0:00:03 > 0:00:07In Britain we have an amazing array of places we call home,
0:00:07 > 0:00:09from thatched cottages and conversions
0:00:09 > 0:00:11to terraced housing and tower blocks.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14But when it comes to interior design,
0:00:14 > 0:00:17we don't always make the best of the rooms we live in.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19So, we asked 24 amateur interior designers
0:00:19 > 0:00:22to show us how it should be done.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Let's try it.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28We've got 15 minutes and I'm still painting.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30I hope they'll like it, I think they will like it.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33We travelled across the country and through the ages
0:00:33 > 0:00:39to Victorian avenues, Art Deco cul-de-sacs, and Regency squares.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Each time the would-be designers took on similar rooms
0:00:43 > 0:00:45in neighbouring homes.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48And after eight heats, we've picked the best to go through
0:00:48 > 0:00:50to the quarterfinals.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Judging them are designer and President Elect
0:00:53 > 0:00:57of the British Institute of Interior Design, Daniel Hopwood...
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Our quarter finalists need to show
0:00:59 > 0:01:03they've got an extensive repertoire and not just have one look.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06..and interior stylist and magazine journalist Sophie Robinson.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09The designers have already had one shot at this
0:01:09 > 0:01:12so we'll be looking at a marked improvement.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Across our two quarterfinal programmes,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17only four can go through to the next stage of the competition.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19# Dun-dun-dun! #
0:01:26 > 0:01:29This time our amateur designers are giving a new look
0:01:29 > 0:01:33to a very old room in these thatched cottages in rural Dorset.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Four previous winners have already shown they have talent for design.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- Sarah, congratulations! - THEY CLAP
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- Jordan. - THEY CLAP
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Johnny. - Well done, darling.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Charmaine.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48With two semifinal places at stake
0:01:48 > 0:01:51they must show they've learned lessons working with their
0:01:51 > 0:01:55first ever client, as they take on country cottage sitting rooms.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57I'm panicking now.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Great little touch, even if I say so myself.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01I think we know what we need to do.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Could be disastrous. I don't know what else to say.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I'm just concerned she might have bitten off more than she can chew.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10If they don't like it, this is not a winning design.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15Two of you rose beyond and the two designers going through are...
0:02:22 > 0:02:26These thatched cottages are an idyllic vision of old England.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31This is Milton Abbas in Dorset - 36 perfect looking little cottages
0:02:31 > 0:02:33that look like they could have been built in Tudor times.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38In fact, they're Georgian, built here by the local landowner in 1779.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45Three years earlier in 1776, Lord Milton built this grand house
0:02:45 > 0:02:48but he decided that the old village spoilt his view
0:02:48 > 0:02:50and ordered that it be torn down.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53The locals put up a good fight, even refusing to leave their homes.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57But they were no match for the underhand tactics of Lord Milton.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00He even flushed out one tenacious tenant with effluent pond water.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09The estate workers had to live somewhere though,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12so he built an entire new village in a valley out of sight.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15His quest for the perfect estate led him to employ
0:03:15 > 0:03:17the leading experts of the day -
0:03:17 > 0:03:20William Chambers, architect of London's Somerset House,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23and Lancelot Capability Brown, landscaper of Kew Gardens -
0:03:23 > 0:03:25to create this model village.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Now four thatched cottages in this village are getting
0:03:35 > 0:03:38a new look living room from our quarterfinalists.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Johnny won his heat with a modernist inspired design in a 1930s semi.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Now we're into the quarterfinal,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51the competition's going to be a bit stronger.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I'm not nervous, I just want to get in there and get cracking.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Sarah pulled off a traditional design with a Scandinavian feel
0:03:58 > 0:04:00for an Edwardian bedroom.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I feel I'm quite different to the other competitors.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08I'm a mum who has a business who's enjoying this.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I'm just going to give it my best shot and see how I get on.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Charmaine won her place with a '50s themed
0:04:16 > 0:04:18sun room in an Art Deco house.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24So thrilled, I thought I might not be here but I'm so excited.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28I'm at the stage now where I feel like that's it, I'm in it to win it.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32And Jordan brought a touch of Hollywood glamour
0:04:32 > 0:04:34to a Regency town house.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36I can't wait to get started on the competition
0:04:36 > 0:04:39and, yeah, just get cracking on the room really.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42It's such a beautiful setting and the competition is on.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Our first front room
0:04:46 > 0:04:50belongs to local history enthusiasts John and Peggy.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53The house was built in 1773-ish.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58It had some substantial changes to it in the early 19th century
0:04:58 > 0:05:03which turned into a tailor's shop, hence the large bay window.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Keeping the traditional style is of particular importance to them
0:05:06 > 0:05:09as, every two years,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12local residents of Milton Abbas throw a street festival
0:05:12 > 0:05:15and Peggy and John's living room is a main attraction.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Peggy sits down here and she's got a spinning wheel
0:05:17 > 0:05:19and she also does a bit of sewing.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22One of the things about having the place decorated
0:05:22 > 0:05:27is we want to keep it looking traditional.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Before the designers can get started,
0:05:30 > 0:05:34judges Sophie and Daniel want to assess the potential of each room.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- This is so charming. - It's magic, isn't it?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I just love the fact that everywhere I look, there's antiques.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I'm noticing there's a few pieces of original furniture
0:05:47 > 0:05:49in this room as well.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52At least the furniture that you would have seen in a room like this.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Here we have a settle,
0:05:54 > 0:05:58which is sort of an 18th century sofa, and also we have...
