Interior Design Masters 2026 thread two

[Chrysanthemum5]

Hi all I’ve started a new thread for when number one is full.

I like LLB. He’s not afraid of Michelle.

Lia!s upstairs is much nicer. Downstairs was gloomy.

He needs to replace Michelle for the next series.

Lovely bedrooms. I think Lia will win.

He’s been doing this a long time - and I seem to remember that he never actually wanted to do Changing Rooms so was deliberately contrary and difficult.

I think Lia’s design will appeal to a broader range of people. Sophie’s is more marmite.

I love Leah’s main bedroom.

Lia’s house is very like my mum’s house, well the upstairs anyway.

The £500 wallpaper was worth it. Lia surely has this.

Thank goodness it's holiday lets, I couldn't live with the lary wallpapers...

Duran and Emmely have come dressed as Amish.

I suspect they’ll be ‘adjusted’.

I really want the snake and lemon wallpaper for my office. Loved the pink with it.

Thank goodness. Sophie's was hideous.

I still very much want a change of judge for next year.

Sophie's dining room was practically empty.

Love Lia’s sweary Dad 🤣

So pleased that Lia won. She was so much more professional.
Who do we want for the new judge?

I'm very happy that Lia won. I loved what she did with her cottage, and I would love to stay there.

I really did not like Sophie’s use of animal photographs on the wall it just seemed very out of keeping with her maximalist theme.

Lia definitely deserved to win

Aw I'm glad Lia won. A worthy winner

Yes, it was too much on theme. The animal print was enough to link it to the surroundings, no need to hammer the point home with orangutan portraits.

Do we know when the range will be available in next?

Thursday

Yes I thought the photos actually made it look really cheap and amateur. Put them in the safari park cafe but not a beautiful period property.

Glad Lia won. Hate all these urban outfitter-esque hipster colours like terracotta and olive but she did make it classy and at least gave a nod to the historical style of the building.

Hank’s @RancidRubyDD and I have been watching the series and hoping to get into next to see what is there
