variety of what could be achieved.
Yeah.

1064
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,760
And then we went from one
<font color="

1065
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,880
So all the people that sort of
fitted in the middle,

1066
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,680
they're through. The people on
either end, it's like,

1067
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,000
"You went too far.
You didn't give me enough."

1068
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,840
I'm very surprised that you two...

1069
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,320
<font color="

1070
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,920
Talking about Barbara,
I loved the room.

1071
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,800
But you're just saying
it didn't fit the brief? Yes.

1072
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,680
She threw everything at it. I mean,
here was someone that, suddenly,

1073
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,000
I thought I was in a completely
different building.

1074
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:25,560
It was all terribly clever.Yeah.

1075
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,360
<font color="
about that.

1076
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,000
And did you like the partition?
The partition was unnecessary.

1077
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,760
I liked the partition! Cos then
she created that little space.

1078
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:34,400
She'd done that anyway with colour.

1079
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,520
It was much, much cleverer
than that kind of rather flimsy

1080
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,480
<font color="
spaces with.So you're saying

1081
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,160
she's in the bottom four because
she's got a flimsy gibbet?

1082
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,800
She really liked Jon's room, and
I thought that was too much.

1083
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,960
So now I'm just like, "Oh."

1084
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,040
Now, Charlotte's room, I'm not going
to lie,

1085
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,520
every time I walked along
those row of houses,

1086
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,600
she was sitting on the drive.

1087
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,480
Well, I think
that's really interesting

1088
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,920
because we loved her artwork.
Oh, yeah.

1089
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:02,440
But I'd like to know
what Charlotte was doing.

1090
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:03,920
You all right? I'm OK.

1091
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,480
The competition was just so tough,
<font color="

1092
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,280
Literally, like we went
to every single room

1093
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,840
and we were like,
"Wow, wow, wow, wow."

1094
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,920
And then you kind of question
yourself

1095
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:16,640
a little bit, don't you? So...

1096
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,120
What about Siobhan?

1097
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,600
<font color="
going on there,

1098
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,360
but was there enough substance?

1099
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:26,880
We felt very strongly that
it had just too much flavour.

1100
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,280
Does it fit in a family house
in Oxford?

1101
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:31,480
What about Mona's room?

1102
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,400
She didn't even really have curtains
on that lovely view, did she?

1103
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:36,400
<font color="
we need to ask her.

1104
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:37,920
Was it deliberate or did she forget,

1105
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,280
or did she just not think
it was important?

1106
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,640
Now, I know this is probably not
where you want to be, challenge one,

1107
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,840
you're in here in my office,
<font color="

1108
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:58,040
what a spectacular start to this
competition.

1109
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,320
But this is just so that I can
really understand why

1110
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:02,880
you did what you did.

1111
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,840
So I'd really encourage you
to just be honest, be open,

1112
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:09,840
<font color="

1113
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,000
Siobhan, I'd like to start with you.

1114
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,960
You love Art Deco and the '20s.

1115
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:20,000
How was that appropriate
for a very contemporary show home?

1116
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,440
I kind of went down the route of
a bit, like, glamorous,

1117
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:24,800
like, luxurious.

1118
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,800
<font color="
it down a little bit, go away

1119
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,000
from my natural flamboyance,
I guess.

1120
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,720
So you're saying it could have been
a lot worse?

1121
00:52:33,720 --> 00:52:35,880
Yeah. It could have been
a lot, lot bigger?

1122
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:37,280
<font color="

1123
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:41,920
A room in a show home
has to be a commercial experience.

1124
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,920
You have to know when to stop.

1125
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:48,480
It's about you having the confidence
to step back sometimes

1126
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:53,680
from your style, but just sneak
it in in a much more stealthy way.

1127
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:59,160
<font color="
to Siobhan for you.

1128
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,200
You went for it in that room.
How appropriate was it?

1129
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,760
I obviously love geometrics,
layering of shapes, and I think

1130
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,200
that is something
that's happening now.

1131
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:12,000
<font color="
and something that was not that...

1132
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,120
Not just anyone could do. Mm.
But it's drama -

1133
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,840
the right word.
Was drama in the brief?

1134
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,320
Drama wasn't.
But, yeah, you're right.

1135
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:26,200
<font color="
you'd done 30% of what you'd done,

1136
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:30,120
you could have got us to sit up
and pay attention. Yeah.

1137
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,480
You could have got us to understand
what you can do

1138
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,640
and who you are and where
your talent lies.

1139
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,320
<font color="
safe.

1140
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,360
I think, really, ultimately,
I should have pulled back on some

1141
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,040
elements,
specifically for show homes.

1142
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:47,720
Mona, you were the only person
that was brave enough

1143
00:53:47,720 --> 00:53:50,040
<font color="
Talk me through that.

1144
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:55,320
I wanted to bring something personal
and self-made in there.

1145
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,440
But was it deliberate to have
no window dressing?

1146
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:02,080
When I was making the design,
I did put a curtain in.

1147
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:03,760
<font color="

1148
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:07,520
My gut was like, "I just make it
because it's expected."

