00:00It's great to be back for more interior design masters, isn't it Michelle?
00:10Bring on head-turning transformations, cut-throat competition and a little touch of showbiz glamour.
00:18What colour eye shadow are you going for?
00:20Thinking pony breath pink?
00:22Nice. And for your lips, go for devils in the details.
00:26Yes!
00:28What have you used on my skin? It's so smooth.
00:34Woofilla, how rude!
00:37Let's find Britain's next interior design master.
00:44Ten aspiring interior designers who won a GoPro.
00:49I had some lovely words of encouragement from my daughter. They were along the lines of don't mess it up.
00:54Ahead into Brighton.
00:55I'm hanging up my modelling shoes and putting my designs in the spotlight now.
00:59I've worked in fashion for 13 years and something clicked in my head that this is what I want to do to turn places into magical spaces.
01:07Over the next eight weeks, drum roll please.
01:13They'll be tasked with transforming real commercial spaces.
01:16Wow!
01:17MZF play was, I don't want to do it.
01:20Shake it, shake it, shake it.
01:22Before Michelle Agunderhin.
01:24I'm just going to come straight out and say it.
01:26I'd love this.
01:27And a top guest judge.
01:29My dog loves a picture wall to go into a shop.
01:31Decide who deserves standout space.
01:33That is a class act.
01:36Et voila.
01:37That's the best thing I've ever designed.
01:39And those who don't deliver will be sent home.
01:42Done.
01:43The winner will be awarded a collaboration contract to design and curate a product collection for John Lewis.
01:53You're very ambitious.
01:55I was born to do this.
01:56That's cheesy, isn't it?
01:58I'm looking forward to, I would like to say, winning.
02:02No, I'm worried.
02:04Everyone who knows me says, yeah, you can do this.
02:06And be crowned this year's.
02:08You've got to learn when to edit.
02:11Interior design master.
02:13Ooh la la.
02:14I look sick, don't I?
02:16Ta-da!
02:18I'm free!
02:28You ready?
02:29Ready as I'll ever be.
02:30Can't breathe, let it go.
02:31This year's aspiring designers have arrived at the Brighton Design Studio.
02:35Oh, my gosh.
02:37And they're getting to know each other.
02:39Bryony.
02:40Hi Bryony.
02:41Where do you live, Bryony?
02:42Where do you live, Bryony?
02:43I live in Hastings, Glasgow.
02:44Yes.
02:45So good to tell.
02:46And who they'll be up against on this incredible adventure.
02:49Teacher.
02:50Ooh snap, me too.
02:51What do you teach?
02:52Art and textiles.
02:53I teach design technology.
02:54Flaming of two small humans.
02:56Before getting the low down on their first challenge.
02:59Oh, hello.
03:00Hello.
03:01Hello, everyone.
03:02Hello.
03:03What a gorgeous lot.
03:05How are you all feeling?
03:07All good.
03:08Nervous.
03:09I've heard of deer in the headlights, but you lot are giving me a room full of bambis
03:13on full beam.
03:15Well, listen, it's time now to make way for an interior designs icon.
03:20She puts the M into magnificent and she puts the O into, oh, she's coming.
03:25Quick, paint that wall.
03:27It's Michelle Agunder here.
03:29Woo hoo.
03:30Woo hoo.
03:31Wow.
03:33So this is it.
03:34The beginning of your journey to become potentially an interior design master.
03:38Oh my God.
03:39Yeah.
03:40It's an extraordinary opportunity to get real hands on experience with real clients.
03:45So I encourage you to fully embrace it all.
03:50To kick things off, you're heading to a youth hostel near Lake Windermere where you would
03:54be transforming a bedroom with your signature style.
03:57This 16 room youth hostel overlooks one of Britain's most breathtaking lakes.
04:06Since opening its doors back in 1935, it's welcomed visitors of all ages, itching to explore
04:12the Lake District.
04:14Now the simple bunk rooms, which were last updated a decade ago, are due a makeover.
04:20So the Youth Hostel Association has invited our designers to transform 10 of these rooms
04:26into unique overnight stays.
04:29Now you might assume I'm into camping.
04:32There's a vicious rumour going round that I...
04:34Me camp?
04:36Michelle, what are you looking for?
04:38I would like you to introduce yourself to me.
04:41That's why we've asked for your signature style.
04:44But, remember, your primary client is the Youth Hostel Association.
04:49And they're looking for rooms which are welcoming to guests that are hiking, exploring, adventuring
04:54and really absorbing the local environment.
04:57And it's an incredible setting.
05:00So remember, context is everything.
05:02Oh, yes.
05:03This week we've invited a guest judge whose middle name is Flamboyance,
05:07which is a bit of a mouthful when you put it together with Laurence Llewellyn Bowen.
05:14I love him.
05:15You love him.
05:16I love his style, yeah.
05:17Yeah.
05:18So, it's time to pull up your thermal socks because you've got two days and a budget of £1,200.
05:25So, good luck and I'll see you there.
05:30The Lake District is gorgeous.
05:40Everything seems like a postcard.
05:42Here we are.
05:43Wow.
05:44There it is.
05:45Oh, isn't it?
05:46Well swag.
05:47Oh my gosh.
05:48Gorgeous.
05:49It's the first challenge.
05:50I'm hoping everything goes to plan and I end up with a really amazing space that Michelle loves.
05:58Have you ever seen anything else before?
05:59I haven't.
06:00You know.
06:01No.
06:02No.
06:03Me neither.
06:04Nerves.
06:05Excitement but a whole lot of nerves.
06:07I'm like a duck.
06:08Casual up here.
06:09Freaking out underneath.
06:10People try to put us to death.
06:13Talking about my generation.
06:15Oh wow.
06:16Okay.
06:17It's pretty compact.
06:20The dinky rooms are only two to three metres wide.
06:24Yikes.
06:25How small is the space?
06:27It's too big.
06:29But they're all high ceilinged.
06:32Some with original wood panelling.
06:34I absolutely love this ceiling.
06:36The designers will have to allow some space.
06:39We can see the lake.
06:40For backpacks and muddy footwear.
06:43So this area will be a kind of dressing area where you get rid of your boots.
06:47And no transformation is possible without interior design masters trusted tradespeople.
06:52Welcome to meet you.
06:56Each designer will have their own carpenter and decorator.
06:59Ready to go.
07:00To bring their designs to life.
07:02I need lots of help.
07:03Okay.
07:04I just want to know if I can do it in the time.
07:06Everyone want me?
07:07Well yeah, if you can do it.
07:08Let's get this done.
07:13I'm designing it almost for myself and my best friend when we were kids called Maria.
07:20The idea is this young girl Maria is in the UK from Lebanon on a little trip by herself.
07:27And when she finished her hike outside, she entered this shepherd's hut and it looks lovely and cosy and warm.
07:33Like Maria, Rita's also of Lebanese heritage but now lives in rural Lancashire.
