Interior design masters new series - let the battle commence

[Chrysanthemum5]

The next series starts on the 21st April. Looking forward to banquettes, and bizarre paint choices, and upcycling of old junk. DD and I are rewatching the old series and I’d forgotten how crazy some of the rooms were!

Tonight’s episode- The final five designers transform Leeds studio apartments. Former winner Lynsey Ford joins Michelle to judge, and they're blown away by the dramatically different designs.

I liked Lynsey on her series and felt she did good, competent designs I’m interested to see what she thinks of this lot!

She was very good at spatial awareness as I recall?

Be good to see her back.

Yes and she was also great at using her budget wisely and sourcing pieces

I hope they have improved from last week!

Evening all. It really irritates me that they show the exterior of that building (which I've been into) and immediately cut to a studio mock-up of the inside.

Well this week is all about storage isn’t it?

God sleeping opposite the cooker is giving me MAFS AUS vibes.

Looking forward to this week, surely it can’t get any worse than last weeks poor efforts. And Lynsey is great.

Evening. Why young renters, why don’t middle aged renters get a look in :)

Im after good tips tonight I’m moving this summer and have no idea how to start.

Who’ll realise this is not a dressing the space task but where do I hide my shit one?

I thought that too! So weird. Just put the kitchen in the living room bit for gods sake.

Not stupid enough to pay £1100 a month for a bedsit in Leeds

Because young renters are more likely to be impressed by the design?

Lia has no wardrobes?

Ah the wardrobes are already there

Imagine your bedroom looking into the kitchen. Just horrid

Ajeet is going home

All of them planning a partition for the bed area so far which is a good call.

Duran Duran isn’t.

‘Faded terracotta drench’.

Flesh coloured walls then?

Awful isn’t it .. the whole block screams “owned by foreign investment firm.. “

Is Duran Duran going to do her 'trademark' wobbly lines up the wall and ceiling, I wonder?

Sure does

No shade on Leeds, but £1,000 a month for a tiny wee studio is London levels of stupid.