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Probably a bit later, but there's a lovely rocking chair here as well.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04In a historical context there is a design challenge,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07and that is addressing the modern needs
0:06:07 > 0:06:09in a beautiful space like this.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12They love the period style. They love authentic materials.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16They don't want to see anything that's fake or reproduction
0:06:16 > 0:06:19so our designers are going to really, really need
0:06:19 > 0:06:21to have done their homework.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26And the designer charged with bringing some rustic charm
0:06:26 > 0:06:30to this cottage is 44-year-old painter and decorator Johnny.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34He may have shown his design skills
0:06:34 > 0:06:36with an ingenious cabinet unit in his heat,
0:06:36 > 0:06:40but he still needs to prove he can pull together a whole scheme.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Each quarterfinalist has been given a week to come up with their designs
0:06:45 > 0:06:48but this is their first meeting with the homeowners.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I've brought in a mood board
0:06:51 > 0:06:54just to show you what I'd like to try and achieve for you.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59You wanted some shelving so I've come up with this style here
0:06:59 > 0:07:02which is more of a free standing shelf
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- which will sit in the alcove at the side of the fire there.- Yeah.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09This is the fabric I chose for your curtains.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11It's silk screen print on there.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Is it based upon design that would have been...
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Yes, it is, it's like a William Morris print,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19so we're going back to that.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23I noticed you wanted to keep the focal point around the fireplace.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28I want to propose more of a natural stone on there, on top of that.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32I have a lovely quartz... white quartz stone.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- I know Peggy doesn't like that. - THEY LAUGH
0:07:35 > 0:07:38I can see that!
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- To me it looks a bit "in your face". - Is it going to destroy your scheme?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- No, it will not.- Are you sure? - No, not at all, it won't.- Good.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50The stone quartz might have gone but Johnny's design has plenty of other
0:07:50 > 0:07:53natural materials to deliver the rustic style.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56When we show this room every two years to the public,
0:07:56 > 0:07:58the first thing we have to do with this radiator
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- is cover it over with old sacks. - Leave it with me then.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05I'll see what we can do to conceal that lovely...
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- ..white radiator. - THEY LAUGH
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I was astonished at how sensitive he'd been to the brief.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17And we know Johnny.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21He likes modern, he likes retro, he likes quite masculine design.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25I thought he was so sensitive to their requests
0:08:25 > 0:08:28and even when he pulled out the white granite tile cladding,
0:08:28 > 0:08:30he moved on away from it very quickly.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33He knew from their reaction that it wasn't the right thing to push.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36There was one moment of insecurity that I picked up on
0:08:36 > 0:08:38and that's when John suggested to Johnny
0:08:38 > 0:08:41about having a radiator cover of some form.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I just would hate to see any MDF fretwork monstrosity over there,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46that'd be really wrong.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49So he's going to have to think of something more original than that.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Like all the designers Johnny now has £1,000 pounds, a builder
0:08:55 > 0:08:58and 48 hours spread over three days to bring a natural touch
0:08:58 > 0:09:00to this historical room.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I would really love to incorporate this natural wood.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05We've got enough of this timber
0:09:05 > 0:09:07and I think he's got a wood shed that he said we could raid as well.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- I can't wait to get up there. - I know. See what he's got.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13First he's going in search of the right piece of wood.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18This is a lovely little Aladdin's cave up here, isn't it?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24The next front room belongs to Lars and Monique
0:09:24 > 0:09:26and their two-year-old son Viggo.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31With Viggo's arrival,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34we've changed the front room into an area
0:09:34 > 0:09:36where you've got a lot of floor space
0:09:36 > 0:09:39that he could play on when he was a little baby.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Now that he's bigger we can actually go back and make it into a...
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- An adult room, cosy. - ..more of a cottagey, cosy room.
0:09:46 > 0:09:52Oh, lovely. What an elegant room. Nicely restored.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55The first thing that hits you, isn't it? The quality of this restoration.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Yes. What's ingenious is actually,
0:09:57 > 0:10:02they've left exposed, at the bottom, the original flint footings
0:10:02 > 0:10:05and plastered over what's called the cob,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07which is at the top which is the rubbish
0:10:07 > 0:10:10which they used to make the walls up.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Old beams, which would have actually come from the original village,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15cos the village was moved,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18and they would have taken anything that they could,
0:10:18 > 0:10:21cos it was of value, and re-used it in these new buildings.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23So these beams are actually older than the house.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Furnishing-wise it's just looking a little drab.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Monique and Lars, they like that Scandinavian look
0:10:29 > 0:10:31which is quite cool in terms of colours,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34but it's a lot about bringing in texture
0:10:34 > 0:10:38and rustic finishes, like wood and stone.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41But our designer's going to have to make it feel warm and homely too.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Making an impact in a room that already looks well designed
0:10:44 > 0:10:48could prove challenging for our next quarterfinalist.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Asked to balance a country look with a modern influence
0:10:51 > 0:10:54is vintage homewares designer, Sarah.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57During the heat she impressed with her craft skills.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00This time the judges want to see versatility
0:11:00 > 0:11:02with some contemporary touches.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08I've put together a little board for you with some ideas.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11So I have chosen, as the natural theme...