07:39It looks like a hat.
07:40I'm super excited to be part of interior design masters.
07:48My design style will be rustic, textural, chic.
07:53I was born in Iraq.
07:55Due to the war, we had to escape.
07:58When you move a lot of houses in four different countries, you learn that home is a feeling.
08:05It is not four walls.
08:06I think escaping a war, I've learned that today could be the last day.
08:11How can I make it the best day?
08:13I believe a design has a power to make people feel better.
08:17Rita, this is my biggest dream.
08:19My plan for my room is Adventurer Hut.
08:23I'm inspired by slate, which is really common in the Lake District.
08:26So the paint colours are mainly grey.
08:30Rita's using the slate grey paint to cover the walls, ceiling and bed area,
08:36which will be enclosed with fence panelling to show off her signature rustic style.
08:41In the sink area, she's adding pops of orange and cladding it with corrugated iron.
08:48Finally, hooks will be attached to hang wet clothes and towels.
08:54I would like it to look like a shepherd's hut in the middle of the woods.
08:57Yeah.
08:58And then normally...
08:59Quite an old shepherd's hut.
09:00I've actually used for maybe a hundred years.
09:03This old building has played right into my aesthetic, so I'm really quite lucky in this challenge.
09:09Craig's signature style is retro-vintage, which he's expressed at home in Hastings.
09:15I have designed my house and two previous houses.
09:22The gift shop, which I used to have in London.
09:25My husband's barber shop.
09:27My design style has been kitschy, it's been chintzy, but it always referred to the past.
09:34I am a giftware designer.
09:36I design lots of little beautiful things that people put around their house,
09:40but I don't do the room itself.
09:42To be involved in interior design for a living would be amazing.
09:45The sky's the limit.
09:47So my design for this room is based on a sort of a vintage travel vibe.
09:51The plan with these bunks is they're going to become vintage boat bunk.
09:55So they're going to be completely covered in.
09:58A little shelf, a little light, privacy curtain, and I think they're going to be really cute.
10:05Craig's sleeper bunks will be painted a 1940s-inspired green he's using throughout the room.
10:12He's adding period features like retro light fittings and a vintage wardrobe.
10:18The focal point of the room will be a wallpaper mural designed by himself.
10:24The mural is based on the old vintage travel posters.
10:28A little bit nervous if I haven't seen it in real scale.
10:32It's all in rolls.
10:33I've really put all my eggs in one basket.
10:35If it doesn't work, not only do I have an empty wall, I don't have my link to the Lake District.
10:40So it's very important.
10:41Right, I've got my wallpaper.
10:45Craig isn't the only one who's designed their own mural.
10:48You've designed this?
10:49Yes, I drew it.
10:50That's Lake Windermere.
10:51My signature style is bold and romantic.
10:57My name is Aisha and I live in Hove.
11:00I've been a model since I was three years old.
11:02Walked in London, Fashion Week.
11:04And I'm so proud that I did those things, but they didn't give me the sense of satisfaction.
11:09So design is where I'm headed to.
11:13I'm in my second year of studies at design school.
11:16And I think about interior design all the time, to be honest.
11:19I love it so much.
11:21Just always there.
11:22It's too much.
11:25The concept's centered around the sunrise and the sunset.
11:27So it's like color drenched in this peachy orange color.
11:30I just want this room to feel really warm, energizing, and for it to glow.
11:35Oh!
11:36Nice. Perfect.
11:37SA's low-key, natural style stems from his rural childhood.
11:42My signature style is largely organic and nature-inspired.
11:47I grew up in Nigeria, in the countryside.
11:49We had plantations everywhere.
11:51So being here, I feel inspired.
11:53When people walk in here, I want them to feel a fraction of what they're getting from being outdoors.
11:59I'm a manager in a sexual health charity.
12:02I used to run a fashion business back in Nigeria.
12:05And working with color and texture and fabrics was really exciting.
12:08I would love to do interior design for a living.
12:10I've already worked on a project, which was paid.
12:13Lots of friends encouraged me to apply.
12:15I need to stop telling people how to fix their houses, because apparently that's rude.
12:19So for the room, it's nature-inspired colors.
12:22For the walls, we're using a green plaster effect textured wallpaper.
12:27Then the wardrobe goes there, accentuating the octagonal windows.
12:32The octagonal windows have inspired the shape of SA's big wardrobe design, which his carpenter is making from scratch.
12:41He'll paint it brown, along with his bunk beds, to complement his textured green wallpaper.
12:49He'll make a curtain to go round each bunk.
12:52For extra privacy, he's screening off a separate dressing area with a giant floor-to-ceiling curb.
13:00This is the biggest piece of fabric I've ever sewn in my life.
13:04My privacy screen, it's 12 meters of fabric, so it is quite a lot.
13:09I'm not very good at math, so it takes me forever to figure out.
13:13375 multiplied by 2, that is 740, I hope.
13:18Oh, gosh.
13:19The color's not the one.
13:21I think they've seen better days.
13:23My signature style is contemporary luxe.
13:26This space is going to be a flower explosion, and there's going to be stripes on the ceiling throughout.
13:31Lots of stripes.
13:34My name's Victoria, and I'm a project manager.
13:37I was brought up on a working dairy farm, surrounded by milk cows and calves.
13:44Now I live in the west end of Glasgow.
13:46This city is where my heart lies now.
13:49My design style has evolved in the past three years that I've owned this property.
13:53Just being bolder and braver with my design choices, and really designing for myself rather than anyone else.
14:00I would love to put my stamp in all different places.
14:04The biggest design change that I'm making within my space is trying to separate the one room into, like, two functional spaces.
14:13MDF, MDF, up to the ceiling.
14:15Yeah.
14:16Victoria's MDF will form a dividing wall.
14:21On one side will be the dressing room, and on the other, the sleeping area.
14:26Both sections will have wallpaper on every wall.
14:30And she's adding hand-painted stripes to the ceiling.
14:34I love a stripe. I've got a wee stripe in my home.
14:37I know for a fact it was a nightmare to do myself, and it took me forever.
14:40So maybe that was a terrible idea, but it's my signature style and it's definitely a bit of me.
14:44So I think it's important to really showcase who I am as a designer.
14:48When it comes to signature style, mine is leathers and two hot wheels, which is perfect for this location.
15:00It's fun to stay at the YMCA.
15:06It's fun to stay at the YMCA.
15:09What?
15:10Stop, stop, stop.
15:11It's not the YMCA.
15:13It's the YHA.
15:16It's more hiking boots than cowboy boots.
15:20Come on then.
15:21Let's get ourselves clean.
15:23Let's have a hot meal.
15:25We can do whatever we feel.
15:28We can, I suppose, yeah.
15:30YMCA.
15:34Hi, Rita.
15:35Hi, Alan.
15:36This isn't very glamorous, is it?
15:38You're meant to be an interior design master.