1149
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,720
You could have left
the curtains open.

1150
00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:13,080
I mean, the key word to me there
is the expectation for a show

1151
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:14,480
home is that it has curtains.

1152
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,560
<font color="
what was that about?

1153
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:21,080
I wanted to start this competition
with listening to my gut.

1154
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,480
But it's not that I'm going
to avoid curtains forever.

1155
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:28,160
In fact, I actually want to get
my head around curtains,

1156
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:29,640
<font color="

1157
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,120
Start on the patches,
start on the patches.

1158
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,440
One of the things
that interior design has to prove

1159
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:39,560
to itself is its practicality.
Do you think you delivered that?

1160
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,920
Normally when I do a design,
which would be normally for

1161
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:47,600
<font color="
it is always for the production. Mm.

1162
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:51,400
And I realised, like, I actually
didn't make a home.

1163
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:52,560
I created a set.

1164
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:59,440
Charlotte, in the time it took
Barbara to completely

1165
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:05,000
<font color="
the feeling that you dressed a bed,

1166
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,480
painted a wall, and then
just stopped.

1167
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,280
My room being a more simple, calm
space

1168
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:14,040
was a conscious, deliberate
choice.

1169
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:17,320
<font color="
to these guys in the sense

1170
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:21,120
that I never took the approach
that it was about me.

1171
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,200
I'm obviously, kind of, a textile
designer.

1172
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,720
I'm known for colour, bold,
painterly patterns.

1173
00:55:25,720 --> 00:55:27,760
<font color="
that."

1174
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,240
So when I walked straight
into your room, I did not

1175
00:55:30,240 --> 00:55:32,840
see your spectacular feature wall.

1176
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:37,040
I saw the side of a really boring
chest of drawers.

1177
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:38,800
Mm-hm. Was that deliberate?

1178
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:40,960
<font color="
Did you run out of time?

1179
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,800
It did bother me that I couldn't
create a kind of pop at the end

1180
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:46,240
of that corridor, but...

1181
00:55:46,240 --> 00:55:49,240
You could have just turned it round.
I know, I did put it on an angle

1182
00:55:49,240 --> 00:55:51,920
so it was the front facing,
<font color="

1183
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,760
But I think I was just hot
and I just... That's not a reason.

1184
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:56,200
Have you done show homes before?

1185
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,360
No, I've never done a full room.

1186
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,640
What? Well, I think that that is
quite telling.

1187
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:05,720
<font color="
were bad designers, OK?

1188
00:56:05,720 --> 00:56:10,280
This was a tough challenge.
You're here because two of you kind

1189
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:13,320
of went overboard and gave me
personal styles.

1190
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:17,200
The other two just didn't quite
give me enough to get my teeth into.

1191
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:23,080
<font color="
to champion the intention

1192
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,120
to do something magnificent.

1193
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,320
So, Siobhan and Barbara,
you can breathe easy.

1194
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:31,480
You get to stay.

1195
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:35,560
Charlotte and Mona...

1196
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,120
Charlotte, you've given me a very
<font color="

1197
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,880
explanation for why you did
what you did,

1198
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:45,680
but I think you were a bit lazy, OK,
and I find that quite inexcusable.

1199
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:54,480
Mona, you were ambitious,
you tried to do something different,

1200
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,920
but your detailing and your
<font color="

1201
00:57:00,240 --> 00:57:04,600
However, Charlotte, what you did do
showed me great quality.

1202
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:09,760
So you get to stay and, sadly, Mona,
you're going to go home this week.

1203
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:10,800
OK.

1204
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:14,440
Mona, it's just the beginning.

1205
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:17,560
You're brilliant, you've got
so much energy. Bye, guys.

1206
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,080
<font color="

1207
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,840
It's all a bit real now, isn't it?
Yeah.

1208
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:29,200
You've had the benefit of a bit
of a masterclass here.

1209
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:32,120
Take all that learning and push
on forwards,

1210
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:33,880
OK, but really hear it.

1211
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,760
<font color="
beginning. Mm.

1212
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:40,960
Losing against all these other nine
designers is just an honour.

1213
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:46,000
Like, at least I have lost against
them because they're all so amazing.

1214
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:49,600
I knew that I made a bold decision
to not go with a curtain.

1215
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:51,200
<font color="

1216
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:55,960
but I definitely had so much more
to give.

1217
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,160
Sadly, Mona is the first to go
because she just didn't show me

1218
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,720
the level of sophistication
and quality of finish

1219
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,360
that I'd be expecting
<font color="

1220
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:08,880
Oh, it looks amazing.
It looks so nice!

1221
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,160
..it's back to work... Ooh!

1222
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,200
..to transform office space...

1223
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:16,440
..in the capital.

1224
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,800
We're building Wembley Stadium
about here.

1225
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:20,120
No!

1226
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,840
I'm ready to see you now!
<font color="

1227
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:26,520
I'm feeling this is almost veering
us into cliche territory, isn't it?

1228
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:28,640
Be no standing about today, right?

1229
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:29,680
Crack that whip!