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I'm looking at very old, earthy tones,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17beautiful warm colours with perhaps a little bit of textured linen
0:11:17 > 0:11:20and that sort of thing to add some highlights to it.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24We have the sofa and a collection of linens and tweed materials
0:11:24 > 0:11:28to make almost like a patchwork with the cushions.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32So the front of the cushions are all beautiful, natural tweedy colours
0:11:32 > 0:11:35and then the backs of them we've done with linen fabric.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39It will be quite bold but it will give you more than one look.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41An important thing for me is to try and get some
0:11:41 > 0:11:45light in here at, say, at night time when we have closed the curtains.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I have three of these bulbs to hang here but I also have two more
0:11:48 > 0:11:52that I've had wired literally as a plug and a flex and a wire.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55And I have got some silver birch
0:11:55 > 0:11:58that I've brought with me that I'd like to make a standard lamp out of.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Sarah's attempting to balance modern elements with a woodland theme
0:12:02 > 0:12:05and can't resist her signature tool.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I have used them before and I really love them
0:12:08 > 0:12:12but I have found some paint rollers that you can apply to the wall.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15They're just brilliant because they work on uneven surfaces.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Will it be the woodland animals? - Yes, my plan is to just do it here.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20I think the room would be quite cluttered
0:12:20 > 0:12:24if it was all the way round. So I think there, behind the sofa.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28I'm quite excited about that. The...what did you call it?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30It's a paint roller.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33I used it in the last house I did and I nearly didn't bring it along
0:12:33 > 0:12:35cos I don't want to be this kind of one-trick pony
0:12:35 > 0:12:38but I think it's so good, given what you've asked for,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40with the natural element of your brief.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I think it's too good to leave behind.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45She's working to brief but she's putting her style on it as well.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47You'll recognise that as being a Sarah design.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50But I've got to admit, my eyebrows were certainly raised
0:12:50 > 0:12:54when she mentioned that she was bringing out the roller stencil.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57She does need to prove that she can be versatile
0:12:57 > 0:12:59to different looks and styles.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- It'll remind you straightaway. - Oh, putty. Linseed oil, yeah.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Our third cottage, a few doors along,
0:13:14 > 0:13:18was previously used by Corrine and her family as a holiday home.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21We were using the house just as a holiday home
0:13:21 > 0:13:23so it didn't really, really matter what it looked like.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28But after relocating permanently to the cottage 18 months ago,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Corrine and her four children have found themselves
0:13:30 > 0:13:32competing for space in the living room.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34The children play there a lot.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38They've got their games out so if we could have some storage,
0:13:38 > 0:13:40we can put the toys away.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I'd like the room to work for the whole family.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47The beauty of the room is the architectural details
0:13:47 > 0:13:50are still here, it hasn't been spoilt.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Including a bread oven.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58You'd set a fire on inside, get the whole brickwork around it
0:13:58 > 0:14:02very, very hot, then you take all the cinders out
0:14:02 > 0:14:06and put the dough in and the radiating heat will cook the dough.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09And that was the first example of a modern day oven.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12It's a really interesting brief, this one, and it's very common.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16People want their rooms to feel light and airy but also warm and cosy.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19So that storage clearly needs to go, doesn't it?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21It's very dated, flat-packed furniture.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I'd like to see something much more considered in there
0:14:23 > 0:14:26with the cosiness and the soft furnishings.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28We want to see lots of texture,
0:14:28 > 0:14:30wools and linens sitting next to each other.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33I think this is an opportunity to mix lots of patterns,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35see checks and plaids and the tartans all mixed together
0:14:35 > 0:14:37and build up the look that way,
0:14:37 > 0:14:41so the room feels really inviting and soft and warm and cosy.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Aiming to transform this plain space into a functioning family
0:14:46 > 0:14:50living room is 29-year-old design student Charmaine.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53After her well-managed,
0:14:53 > 0:14:57practical '50s office design in her first heat,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00the judges now want to see a more adventurous scheme from her.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02So, I just put together a quick concept board
0:15:02 > 0:15:05just to show you first.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09I'm going to be building you some bespoke cabinets on this wall
0:15:09 > 0:15:12just here, so we've got some cupboards for storage
0:15:12 > 0:15:15and some lovely shelving.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18I would actually have preferred the shelf...
0:15:18 > 0:15:23- to be on this wall and around the doors.- Mm-hmm.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27As a second option I have done just that.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32So, similar thing - cupboards at the bottom, shelving at the top
0:15:32 > 0:15:34and on this wall here, as opposed to here.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Ultimately, I want to make you happy
0:15:36 > 0:15:41so if you would prefer it to be on this wall then I'm happy to do that.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43As well as the shelving I'm planning to extend the window seat.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- Oh, lovely.- So it's a little bit bigger, more comfortable to sit on.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I'll put a lovely tartan seat pad, again with some cushions,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53so you can sit in the window, read a book, drink a coffee.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- I think it's a really good idea, actually.- Excellent.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Along with her practical cupboards and seating,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00she's chosen an autumnal colour scheme.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I'm going to be bringing the colour into the room
0:16:02 > 0:16:05with the soft furnishings so we're going to have colour,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- texture in the linens.- Very much like what...- What you've asked.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13- Yes. What I've asked.- Brilliant! I'm very pleased. It will be great.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I think she really helped Corrine visualise the room
0:16:16 > 0:16:18and Corrine was clearly very unconfident
0:16:18 > 0:16:20about design and how it's all going to work.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23She did keep saying, "It's going to be fabulous!"
0:16:23 > 0:16:27"You will love it!" But I wanted her to say why.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Because I was feeling that it was perhaps a little safe.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36HE SHUDDERS
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Steve, you are not scared of spiders? SHE LAUGHS
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- Are you serious? - Seriously.- Oh, no.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Our final front room belongs to Diana.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51She's owned her home for 28 years
0:16:51 > 0:16:53and lives with son Steve and dog Lulu.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59I want it re-designed because I think a lot of the furniture's
0:16:59 > 0:17:02too big and I'd like a change of colour.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05And so long as it's warm and comfortable and bright,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08that's what I would like.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Diana is keen to hold on to the authentic feel of the cottage.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15As much as I like modern design, I wouldn't like it in this house.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18If it was a suitable house, a modern design could be lovely
0:17:18 > 0:17:21but it would look ridiculous here, wouldn't it?