15:40What are you doing with this old bit of corrugated iron?
15:43I'm turning skip to sexy.
15:46Skip to sexy?
15:49I'm cladding the wall with it.
15:51Are you going to paint it a colour?
15:52No.
15:53You're just going to...
15:54OK.
15:55What is your...
15:56How would you describe your signature style?
15:58Rustic, textural.
15:59Rustic or rusty?
16:01Bit of both now that I see.
16:03Yeah.
16:04Just give it a nice gentle stroke.
16:06Oh.
16:07We just need to clean it before we clad the wall.
16:10Oh, OK, yeah.
16:11And is it just going to be on one wall?
16:12It's not going to be all like this?
16:13Just one small.
16:14Just a little tuck.
16:15Just a smith.
16:16Yeah, you don't want to go too far, do you?
16:17No, no.
16:19There you go.
16:20I feel like this has really come on in leaps and bounds.
16:22Thank you so much.
16:23Thank you, Rita.
16:24Bye.
16:25This is beautiful.
16:26Where did you find it?
16:27Reclamation yard.
16:28Fab.
16:29Another fan of reclaimed finds is Bryony.
16:32I think about £30 a door in the end.
16:35Brilliant.
16:36But it's cheaper than India.
16:37I know, exactly.
16:38I am boxing in my bunk bed, floor to ceiling.
16:41I've got these reclaimed doors that are going there.
16:44That's kind of going to act as the tree trunk.
16:46And then the green going up over the ceiling is going to act like the tree canopy.
16:50It's completely in my brain.
16:52But I have faith.
16:54I am a mum of two boys and I'm based in Surrey.
16:58I will interior design any friend and family house that they let me do.
17:03Some of them I let them know I'm coming in advance.
17:05Some of them I just come in through the window.
17:08My design style is earthy, organic and restorative.
17:13So I've got really natural vibes.
17:16Mm-hm.
17:17Super, super relaxing.
17:18Yeah.
17:19So they can come for a little restorative next door.
17:20What are they going to come for in yours?
17:22I've got ten.
17:23You've got ten?
17:29My name is Bradley.
17:31I do content creation for a living.
17:33I upload videos on social media of many DIY hacks.
17:37I live with mum and Zaz and I thought this space isn't a bit of me.
17:41My design style is playful, modern.
17:44I've taken over all the houses, creating, painting murals, you name it.
17:49So this is the wallpaper that we're going for.
17:51So we need that everywhere.
17:53It's going on all walls and the ceiling.
17:56And it's going to look like trellis.
17:58So, like, the flowers are, like, growing on the ceiling.
18:00The wallpaper, it is a bit of a gamble.
18:02Like, is it going to look a bit mad?
18:04Is it going to look too much?
18:06Bradley!
18:07Oh!
18:08Look who it is!
18:09I've heard of colour drenching.
18:10Yeah.
18:11This is wallpaper drenching.
18:12Is this your signature style?
18:14Playful, modern, colourful.
18:16And you live with your mum and dad, don't you?
18:18I do, I do.
18:19Is it true when they go to bed sometimes you get the paints out and you paint on their wall?
18:23Do they come?
18:24To go downstairs and, like, what have you done?
18:26Love you, son.
18:27I bet they love it that you're here.
18:28They can have a bit of peace and wake up from the house being exactly as they want it.
18:36So at the moment I am cutting down the tongue and groove boards.
18:40If there's anyone who knows their way around a toolkit, it's design and technology teacher John from Stockport.
18:46I love using power tools.
18:48Normally if I was at work doing this I'd be doing it on a table saw.
18:50But this is amazing, I think I'd probably need this at home.
18:54I studied at art school in London, which led on to creating costumes and props and then architectural modelling.
19:02I'm a dad of two and I've been renovating my own home.
19:05I describe my design style as graphic bohemian, graphic bold elements and muted pullers.
19:11I've been encouraged to apply by my wife, Agatha.
19:14She has watched me watching the show, commenting on everything that said,
19:18OK, you do it then.
19:20I generally put some kind of panelling or woodwork on the things that I do.
19:25And for this particular brief, I've taken the idea of skipping stones on Lake Windermere.
19:30It's all going to be painted in a bluey, greeny, grey colour.
19:33Michelle's encouraged the designers to look to the local scenery for ideas.
19:38I'm absolutely loving this paint colour.
19:41So as well as choosing colours inspired by the Lake District...
19:45How well does that bring in the outside?
19:47She said green, green girls, blue, blue sky...
19:52They're heading into the hostel's forest to forage.
19:55Do you want a bit of mouse so I can stop the wheelbarrow?
19:58What are you hoping for down here?
19:59About a big tree branch.
20:01I think this is the first time I've gone shopping in a forest.
20:04I'm going to make a pair of slate bookends.
20:07I just want to get some of these nice shaped leaves.
20:10More feathers.
20:11Lovely.
20:12I think it's supposed to put orange on the inside.
20:15Oh yeah.
20:16Just because it's a bit grippy.
20:20They can use anything they find.
20:22Trunks will form table legs for my dressing table in my room.
20:26It's basically going to be like a little footstone topper.
20:29Choose.
20:30Or choose from a selection of locally sourced dried flowers and natural materials.
20:35That's gorgeous.
20:37I just use colour all the time, I don't really know when to start.
20:40I'm going to get some pebbles and have a little gallery wall of pebble arrangements.
20:45Listen, this is professional soil, this is.
20:48OK.
20:57I've got this tree branch and I want this to be the clothing rail.
21:01Got my big stuff.
21:03It's functional.
21:04It's outside, inside.
21:06Voila.
21:08It should be like wrapping the birthday present, shouldn't it?
21:12So I picked up branches for my table legs and the top of it is going to be covered with a terrazzo vinyl wrap.
21:18I like to play with textures, so it's like balancing something smooth with a stone-like effect top
21:23with something a little bit more rustic and natural.
21:27Oh, I love it.
21:28Ooh.
21:33That's too ridiculous.
21:36Hi, Craig.
21:37Hello, Alan.
21:38How are you?
21:39What have I told you about going through the bins?
21:42Was you good at foraging?
21:44I wouldn't say it's my forte, but you know, I can work my way around a grassy knoll.
21:49So what I'm doing is I'm recreating the landscape in the form of a bucket.
21:53You know I'm a giftware designer, so this is part of my Lake District collection.
21:56Isn't that clever?
21:58Joking aside, you would probably sell these to people.
22:01If I found a nice gallery in Hastings, it could be art.
22:04Yes, anything could be art these days.
22:06Well, listen, I'll leave you to your bookends.
22:08Thanks, Alan.
22:09Make some more sheep.
22:10Help yourself if you want to taste it.
22:11I've got plenty.
22:12I've got enough grey hairs without making them.
22:14Bye, Alan.
22:24I'm making a box pleat cover for my lampshades.
22:29I'm making cushions.
22:31I'm making curtains.
