The Great Interior Design Challenge 2017

[WellErrr]

Anyone watching!?

Loved the last thread, wonder if we'll have a Mumsnetter on the show this year??

Yes, Desolate, that painter's got a nice line in eye-rolls to camera

They should scrap the weird fake chats between the contestants

That paint job does look terrible- could just be because of how the light is falling.

Gold sticky back plastic!!!!!

Country farmhouse isn't hard to do, particularly the farmhouse kitchen. You just need to accessorise with the right things, bits of baler twine, sales catalogues, those rubber band things for castrating sheep, socks warming on the radiator and a very muddy doormat with damp wellies. Simples.

What is it with them and hiding radiators? Don't people enjoy being warm?

Can I just conform that the wall curtains are covering the radiator?

How does that work then? What if you need to maintain the radiator in any way? Or even turn it up or down?

I do like that room though. Not to my taste but I do like it.

That tincan planter looks LETHAL.

Exactly Officer, don't forget a couple of dogs by the aga and a goodly layer of animal hair and shit.

Slam down a saddle in the middle of the table too a la Cold Comfort Farm and job's a goodun officer

I liked the grey.

I don't see the point in covering the windows up with all that voile.

I like Daniella's living room. Very elegant and calm. Owners are underwhelmed .

I like the room too but I don't understand the fabric wall.

It's also nice to see LBB back in a breton. Classic Little Beardy Bloke.

James' is a bit...meh?

I like the white picture rail with the same colour above. I've got white over the top of my rails.

You can't have the sofas either side of the fireplace or you couldn't see the TV.

I thought that dressing table made by slapping a bit of wood across two units looked utterly crap!

I like James' room. It's good that he's managing his time too.

The floor looks like it's coming up and needs glueing back down

I have to say I like bits of Daniella's room, but not the radiator-covering drapes.

Not keen on James's. WTF is with the naff (badly) cut-out wallpaper? Hate that.

I do find it funny that Daniella's room's owners found that room monotone, when before it was all light blue everywhere.

Underwhelmed by both living rooms

Right choice

Told you! Ja.mes was robbed

Oh! I thought it would be James!

Ooh, once you've seen the spreadeagled fanjo on the wallpaper, you can't unsee it, can you? I'd be steaming that straight off

(Which is a shame as I actually quite liked it)

DD and I have been chuckling about the lady parts wallpaper. I said to her, someone on MN will have noticed!