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- Crikey, what a lot of stuff!- Yeah. It's a very cosy room, isn't it?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31It's about people who are proud of living in a cottage
0:17:31 > 0:17:33and they want to celebrate that.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35They reflect on the past a lot.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39For example, we've got lots of horse brasses hanging over on the beam,
0:17:39 > 0:17:42old cooking utensils hung up around the fireplace,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44sort of indicating what this was used for,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47but they're never going to be used.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49What I would like to see with the designer
0:17:49 > 0:17:51is how they can take all this
0:17:51 > 0:17:54and turn it into something new and fresh.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57The other big challenge I see for a designer in this room
0:17:57 > 0:18:00is making sense of the layout.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03There's clearly too many chairs in here, you can hardly move.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04We've got lots of different finishes.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07There's different woods in here, different fabrics -
0:18:07 > 0:18:10we've got mustard Dralon, leather and then quite a wacky bedspread.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14All that is doing is just cluttering up the eye
0:18:14 > 0:18:17and I think rule of thumb is maximum of two finishes
0:18:17 > 0:18:20for soft furnishings, especially in a room of this size.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23It would just help just visually calm it all down.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Taking on Diana's brief for a colourful cosy cottage
0:18:27 > 0:18:30is 30-year-old ex-actor Jordan from London.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34In his heat he created an elegant design
0:18:34 > 0:18:37with a restrained grey colour scheme.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39This time the brief is to brighten up the room,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42so Jordan must prove he can work with bold colours.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Don't be frightened by the colour initially.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48We've got this fabric here.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- You said you didn't like chintzy things.- Not really, no.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I avoided that and went for a bigger floral
0:18:53 > 0:18:56which I think is going to be really bright and cheerful.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Yes. So what are these colours here?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02These are some of the colours that I've picked out from the fabric
0:19:02 > 0:19:04that are going to feature in areas within the room,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06but nothing too scary.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10It's going to be bright and cheerful and hopefully you'll love it.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I'll move this one and you can see
0:19:12 > 0:19:14the other one with a couple of my sketches.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- You've got a rocking chair that's going to be coming in.- OK.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21It's going to be a nice place to sit and read by the fire hopefully.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24I just don't want the fabric to overwhelm the room, that's all.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28The only pattern that's going to be coming in is on the curtains.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30There's quite a lot of curtains, though, isn't there?
0:19:30 > 0:19:34There is. But the room can... I think it's going to work well.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36I think it can take...
0:19:36 > 0:19:39It's the colour and the cheerfulness that I wanted to bring in.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Hopefully it's going to be a room that you're going to come into
0:19:41 > 0:19:44and smile and enjoy spending time in. Not too scary?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Well, no, not too scary, no.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49I really love the way he's bringing a contemporary
0:19:49 > 0:19:52new look into Diana and Steve's home.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57This is a daring scheme and either this is going to be massively
0:19:57 > 0:20:01successful or, "Oh, no. This is a total disaster."
0:20:01 > 0:20:04There's nothing in-between on this project.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07After clearing the room,
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Jordan wastes no time in splashing on some bright tones.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14A lamp I picked up in an antiques market.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17I gave it a quick undercoat which has now gone off
0:20:17 > 0:20:20and I'm giving it a top coat of this lovely mustard yellow,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22which is the same colour as Diana's favourite chair.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25With the shade on it, I think it's going to look really smart.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Ideally I would have sprayed it, because it's quite a tricky shape,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30but I couldn't get a spray that matched the colour
0:20:30 > 0:20:34I wanted for the room so...small brush and a lot of patience.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Work is now under way in all four of the rooms.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44The challenge for our designers will be to enhance
0:20:44 > 0:20:47what are already such beautifully designed homes.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Lord Milton's architect William Chambers made the designs
0:20:50 > 0:20:53as simple as he could so they could be put up by unskilled workers.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Even the residents of the old village themselves
0:20:56 > 0:20:59often using reclaimed materials from their newly demolished homes.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Chambers was best known for the neo-classical style
0:21:04 > 0:21:07but in fact he could turn his hand to anything.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10In the village he went for a more rustic look
0:21:10 > 0:21:13with brick chimneys which, set on both sides of the house,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15are typical of Georgian architecture.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Each cottage was then subdivided into four dwellings,
0:21:18 > 0:21:20two at the front and two at the back,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22so that up to 36 people, at any one time,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24could be living in each building.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Luckily modern day living means fewer people per cottage,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31giving the occupants more space.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35And it's this living space our designers are now updating.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38With only £1,000 the amateur designers have to be clever
0:21:38 > 0:21:42with how they spend their money, and for her modern woodland look,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Sarah's found ways to cut back.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47This is my internet auction sofa.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49It doesn't look great at the moment
0:21:49 > 0:21:53but it's going to be a fantastic contrast when it's finished, I hope.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56The sofa cost £170,
0:21:56 > 0:22:00and she's avoiding extra expense by doing the hard work herself.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03I've never upholstered a sofa before
0:22:03 > 0:22:06and all the cushions have already gone off to be re-upholstered
0:22:06 > 0:22:09so they are fantastic and going to be beautiful.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I'm hoping that I can do justice to this.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16I'm aware of the fact this is their family sofa,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18they're going to be sitting on it every day.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20It can't be an amateur effort,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22it has to be really substantial and really well done.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25It's looking great, I absolutely love it
0:22:25 > 0:22:27but I have got one little concern.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30I'm not sure it's Lars and I'm not sure it's Monique.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33This sort of patchwork look I don't think is theirs.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43A few doors down Jordan has concerns about his bold colour scheme.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47I was a little bit nervous. I mean, the fabric's quite bold.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50From her just seeing the mood board, it frightened her a little bit
0:22:50 > 0:22:53but, actually, once she sees the whole room she's going to love it.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56It's not the traditional chintz.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58It's a very bright, paintily floral
0:22:58 > 0:23:00and actually they're really on trend right now,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02this is the new way with floral.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05So she's going to have the trendiest house in the whole of Milton Abbas.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07She's going to be the envy of all the neighbours.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09There's no reason you get to a certain age
0:23:09 > 0:23:13that you can't enjoy pattern and colour and go for something bold.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15It's all about the fabrics really in that room,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18he's keeping it very plain and neutral.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22The only slight nag is this is a very big leap for Diana
0:23:22 > 0:23:26to take on board, it's going to look incredibly different in there.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31With his rustic period design in mind,
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Johnny's starting with a traditional coloured paint.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38John and Peggy like natural heritage colour
0:23:38 > 0:23:42so I decided to go for this "starling's egg",
0:23:42 > 0:23:48which is like a pale blue, lighter than the duck egg blue,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50which I felt would have been a bit too cold.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53He's doing well to stay constrained because, you know,
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Johnny's rock'n'roll, not Milton Abbas.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Before she can start on her autumnal colour scheme,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07there's a practical problem for Charmaine.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I thought, "How are we going to build around this?"