22:33I'm making a blind.
22:35I feel like there's an enormous amount to do in my room.
22:38I think I'm going to have steam coming out of my sewing machine.
22:44My name's Emma, and I teach art and textiles.
22:47I grew up on the side of a Welsh mountain, so I was always making things.
22:51And this is the perfect opportunity for me to utilise all my skills.
22:56I'm crazy about colour.
22:57My style is colourful.
22:59Happy.
23:00I'm a mum of three.
23:02My kids are rooting for me, but it's a quiet rooting, I would say.
23:06When I told them I was going to be part of Interior Design Masters,
23:09one of them said, that's great, mum.
23:11Can you give me a lift to Primark?
23:17Oh, wow!
23:19That is lush.
23:20I actually love it.
23:22Emma's used her artistic skills to design her own wallpaper.
23:27My room's based on Swallows and Amazons.
23:30I think it's such a fantastic book.
23:32It stands for what this area's all about, being in nature,
23:35a long summer ahead of you.
23:37And I really wanted to use Swallows as a motif on my wallpaper.
23:41I love it. Thank you so very much.
23:44It looks sick.
23:46My signature style is 70s.
23:49I just love it.
23:50Love the music, love the art, love everything.
23:53Holly's a fabric designer,
23:55and she's also designed her own wallpaper
23:57with her take on boating on the lake.
24:00It's got sunshine, it's got boats,
24:03lots of boldness, lots of pattern, lots of orange.
24:07It's my first time doing a wallpaper,
24:09so it's my first time seeing my designs on an actual wall.
24:12Yeah, I love it. It looks amazing.
24:14It wouldn't look out of place in my house.
24:16I'm picking up good vibrations.
24:19I'm Holly.
24:20I'm 26 years old and I live in Salford.
24:24I make all sorts of stuff, mainly cushions.
24:28And sell a lot at festivals.
24:31I'm always making stuff, all trying to make things look cool.
24:35And it does look cool.
24:37Hey, Holly.
24:40Oh, hello, Alan. You all right?
24:42Yeah, what are you doing? Is this bunting?
24:45So these are little flags that we're going to put on the wall in the room.
24:49Oh, I love that.
24:51Quite old-fashioned.
24:52You're an old soul, though, aren't you?
24:54Oh, do you think?
24:55Yeah, I'm getting old vibes.
24:57Not like you smell a wee, but like old, you know, from yesteryear.
25:01Yeah, that's... 70s, flower power.
25:03Yeah, that's a nice way of putting it, yeah?
25:05Yeah!
25:08I love that.
25:09That's so cool.
25:10And you are a bit of a textile whiz.
25:13Oh, I love this.
25:14Oh, thank you.
25:16And more boats.
25:17We love boats.
25:18Yeah.
25:19Have you been on a boat?
25:20No.
25:22I've seen one, though.
25:24Good for you.
25:25Everyone is sewing at the same time.
25:36So, I found myself a nice little corner.
25:38I'm turning the sack into a couple of nice cushions.
25:40I'm not fast strong when it comes to selling.
25:42Normally, to me mum, she's about to her photo.
25:45Is that all about to front, to you?
25:46Is it saying, hey?
25:47There's Y-H-A.
25:48It's backwards.
25:50I'm going to make a circular cushion now.
25:54Just to really challenge myself.
25:56I've got so much sewing to do.
25:57I don't know why I've done this to myself.
26:02Hello there.
26:03Hello there.
26:04What's going on here?
26:05You're making curtains.
26:06Yeah.
26:07Curtains, curtains, curtains.
26:09And are you a whiz at sewing?
26:11I have done a fair bit.
26:12Used to run a fashion business.
26:13Used to make African-inspired outfits.
26:16That's amazing.
26:17So, you work in fashion.
26:19You're a sexual health advocate.
26:21I wondered why you look familiar.
26:23Is there anything you can't do?
26:25I can't get my measurements right.
26:27I ran out of fabric.
26:29Michelle Agunderhin does not want to hear that.
26:31I'm hoping she recognises my ingenuity.
26:34Are they the youth hostel curtains?
26:36Yes, so it's a mix of the youth hostel curtains
26:39and new fabric I brought to make extra curtains.
26:43Very dramatic, isn't it, having a big long curtain?
26:45Yes.
26:48Oh, my gosh.
26:52The green that I'm using is very much like a classic vintage green.
26:56None of this sort of do a coat, go for a cup of tea, watch it dry.
27:00This is competition-level painting.
27:02Now, I'm on the last strip.
27:04The last strip on this bit, anyway.
27:06Masking up stripes has taken a very, very long time,
27:09and there's no wallpaper in the walls,
27:11so I'm panicking ever so slightly.
27:12One bit that we haven't done is the dressing area.
27:15Ah!
27:18Oh, wow.
27:19This looks amazing.
27:20I absolutely love my wallpaper.
27:22This subtle texture is what I wanted.
27:24I just wanted a bit of movement.
27:26Hi, John.
27:27Oh, wow.
27:28Oh, gosh.
27:29Wow, it's dark in here, isn't it?
27:30I know, it is dark.
27:31So, so far, with the paint colour, it looks very dark.
27:36You almost need, like, a head torch.
27:38Maybe it's a bit too dark.
27:44Outside, the forage finds are being transformed.
27:50I'm getting a little leaf imprint.
27:52I've bought some air-dry clay.
27:54I pulled a load of fresh leaves out of the forest.
27:58And then it will be a little wall hanging.
28:02I thought I just needed pebbles,
28:04but then I saw all these other lovely textural materials
28:07and decided I absolutely had to have those as well.
28:10Hi, Aisha.
28:11Hi.
28:12Now, you found this in the forest, didn't you?
28:14Yes, I did.
28:15I only went there for the leaves.
28:16I came back with, like, rocks, sticks.
28:18I got carried away.
28:19It's like when you're going to the supermarket.
28:20I only went in for bread.
28:21Exactly.
28:22I've come out with a rock.
28:23I'm using this fabric paint.
28:25I'm going to print them onto some fabric.
28:27So, a couple of cushions for the bed area and the little seat.
28:29That's so clever.
28:31OK.
28:32Hope for the best.
28:33This is pressure, isn't it?
28:34I know.
28:35Oh!
28:36That was actually cute, isn't it?
28:38That is so good.
28:39Yeah, I like that.
28:40And you're a bit like me.
28:42Used to be a model.
28:44Yeah, exactly.
28:45Can you do a little strut for me?
28:46Go on.
28:47No, I can't.
28:48Oh, come on.
28:49I'll do mine.
28:50It's been a long time.
28:51Yeah, what's this?
28:55So, this is a little table.
29:00Is it going to be a hairy table?
29:02Yeah, it's going to be a hairy table.
29:03Where's your brew going to go?
29:04Yeah.
29:05Just a really cosy cup of tea, isn't it?
29:07It really is.
29:08Keeps it warmer longer.
29:09Have you ever thought of that?
29:10Oh, my God, I think you're onto a winner.
29:11Yeah?
29:12Yeah.
29:13Do you want me to whip you up one for you?
29:14Go on then, I'll have a furry table, please.
29:15All right, I'll get right on that job.
29:16Yeah?
29:17Yeah.
29:18Hi, Victoria.
29:19Oh, hello, Alan.
29:20What are you doing?
29:21I've created light fittings to bring a touch of nature in.
29:25So, how would you describe your style?
29:27My style is contemporary luxe.
29:30So, how are you coping with this challenge?
29:32Contemporary luxe does not say, you're hostile.
29:35No, not at all.
29:36It's been difficult.
29:37How much are you doing for your room?
29:38Are you being ambitious?
29:40Yes, I'd definitely say I'm being ambitious.
29:42We've got two wallpapers, we've got a stripy ceiling,
29:44and I think the stripes were very ambitious.
29:47I didn't fully appreciate the time that it would take to get them on.
29:51The day's running away with us and we've not got long to go.
29:59Really, really pleased with this.
30:01It's like, this is going to get them out.
30:03As the first day draws to a close...
30:05It looks like it's grown on the ceiling.
30:07It's the look that I envisioned.
30:10The designers' signature styles are starting to shine.
30:14I like it.
30:15It's looking better than I thought, actually.
30:17You're so much further on than me, I feel.
30:19Yay!
30:20My decorator has been masking taping all day,
30:23and then I've got no wallpaper up yet at all.
30:25Do you have a lot of it?
30:26Yeah, every wall.
30:27We are real and truly at Panic Stations,
30:29thinking about these stripes and how terrible an idea they were.
30:33Top of the list for day through tomorrow
30:35is get some wallpapers on the walls.
30:38Today I've made two lampshades, cushions, throws.
30:42I'm here, I'm looking out in the mountains,
30:44and I've got my sewing machine.
30:46I'm busy, I'm tired, but I'm not complaining.
30:49I've spent all day on curtains.
30:51I feel very, very behind now.
30:53Hoping to get out of the sewing room.
30:55Me too.
30:56Last bits of sewing to do,
30:58and then I am officially out of here.
31:00There we go.
31:01Done.
31:02With two luxurious minutes to spend.
31:05Day one to other.
31:07Bye-bye, room.
31:08See you tomorrow.
31:19The big build is this bunk bed being boxed today.
31:30The list is getting longer.
31:31Yeah.
31:32Your pièce de résistance is going to be that mural.
31:34Hopefully it'll fit.
31:35Hopefully.
31:36I'm feeling slightly better now that we've got a wee bit of wallpaper on.
31:41Hello, Emma.
31:42Yoo-hoo.
31:43Oh, my gosh.
31:44Like, the birds are coming from outside.
31:46It's amazing.
31:47I really, really like it.
31:48I've got a lot of colour coming in with my accessories,
31:51but you can hold back with them, can't you?
31:53Yes.
31:54You can always stick out like,
31:55oh, that's too much.
31:56I'll take it away.
31:57As Michelle says, you've got to learn when to edit.
31:59I love when she does that.
32:01Edit.
32:02That's in Emma's room.
32:03I won't lie.
32:04There's this slight, like, oh, gosh.
32:07We'll see how mine turns out.
32:12Riley.
32:13Hi, Alan.
32:14Hello.
32:15What's going on here?
32:16I'm just chucking a bit of coffee on the wall.
32:18You're already sick of it.
32:19Yeah, yeah.
32:20I've had enough.
32:21No, it's adding, like, a bit of a lime wash effect.
32:23It's like a cheaper version.
32:25Budget's low.
32:26Budget's low, but smell is high.
32:28It does smell of coffee.
32:29Will that go?
32:30It will go.
32:31Don't panic.
32:32But this is so cheap to do.
32:34Yeah.
32:35Any idiot can throw coffee up a wall.
32:37Do you want to have a go?
32:38I'll do it wrong.
32:39And what we've got here is my vintage wardrobe that I got for real bargain on the internet.
32:47The designers need to think about storage for their tiny rooms.
32:50The main challenge is that it has to fit into a space that's smaller than it.
32:55Craig shrinking his wardrobe.
32:57This is exactly what I wanted.
32:59But Essay's going supersized.
33:02I didn't realise how big it would actually look like in real life.
33:06I call it the caskets, so if tomorrow doesn't go well, I'll just lie there, take my last breath, close the doors and go in style.
33:17These are my 50p chairs.
33:20John's going for a more basic storage option, repurposing one of his charity shop chairs.
33:26I'm going to take off these legs so we can hang boots on those.
33:30T-modded boots aren't going all over everything.
33:32And Holly's found a new use for a pair of oars.
33:35They do a lot of boat trips around here.
33:38So by replacing the curtain rod with oars, hopefully they'll look up and be like,
33:42oh yeah, that's what we're going to do today, guys.
33:44We're going to get a boat.
33:46I've got my walking sticks up there.
33:49And they look cute.
33:51Anything that feels a little bit historical always feels super nice.
33:54And having my doors at the end of my bed creates the privacy,
33:58but also brings in amazing, like, natural wood.
34:01Brian is not the only designer to have a big bed build.
34:06Oh my gosh.
34:07With my bunk beds, I've decided to create a frame around them.
34:10I'm introducing kind of a curved profile.
34:13That's kind of to represent the sunset.
34:14I love it. It's beautiful.
34:16Wow, this looks brilliant.
34:18I think that the vintage sleeper bunks were really cute and self-contained,
34:22particularly for younger visitors.
34:23I think they'll really appreciate pulling the curtains
34:25and getting into their little cosy space.
34:27Thanks for that. It looked great.
34:29So the plan is to make it look like a shed that has two bunk beds in them.
34:35It is bringing the outdoors indoors,
34:38because the material is like garden fencing or a shed in your garden.
34:43The shed bed.
34:45Other designers have decided to give their bunks a simple paint job.
34:50It might be controversial using red, but I really, really like it.
34:54The thing I'm worried about most is probably the bed.
34:57I think that is something that I could have gone a bit more wild with.
35:01A lot of people have found their way to disguise their bed, build it in.
35:05They all look really amazing, so it scared me.
35:08Have I done something wrong by not doing much to my bed?
35:11Rita.
35:12Hi, Alan.
35:13Hello. What are you doing with your walking sticks?
35:15I'm just going to try to put them here as a little feature.
35:19Corrugated iron.
35:20What do you think?
35:21It's lovely.
35:22Can I be honest with you?
35:23You know, when you said you were going to put it in the room, I was a bit like,
35:25Oh, okay.
35:26But putting it there is perfect.
35:28It gives so much texture to that little room.
35:31And I love the darkness.
35:32It makes it really cosy.
35:34That's a good one, because I want them to feel cosy in here.