0:24:09 > 0:24:11What we'll do is come here
0:24:11 > 0:24:16and we'll incorporate our radiator cover into the end of the cupboard.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20It's still usable space. We'll have to space it into the corner.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22I had to change the design a little bit
0:24:22 > 0:24:24but it's going to look great, actually,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28that it's going to wrap around and cover the heater
0:24:28 > 0:24:30and incorporate it into the window seat.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36She has got such an ambitious project.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Acres of bespoke shelving and cupboards.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44I'm just concerned she may have bitten off more than she can chew.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Day one is drawing to a close for our quarterfinalists.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Smooth sailing.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Which I don't know is a good thing or a bad thing at this stage.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59But, yes, I'm still confident.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04But, for Sarah, the night is still young.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Slightly unconventional, sewing in the dark.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I'd really love to get this finished today,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11it'd be a great thing to check off the list
0:25:11 > 0:25:13and then tomorrow we can really get stuck into all the furniture
0:25:13 > 0:25:15and get the pattern on the walls.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27It's day two, and after winning one heat already
0:25:27 > 0:25:30our designers are now competing for a place in the semifinals,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33but only two can go through.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36With so much to play for,
0:25:36 > 0:25:38the designers have really got to step up a gear
0:25:38 > 0:25:41to deliver their briefs to their homeowners.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46To bring textures to Charmaine's autumnal colour scheme
0:25:46 > 0:25:48she's putting up some blinds.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51But unfortunately her client gave her the wrong measurements.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- This is the one that came. - Oh, I'm sorry!
0:25:54 > 0:25:57No, no. Don't worry about it, I'm going to fix it.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59I'm going to fix it.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02I'm either going to make a new one or I'm going to do something very
0:26:02 > 0:26:04special with this one, I haven't quite decided yet.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07This is actually in very good nick and it's the perfect size.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09It's a blackout also,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12so I'm just sort of having a bit of a tinker around with those
0:26:12 > 0:26:16and I'll figure something out. Don't worry about it, I can fix it.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- OK.- Situations like this,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21it's important to be adaptable and flexible.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24I'm going to get my A game on and I'm going to get sewing
0:26:24 > 0:26:28and get crafting and make sure everything looks beautiful.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32And I've just noticed a crack in the wall! It wasn't there yesterday.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Oh, my God! The plaster's falling off!
0:26:35 > 0:26:38So, yeah, A game on. It's on.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Having finished reupholstering her sofa, Sarah turns her attention
0:26:43 > 0:26:46to the more modern elements of her woodland theme.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I'm really worried about the lighting.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Lars and Monique had their pendant light swinging off.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54They have a clip in the ceiling and I thought about doing the same thing
0:26:54 > 0:26:58but I'm worried that it's just not going to look lovely enough.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01I've got three flexes and I'm going to wind them round...
0:27:01 > 0:27:03it's actually a wreath frame,
0:27:03 > 0:27:05that you buy when you're making a Christmas wreath.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07A copper frame, basically.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10and the weight is going to be self-supporting.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12It's level, when it's dressed it's going to look lovely.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I've got some birds to go into it.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17I think I'm going to be pleased with it when it's done.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19This isn't the only light.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21They could always knock this one off and use another light.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25- What's your plan with that?- Well, I've actually, I've bought a twig...
0:27:25 > 0:27:28well, quite a substantial bit of silver birch down.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- This one here?- Yeah.- Oh, my goodness. It's quite amazing
0:27:32 > 0:27:34And how will you light it?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36I have another one of these flexes that literally has
0:27:36 > 0:27:39a plug on the end, and a bulb.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- And it's just one bulb hanging off this?- It is.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Sarah's a designer who has lots and lots of creative ideas.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51Some super ideas but I just wonder if we're going one idea too far.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54It's really got a lot of algae and dirt on it basically,
0:27:54 > 0:27:56so I've borrowed Lars' jet washer.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00I've never used one before so I'm going in.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06While Sarah cleans up the bark on her lamp stand...
0:28:07 > 0:28:10..further down the road Jordan's working hard
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- to prove he knows how to play with colour.- What's going on here?
0:28:13 > 0:28:16I'm just doing a dip dye effect on the lampshades
0:28:16 > 0:28:18for the wall lights behind.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21It's just water and a concentrated watercolour.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23It's not an ink then,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25it's a watercolour paint that you get from an artist's shop?
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Yep, absolutely. Fingers crossed.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Just hold it in there for a couple of seconds.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32And then the dry fabric is soaking up.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36That's it, and it'll actually climb up a little bit as well.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Jordan's got the potential to pull off quite a daring colour scheme.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42I mean, he's really giving this country cottage look
0:28:42 > 0:28:45a very contemporary twist.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46But is it too daring?