35:37But it's not about you.
35:38It's about Maria, your character.
35:40Is she cosy here?
35:41She's...
35:42I think so far she is cosy here.
35:44Yeah.
35:45Is Maria a bit of an exhibitionist?
35:46Because you haven't got any curtains.
35:49There's going to be curtains at some point.
35:51Of course.
35:52Right, well, listen.
35:54You get on with it.
35:55Thank you so much for visiting.
35:56Get those curtains up now.
35:57Bye!
35:58I have never made a Roman blind before.
36:01Emma's finally escaped the sewing room and has come outside to do more sewing.
36:07It is a big job.
36:08In terms of ease, it would have been great to go out and buy a blind.
36:12But I don't think that the challenge really is about going out and shopping.
36:16Very nice to see Holly putting up the mural.
36:22It means we're one step closer.
36:25Murals are a big part of what I do in my designs.
36:28They're all based on topographical maps from the local area.
36:31When I was little, I wanted to be an artist and I remember having a conversation with the careers person at school and they told me to go away and come back with a proper job.
36:41So, yeah, doing this is a bit of an outlet for that, actually.
36:46I absolutely love my wall mural.
36:49It feels really nice to see something that you've drawn go up onto the wall.
36:53Oh, my goodness.
36:55This is gorgeous.
36:56Have you painted this?
36:57No.
36:58So, it's kind of like a digital file.
36:59You send it off and they put it onto strips of wallpaper.
37:01That's incredible.
37:02It's amazing.
37:03I'm painting murals maps of Windermere and the surrounding areas.
37:06Oh, nice.
37:07I've tried to do a similar thing.
37:08And you're hand painting it?
37:09I'm hand painting those, yeah.
37:10Yeah.
37:11But I think this is a way quicker way of doing it.
37:13Yes.
37:14It looks amazing.
37:15Thank you very much.
37:16Great job.
37:17Craig's made a really smart choice of opting for a digitally printed mural, whereas I am
37:21there with a little brush painting a mural.
37:28Beatrix Potter had her holiday home here.
37:31Instead of a mural, some of the designers are creating their own artwork.
37:35One of the most famous books in the world has been created based upon, like, where we are.
37:39So, a little touch of that inspiration to add to my room.
37:43I'm going to be creating a memory box.
37:45So, the idea is things when you go on an adventure that you might need or that inspires you and
37:51remind you of your trip.
37:52I definitely need a torch because it's so dark upstairs.
37:55And I've got a little illustration of Maria.
37:58That's my girl.
37:59These are my shelves for my bedside.
38:01So, they're going to frame my lamps.
38:06Every hostel bunk bed needs a reading light.
38:09It will definitely disperse the light.
38:10It will definitely disperse the light.
38:11Brian is adding placemats to hers.
38:13It will create a really nice light effect, but also, it's a really inexpensive light shade, basically.
38:19I wouldn't have thought of making a lampshade out of a plant pot until I arrived at Interior Design Masters.
38:26The body will be cream and that classic, vintage enamel look where the edge will be red.
38:33One hour to go!
38:35I'm done with sewing.
38:37I'm not touching a needle and thread again.
38:40Hopefully, this should update the old curtains.
38:44You haven't got long!
38:46Hurry up!
38:47Who wants a sugar rash?
38:49Kendall Minkay!
38:50Grown in the area.
38:51It's like soap.
38:52It is like soap and it tastes like soap.
38:54Give you an energy boost.
38:55All right, come on.
38:56Who needs an energy boost?
38:58Kendall Minkay!
38:59Do you like it?
39:00Not really.
39:01Oh, we'll pop it back then, love.
39:03Sure.
39:04It's a local delicacy, but you must know that.
39:06Do you love it?
39:07That's exactly what I need right now.
39:09Thank you, Alan.
39:10Oh, my pleasure!
39:11Thank you!
39:12Enjoy!
39:13God, Kendall Minkay!
39:18My speed has definitely increased.
39:20The final piece, the mural on the Zoll.
39:23Literally just going with whatever comes to me as.
39:26I really hate this thing.
39:31Totally blind and blind next time.
39:35We're really up against it, I think, with these curtain rails.
39:38Going up at the 11th and a half hour.
39:40No, it's not going to work.
39:42It's not looking nice, is it?
39:43No.
39:44Let's get it out.
39:45Let's forget about the curtains.
39:47I couldn't get my divider curtain in the room.
39:50The curtain rail just wasn't the right size.
39:52It wasn't the right strength.
39:54Upset.
39:55Really, really upset.
39:57Does that look straight?
39:59Oh, that's so funny.
40:02I'm all done.
40:05Oh, my days.
40:07That was a ride.
40:09It is lovely, isn't it, that view?
40:18Sir Lawrence, you're much of a hiker, walker?
40:20I do walk.
40:21As you can plainly see, I have an ability to walk.
40:23People come here for this.
40:25This is what I want to see reflected.
40:27So what's going to be really interesting
40:29is how they adapt their signature style
40:32to respond to the environment.
40:34I'm looking for rooms that are part of the romance
40:38of being in this kind of landscape.
40:40These rooms have to be a cherry on the top
40:44of the cake of this experience.
40:45Designing a bespoke mural is a scary moment.
40:56I was really relieved when Ollie put it up.
40:58I think I've shown my style.
41:00I think I've done everything I possibly could.
41:02Oh, I feel like a time traveller.
41:06Craig has given us a 1940s steamer cabin.
41:09And I love it.
41:11What he's done here is evoke those beautiful,
41:14idyllic, optimistic, slightly art deco travel posters.
41:19We are all on that steamship in the 1930s,
41:22chugging across Lake Windermere.
41:24And we're on our holidays.
41:26Somehow he's managed to pull off that alchemy
41:28that it's full but it feels cosy.
41:31And I feel transported but not taken away from where I've come to.
41:35Yeah.
41:36So many details to feast your eyes on.
41:38It just all sits together so beautifully.
41:41Even down to the lampshade,
41:42that's completely appropriate for this space.
41:44Look at the little landscape he's made on the windowsill
41:47using the slate.
41:48They're bookends.
41:54I literally made everything in that room.
41:58I feel like I've had a creative baby
42:01and it's gone out into the world.
42:03Shiver me timbers, Michelle.
42:05Swallows and Amazons, I think.
42:07The Swallows and Amazons starting point I think is genius
42:10cos it's all about Windermere.
42:11It is that kind of jolly hockey sticks,
42:14nostalgic vision of childhood.
42:15So all of this is great and the ceiling is genius.
42:18Love it.
42:19But then I just feel Amazons got totally carried away
42:22with all the making and the crafting,
42:24which I know is her comfort zone.
42:25Too much craft.
42:26Let's just put the craft back in the bag
42:28and focus on the design.
42:35Hopefully Laurence and Michelle will feel
42:37their cosy garden vibe.
42:40I do think my favourite piece is the tree branch.