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Keeping to his homeowners' rustic brief,
0:28:52 > 0:28:56Johnny's using natural wood to cover the modern radiator.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Can't wait to see the shelving now!
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Having moderated his style so far,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05he's keen to release some creative flair
0:29:05 > 0:29:07on the leftover wood in the garden.
0:29:07 > 0:29:12Just sizing up the two side legs for the standard lamp.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15So this is the main piece, these are the two side bits.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18I think it'll look nice.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26What's bringing the room together is using this local sourced wood,
0:29:26 > 0:29:29that's giving the room the character.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32This is really going to tie the room into the rustic,
0:29:32 > 0:29:34traditional country house feel.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Hopefully that vision I have of the room, it'll come together.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41I know Johnny loves modernism
0:29:41 > 0:29:46but he's really showing that he's able to be an adaptable designer.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54Our amateurs are working hard on the insides of these idyllic cottages.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57That would look really funny on there, wouldn't it?
0:29:58 > 0:30:01But 240 years ago it wasn't just the buildings
0:30:01 > 0:30:04that Lord Milton was keen to redesign.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07This may look like the green and pleasant land of Britain
0:30:07 > 0:30:10but it's not as natural as it appears.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12In the 1700s landscaping was all the rage
0:30:12 > 0:30:14and one name stood above the rest,
0:30:14 > 0:30:18the most prolific name in design, Lancelot "Capability" Brown,
0:30:18 > 0:30:22so called because of his dictum that any land was capable of improvement.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Brown was renowned for his determined attitude,
0:30:27 > 0:30:29shown here by his agreement with Lord Milton than the old
0:30:29 > 0:30:32village should be demolished. It may have been controversial
0:30:32 > 0:30:36but over time the residents did benefit and now Brown's work
0:30:36 > 0:30:39here in Dorset is considered among his best in the whole country.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49The designers are just halfway through their three-day challenge
0:30:49 > 0:30:53and for Sarah it's time to bring out her secret weapon.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57In the first round I used this roller to put a very lovely pattern,
0:30:57 > 0:31:00cow parsley seed heads, and that was on one wall in grey.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02There was a grey wall with some white on it.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04This time I'm doing the reverse.
0:31:04 > 0:31:09It's going to show up a lot more using a dark paint on the distemper.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Keeping a steady hand is crucial for making the pattern knit together.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18That looks great, doesn't it? I'm glad you're doing it, not me.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22I think if you seek perfection when you're doing this, you will fail.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24In general if it's going off course,
0:31:24 > 0:31:27it's just the way it is, you know. I try my hardest.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30I'm a bit concerned that it looks like wrapping paper,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32it's standing out quite a lot, it's quite bold.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34You come in, your eyes are drawn to it
0:31:34 > 0:31:36and it does look a bit Christmassy.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38I think it probably needs to dry a bit.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40SHE SIGHS
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Jordan's curtains are back from the seamstress.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- I mean, what the hell? - But there's a problem.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50I'm holding it underneath the window.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54It's going to be about there. And then that one is just ginormous!
0:31:56 > 0:31:58That's for the door.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06The curtains appear to have been made short,
0:32:06 > 0:32:09which could be disastrous.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15I don't know what else to say, dun dun dun!
0:32:22 > 0:32:25After struggling to finish his room in the last round, Johnny must
0:32:25 > 0:32:30show the judges that he's capable of managing this project to time.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Wow, Johnny. You've moved on.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34Slightly, slightly.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- No, not slightly, a lot! This is fantastic.- Thank you.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41We've got a sort of joinery fiesta going on there on the other
0:32:41 > 0:32:43side of this room, haven't we?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Please don't mention that! It's not finished yet.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48It's not finished yet, it looks like a giraffe at the moment.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51There's not many giraffes around here so I doubt it's indigenous.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53I'm guessing it's a lamp stand, right?
0:32:53 > 0:32:57- And you've taken quite a modern inspiration.- I have.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- And is it working for you? - Kind of.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02You're not really happy with it.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04- No, I'm not really. - Maybe it's too much?
0:33:04 > 0:33:08There's the fireplace there so maybe that will go into the fire.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11THEY LAUGH
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- So there's a use to it! - It has a use, yes!
0:33:16 > 0:33:20Further up the road, using just a small slice of her budget,
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Charmaine's paid £20 for a piece of foam to create
0:33:23 > 0:33:25a window seat cushion.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26Voila!
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Perfect!
0:33:33 > 0:33:37No. Hang on, no, it's not perfect.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Put it in place, and although I measured it,
0:33:41 > 0:33:47it's actually a little bit too short. It'll work, it'll work.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48I'm a designer, I can do this.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54This British tweed style fabric has taken just £100
0:33:54 > 0:33:56out of her £1,000 budget.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00I see you've chosen this wool plaid and wool fabrics are a great
0:34:00 > 0:34:03way of getting some rustic texture and some warmth into a scheme.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Absolutely. Corrine talked a lot about autumnal colours
0:34:05 > 0:34:07and she actually mentioned that she liked tartan
0:34:07 > 0:34:10so I definitely wanted to throw a bit of that in there
0:34:10 > 0:34:12and, like I said, yes, some authentic tartan.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Good, excellent.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16It's probably the only bit of sewing that I'm going to be doing
0:34:16 > 0:34:21this time round because the biggest part is the built-in storage.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Charmaine's showing herself to be a great project manager,
0:34:24 > 0:34:28she's had that enormous bit of bespoke fitted storage design and build.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30There's also a look that we're looking for.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34She's going to have to pull it together on all the accessorising
0:34:34 > 0:34:37the cushions and the finishes, I'm still not quite sure.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40So that's the final bit I've just stitched on there,
0:34:40 > 0:34:46I'm going to turn it inside out now, and try and fit my cushion in.
0:34:55 > 0:34:56What a nightmare!
0:35:06 > 0:35:07Much better.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Our amateurs have until lunchtime tomorrow to get their designs
0:35:14 > 0:35:17for these traditional living rooms looking just right.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20But when this model village was built,
0:35:20 > 0:35:24the focus was on outside aesthetics, demanding precise planning.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Each cottage is built on a very generous plot of land,
0:35:28 > 0:35:30so out the front there's a lovely lawn
0:35:30 > 0:35:32and originally, at the rear, there would have been space
0:35:32 > 0:35:35for an allotment and somewhere to keep your chickens, and your pigs.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Each cottage has a thatched roof which keeps it cosy in winter
0:35:38 > 0:35:41and cool in summer but of course it's highly flammable.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43So to counter this, they placed the cottages far apart
0:35:43 > 0:35:46and in-between, brown planted chestnut trees,
0:35:46 > 0:35:49living would be far less flammable than deadwood.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54There are several wells in the village fed from a local spring,
0:35:54 > 0:35:56reducing the need to travel for water.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00And the entire village is built on a gradient, so all the drainage
0:36:00 > 0:36:04flows that way, making the air generally more pleasant.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08It's late afternoon of day two
0:36:08 > 0:36:11and Sarah's unhappy with her wall design.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13I really want to cover up some of these darker lines
0:36:13 > 0:36:15that are really jumping out,
0:36:15 > 0:36:18so I'm just getting a little bit of wet paint on this one. Well,
0:36:18 > 0:36:22at this rate I'm thinking it's best to re-paint it all and re-do it.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25- It won't take me long to paint it. - Just paint it.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28I think it'll look bad if it's a bad fix. I might as well be bold
0:36:28 > 0:36:30and start again and just clear it up.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33I think we know what we need to do.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38I was really hoping to get the curtains up this evening.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41They've just been jetted off to somebody who's kindly offered
0:36:41 > 0:36:44to try and repair them for us, and hopefully they're going to be
0:36:44 > 0:36:47back tomorrow ready to hang in the morning.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51Tomorrow, all I really want to do now is bring the furniture back in,
0:36:51 > 0:36:56put some throws over the sofa, and actually sit down on the sofa
0:36:56 > 0:36:59and have a look where I am, with a cup of tea.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Just up the road, uneven walls are causing
0:37:03 > 0:37:05problems for Charmaine's unit.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11It's not a problem, you just need to stick a leg on.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14I'm panicking now.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16I'll be devastated if things aren't finished tomorrow but I'm not
0:37:16 > 0:37:20even thinking about that because they will be finished tomorrow.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21We can do it.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36So time is nearly up for our designers.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Today the homeowners will see their rooms
0:37:39 > 0:37:41and what they think of them will help the judges decide
0:37:41 > 0:37:44who goes through to the next stage of the competition.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54After being unhappy with her paint roller effect yesterday,
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Sarah's aiming for more subtle results.
0:37:57 > 0:37:58That's my new colour.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03Just a few hours before the deadline this is her last attempt
0:38:03 > 0:38:05to get it right.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09That's definitely putting it in the background, isn't it?
0:38:09 > 0:38:12The wall is looking better, I think the colour looks great.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14It looks like it might have been here 100 years,
0:38:14 > 0:38:16not painted today so that's really good.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Little woodland accent going on in the background
0:38:19 > 0:38:21rather than a full forest.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29That's all right, isn't it?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31We can call it a day. I'm on schedule,
0:38:31 > 0:38:33definitely ahead of time and not pushed for anything, so that's
0:38:33 > 0:38:37a bit worrying because I'm thinking perhaps I'm not doing enough.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44A few doors down there's been a delivery.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Curtains are back from the emergency seamstress
0:38:47 > 0:38:49and I'm about to open them and check if they're right.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Look at that, aren't they groovy?
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Absolutely wonderful, it's brilliant, I couldn't be happier.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Panic over and all systems go.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Keen to prove he can be brave with colour,
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Jordan's painting the rocking chair.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Although on its own it may seem like quite a pop of colour,
0:39:12 > 0:39:15once it's sitting against the fireplace with the brick wall,
0:39:15 > 0:39:19I think the contrast of that is really going to stand out beautifully.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24To bring his natural scheme together
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Johnny's using some rustic-looking fabric.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29I'm trying to get the extension
0:39:29 > 0:39:33but the extension won't plug in the wall!
0:39:33 > 0:39:34I'm going to do a little...
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Well, it's the first time I've attempted it actually.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39I've got some fabric left over from the curtains
0:39:39 > 0:39:42and I'm going to glue it to the interior of the lamp,
0:39:42 > 0:39:45hopefully it'll give it its own uniqueness.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47I don't know, the room does look a bit bare
0:39:47 > 0:39:50but I don't want to overcrowd this quaint little
0:39:50 > 0:39:54cottage, you know? I don't want to put too much stuff in it.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Great little touch even if I say so myself.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04With work not going to plan there have been some changes to
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Charmaine's bespoke unit.
0:40:07 > 0:40:08I've run out of time
0:40:08 > 0:40:12and I'm not getting to build my shelving unit over the door.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16My main concern is obviously I want to get through
0:40:16 > 0:40:19but I really just want to do a good job for the homeowner.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Corrine really deserves it. I don't think it would affect
0:40:22 > 0:40:26the design much because I've still given her a lot of storage.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30Having spent a third of her budget on the sofa, she's
0:40:30 > 0:40:33struggling to find a home for it in the room.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Great start, it's not fitting.