42:45This is very refreshing and uplifting.
42:47If I booked this, I would be so cheered.
42:50It's this optimistic floor abundance
42:52and the ceiling works.
42:54It feels as if we're in a trellised arbour.
42:57I would not be at all surprised
42:58to find Miss Marple sitting in the corner.
43:00There's that real kind of, you know,
43:01tea time gentility going on here.
43:03I'm going to applaud this.
43:05Bradley's way of incorporating a piece of the local environment,
43:09one single twig making a little hanging rail.
43:12As long as they gaze on what a loose sunset.
43:17I feel really happy with what I've done.
43:19I love the colour drenching.
43:20It really gives that warm, energetic, welcoming feeling.
43:26Ooh, we've walked into a sunset in Aisha's room.
43:29I feel as if I've walked into a cocktail.
43:31It's very peachy.
43:32Yeah.
43:33Which is a very love or loathe colour,
43:34but it does go beautifully with that ceiling.
43:36And I think it's a great palette for a space like this.
43:38The weather is rolling in.
43:40Why not keep it sunny inside?
43:42I mean, the whole bed itself has become terribly architectural.
43:45She's had the creativity to print these cushions using leaf prints.
43:49I think it's a very simple and quite sophisticated way
43:53of bringing that outside in.
43:55Got a black magic woman
43:59Got a black magic woman
44:00It's over!
44:01Have a tiny bit of a worry.
44:03Maybe it's a bit too dark.
44:06Ooh!
44:07Heavens!
44:08So this is much more of a retreat from outside.
44:10She's created a little kind of dark, cooning sanctuary here.
44:14I think one of the big things she's done
44:15is the good old-fashioned colour drench
44:17and some super sexy textures.
44:20Have you seen the bathroom?
44:21I know!
44:22It's fantastic.
44:23She's used very few elements in here,
44:26but so cleverly that really lifted.
44:29Like one piece of corrugated iron,
44:31the orange hooks, the rusty mirror.
44:33It just absolutely transforms that area.
44:36The tableau, I mean, that could be hideous.
44:40But for some reason it really super works,
44:42I think because she has an artist's eye.
44:45Her signature style has clearly married beautifully with the brief here.
44:50I think she's understood who the user is
44:52and she's inspired me.
44:53I would stay in this room and want to go home
44:55and make my own version of her tableau.
44:57What, rip it off?
44:58Yeah.
44:59Yeah.
45:02I do really, really welcome any feedback
45:04because I'm here to learn because it is new to me.
45:07Stepping out of my mum bubble
45:09and going into something that I really, really hope to be doing.
45:13Ooh!
45:15First impressions, I rather like this.
45:17There's lots of lovely crunchy texture in here.
45:19The recycled doors and the walking stick used as the curtain pelmet,
45:23I actually think are really subtle and quite lovely.
45:26She is showing that she understands that when people come here
45:31they want to feel Windermere.
45:34And actually that stool couldn't be more Windermere if it tried.
45:38I rather love this little picture.
45:40Do you?
45:41There's something about that,
45:42putting the real moss with a little hand drawn
45:44and framing it beautifully, that would work for me.
45:46That works.
45:47Apparently, she spent quite an age coffee staining these pale walls.
45:52Look, there are actual coffee drips in evidence.
45:55Little trickles.
46:00I'm worried Michelle and Lawrence will say
46:02you could have finessed some details.
46:05I think I have a few rough edges.
46:07There's a richness to this room with the very muted walls
46:15and then a kind of big obelisk-y type wardrobe.
46:20Which is talking the language of the space,
46:22reflecting the octagonal windows.
46:24It's slightly odd to have such a big clunky piece of furniture
46:26in a youth hostel room.
46:28I love the fact that he's put this gorgeous braid around the curtains.
46:32It's a really simple, easy hack that absolutely transforms them.
46:37And then the colours, using that beautiful blue inside the windows.
46:41He's obviously very good at architecture and very good at colour.
46:43One of the moments of Triumph is using texture on the walls.
46:47Actually, if this had been a flat colour,
46:49it would have been very unsatisfying.
46:51But then all that thought process has just all gone a bit wrong on the bed.
46:55The way he's done the privacy screen here really doesn't work.
47:00He's tried to enclose the light.
47:02He's just sort of put a shape around it.
47:04Schemes like this are also about details.
47:07Because even great ideas like the brocade edging,
47:09when you hit a corner, you can't just run one bit on top of another.
47:17I feel like it speaks volumes about me as a person
47:20and I'm delighted with end product.
47:23Oh, this is interesting.
47:25Victoria's sectioned off the main bit of room
47:28and given me a little dressing room area.
47:31The creation of a dressing room is quite questionable in this context.
47:34With this brief, what you need is somewhere to put your boots on.
47:37It's not to put your blusher on at all.
47:39We didn't need the stripes on the ceiling.
47:41And I have a real issue with the dried flower chandelier.
47:45I just feel that that's a complete contrast with the dried flowers
47:48against this beautiful wallpaper.
47:50I think Victoria's had kind of idea buffet blindness.
47:53Victoria describes her style as contemporary luxe.
47:56Definitely feeling that here.
47:58It's a little bit too much Victoria and not quite enough youth hostel.
48:03I really do feel like I need validation from someone else
48:10and that it's helping me realise that I'm not deluded thinking I can do this.
48:16Oh.
48:17You've gone and you've done your walk and you've flopped in your chair.
48:20You're soothed by this room.
48:22Nothing is going to agitate you here.
48:25All of this matchboarding on the wall will have taken every bit as much work
48:30as everybody else expended on building stuff around the bed.
48:33He's used the hours but in a completely different way, in a very subtle way.
48:36I love how he's taken the graphics of the Auden survey maps
48:40and just popped that into the alcoves.
48:43He's got some quite clever ideas.
48:44These boot pegs which look like they're cut off chair legs.
48:47That's really nice.
48:48You can just tell that all he wanted to do,
48:51he has done and it has been done incredibly well.
48:59It feels quite magical creating a whole 3D room.
49:03I'm absolutely buzzing with the way the wallpaper I designed came out.
49:11Guess what Holly's signature style is.
49:141970s.
49:16The wallpaper works because she's clearly taken the inspiration from the locality.
49:20It's Windermere but, you know, Windermere on planet Holly.
49:24Lots of lovely little touches.
49:25Things like using the ore as the curtain pop.
49:28She's made her own clay leaves.
49:30I'm rather happy that she's introduced those into the room
49:33because the rusticness of those played off against what is a quite sophisticated pattern
49:38actually gives me that friction that I love.
49:41Super strong start.
49:43Comfortable and confident to not overdo it.
49:46Oh my gosh.
49:47Oh my gosh.
49:50Rita's room.
49:51Before Michelle and Laurence deliver their verdict.
49:54There's nothing in here I don't like.
49:56The designers have a chance to see what they're up against.
50:00Now I'm worried.
50:01This must be Holly's.
50:03I am obsessed with that wallpaper.
50:05I have put the wallpaper all over my room and I am thinking is it too much?
50:10Oh my gosh.
50:12Bradley.
50:13It's gorgeous.
50:15I love that he's wallpapered the ceiling.
50:19Wow.
50:20Well done Kate.
50:21I know.
50:22It looks amazing.
50:23It makes me feel very nervous.
50:24Emma designed this paper on the ceiling.
50:25It just sings.
50:26Yeah it does.
50:27The ten designers are back at the studio.
50:28Hello.
50:29To discover who has earned standout space and who will find themselves on Michelle's sofa.
50:43How are you all feeling?
50:45Nervous.
50:46John why have you come as a farmer?
50:49I just got back from the Lake District.
50:52It's really had an effect on you.
50:55Yes.
50:56Let's bring out the judges who not only found time to critique your rooms in the lakes but
51:01also managed to get their Duke of Edinburgh bronze awards.
51:05It's Lawrence and Michelle.
51:07Yay.
51:08Hello everyone.
51:10Hello.
51:11Hello.
51:12Hi.
51:13How did our designers do?
51:14My goodness.
51:16Absolutely storming.
51:18Well done.
51:19I don't know what it is about you lot but the class of this year.
51:23You're mighty.
51:25Thank you so much.
51:27So we're desperate to know.
51:29Which of the rooms would you be happy to hang your hiking boots up in?
51:34Wow.
51:35For both of us there was a clear standout space.
51:42Rita.
51:43Yay!
51:46It was unexpected with your use of the dark colours and the texture.
51:53I mean I would be chuffed to bits to check in there.
51:56Thank you so much.
51:57It means a lot.
51:58Who else is going through to next week?
52:01Craig.
52:02A beautiful evocation of a 1940s steamer room.
52:06Thank you very much.
52:07John.
52:08It was a tour de force.
52:10Really, really thoughtful.
52:12We loved it.
52:13Briony.
52:14I think this brief was very on point for your signature style but well done.
52:20Holly.
52:21Your signature style is the 1970s but what was so clever is how you modulated it to serve the client and this brief.
52:28Thank you very much.
52:29The next person going through is Bradley.
52:32There was something so charmingly 1930s about her.
52:35Aisha.
52:36Very peach but loving the architectural ambition of your bed.
52:41Thank you so much.
52:42But that does mean that Emma, Essay and Victoria, I'd like to see you on my sofa.
52:49Okay.
52:50Okay.
52:51I'm really pleased.
52:56Yeah!
52:58We're no, we're no chicken dinner.
53:00Rita!
53:01I know, I didn't believe it.
53:02I know.
53:03I was doubting myself and it gave me a boost to believe in myself a bit more.
53:07Oh, Emma.
53:08Come on.
53:09Obviously not happy to be heading towards the sofa but I'm just going to look at it as a great opportunity to get some feedback.
53:17Wish us luck.
53:18Thank you guys.
53:19I missed out a key part of my design and some things were not finessed well so I expected to be on the sofa.
53:26I'm not ready to go home.
53:28I feel like I've got so much more left in the locker.
53:31Hello.
53:32Hello.
53:33Hello.
53:34Greetings.
53:35Emma, I'd love to start with you.
53:37Yep.
53:38We loved your ceiling and I thought it was incredibly clever to have used the Swallows and Amazon reference.
53:44That paper, Emma, was absolutely perfect.
53:48I think you could have covered the entire room with it and it would have been wonderful.
53:51Yeah.
53:52Once I'd seen Bradley's room in that statement I think I wish I'd had the courage to do that.
53:57You then defaulted to what I think is your comfort zone of crafting and making.
54:01Do you think that's fair?
54:03This is something that I do.
54:04I set myself a challenge because I want to prove that I can do it because I have a limb difference and I don't need to do that.
54:10I need to think I'm a designer, I can project manage.
54:14You've used absolutely the specific word which shows that you know exactly what you need to do and project management is an incredibly important part of that.
54:22Yeah.
54:23And you can buy, you know, you can buy.
54:24I can shop.
54:25You can shop.
54:26Do shopping, Emma.
54:27Yes, do shopping.
54:28I think that's what I've learnt absolutely and I completely agree with your feedback.
54:31So, Essay, loads of beautiful little details in your room.
54:35The one thing I'm curious about though is why did you design a large wardrobe?
54:41Because I'm not sure hikers hang up their clothes.
54:45I should have distilled it down to a typical hiker and do they actually need that much space?
54:50You use these very earthy tones.
54:52The textured wallpaper was absolutely what was needed in that.
54:56But I think there were other projects that lacked finesse.
55:01I think I focus so much on doing so many little things.
55:04Yes.
55:05No matter how many ideas, if you don't finish it, then it doesn't really appeal to who's using it.
55:10Yeah.
55:11Victoria, one of the only people who just boldly divided your room and you also then added wallpaper, there were stripes, there was a lot going on.
55:21I wanted to add that element of luxe and decided to have a kind of dressing area.
55:25I think I got a bit too much Victoria's kind of view of what she wanted from a kind of quite luxe-y hotel room and you maybe forgot this is a youth hostel for people that are walking and hiking.
55:39Yeah.
55:40Okay.
55:41Emma, I'm going to let you off the hook.
55:42Okay.
55:43You will go through to next week, but give me more design, less craft, because I do think you understood who you were designing for.
55:54Victoria, I admired your ambition.
55:59I admired the multitude of ideas and I think you understand what you have to do to refine that.
56:06And Essay again, I love the details in your room.
56:09So you're showing me such virtuosity and spirit and I have no doubt that you're going to succeed absolutely.
56:17But it's between sort of bigger picture and smaller details.
56:22So that does mean that Essay, I'm so sorry, but you will be the first person to leave us this week.
56:30Thank you so much.
56:32Come here Essay.
56:33Aww.
56:34Thank you so much.
56:35Aww.
56:36It's just the beginning.
56:37I am proud of myself.
56:39This experience has made me realise that I have more in me than I thought I did.
56:43Bye guys, do well.
56:44Make me proud.
56:45Make me proud.
56:46Well.
56:47I am so relieved.
56:48Lots to think about.
56:49I am ready for the next challenge.
56:53Drum roll please.
56:56Yeah.
56:57The designers get to grips.
56:58Have it to you.
56:59Have it.
57:00With a recycling challenge.
57:02It's going to happen for new lights as a coffee table.
57:04As they attempt to repurpose shipping containers.
57:06Upcycled chic, that's what I'm doing.
57:08Into swanky offices.
57:10Oh look at the colours.
57:12Using sustainable materials.
57:14That's the best thing I've ever designed.
57:16And contents from Escape.
57:17Ho ho ho ho.
57:18A floor lamp.
57:19That's what I'm going to make.
57:20Ta da.
57:21Ta da.