0:40:36 > 0:40:37It fits in the room,
0:40:37 > 0:40:41it just doesn't fit INTO the room, which is a bit of a nuisance.
0:40:42 > 0:40:48I actually don't even know how much time I have left, which isn't great.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52It's quite heavy.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Our designers have had three days and £1,000
0:40:57 > 0:41:01to create front rooms fit for these thatched cottages.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05That looks beautiful, mate, you've done a lovely job of that.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10They have been working to different briefs,
0:41:10 > 0:41:13each presenting its own set of challenges.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16At this point, I can't help but wonder if any of the other
0:41:16 > 0:41:21designers are up a ladder weaving acorns into their light fitting.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24All four are racing to the finish and it's up to the judges to
0:41:24 > 0:41:27decide who will go through to the semifinals.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29I'm just stressing, Steve.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Yeah? No worries.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Dressing or stressing?
0:41:34 > 0:41:36I think it's looking super,
0:41:36 > 0:41:42I love the final result and I just hope Diana does too.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46I'm done.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47That's it, we're done.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57First to be judged is Johnny who had to prove
0:41:57 > 0:42:01he could pull a whole room together with his rustic, cottagey design.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Three days ago it felt cramped,
0:42:04 > 0:42:08with traditional features battling the modern additions.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Now, the room feels more airy,
0:42:24 > 0:42:26with a natural wood radiator cover,
0:42:26 > 0:42:28a set of handmade laddered shelves,
0:42:28 > 0:42:32and a bespoke lamp creating soft lighting throughout the room.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Showing he can work in keeping with period properties,
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Johnny has used heritage pattern prints for his curtains,
0:42:41 > 0:42:44repeating the theme across his design.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52That's a transformation, isn't it?
0:42:52 > 0:42:55It's more than that, it's just lovely.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58He's been really sensitive to the period of the house,
0:42:58 > 0:43:01their love of all the natural materials.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03He hasn't put himself in here,
0:43:03 > 0:43:05and yet he has given them an updated look.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08And I even like the radiator cover.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10It's really cool.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13Look at it, this is this green oak,
0:43:13 > 0:43:16so you've got that lovely softness to it.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18- He's known to keep the rustic edges. - Exactly. And I think this is
0:43:18 > 0:43:21what's happening here as well with the laddered shelving.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24They've actually made it look like it's got little pegs,
0:43:24 > 0:43:27- it's been pegged together.- My sort of overall feeling, actually,
0:43:27 > 0:43:29looking around the room, it's all very pleasing,
0:43:29 > 0:43:33but it has lost, for me, an element of that lovely, snug, cosy feeling
0:43:33 > 0:43:35that Peggy and John had created.
0:43:35 > 0:43:39It does feel quite cool in here, and I wonder whether he's taken it
0:43:39 > 0:43:42a little bit too far, stripped a bit too much out of this room.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46How well each designer fulfils the brief
0:43:46 > 0:43:49is crucial to the judge's decision.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52Homeowners John and Peggy will now see the completed room
0:43:52 > 0:43:53for the first time.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55So?
0:43:55 > 0:43:56Wonderful!
0:43:56 > 0:43:58This is restful.
0:43:58 > 0:44:02You keep looking around and you keep seeing something different.
0:44:02 > 0:44:06I just never expected it to turn out like that.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08And then, this you see...
0:44:08 > 0:44:13I really do like the cover, it becomes a kind of feature,
0:44:13 > 0:44:17- a piece of furniture, not a horrible old radiator.- It is!
0:44:20 > 0:44:24Next up, and wanting to show her versatility, is Sarah,
0:44:24 > 0:44:27who designed a woodland theme with modern touches.
0:44:30 > 0:44:33Before, this was a plain, uninspiring living room.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47Now, it's been completely transformed,
0:44:47 > 0:44:49with natural colours and fabrics,
0:44:49 > 0:44:51items from the garden,
0:44:51 > 0:44:53and home-made woodland creatures.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56She's added a new set of curtains,
0:44:56 > 0:44:58a large rug, and a cleverly designed tray
0:44:58 > 0:45:03to store children's toys, which rolls under the sofa.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06To give the room a more modern edge, Sarah has introduced
0:45:06 > 0:45:08designer light bulbs and more contemporary furniture,
0:45:08 > 0:45:12including a coffee table and a re-upholstered 1960s sofa.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17Oh, wow.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23- Look at the little birds.- Gosh. - The first thing I spotted.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25This has worked very successfully.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28First time round she recognised that it was too strong
0:45:28 > 0:45:31and so she went to the trouble of painting it all out and doing it
0:45:31 > 0:45:35again in a very subtle effect and I think that's lovely
0:45:35 > 0:45:38and I think that was important in this room, that it doesn't
0:45:38 > 0:45:42become too cluttered visually, that it still feels clean and simple.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44For me, I think this is ingenious
0:45:44 > 0:45:48and it's an idea that, frankly, I'm going to steal.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51Putting all the toys underneath the sofa is a great idea.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55I think it's really fun and there's humour and thought in it.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57I'm not sure how relaxing these lights are.
0:45:57 > 0:45:58Yeah, they're a bit harsh.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01I think what we need in here is a dimmer switch, that simple.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04It's a very practical lighting, though, and I just love the idea
0:46:04 > 0:46:06of the branch, I mean, how ingenious.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09Sarah's certainly brought the outside in.
0:46:09 > 0:46:11Really depends if Lars and Monique like it.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14If they don't like it, this is not a winning design.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24- Oh, wow.- Wow.
0:46:24 > 0:46:25Oh, my goodness.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28- What do you think? - Very good.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30It's amazing! Beautiful.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33It's really light, isn't it?
0:46:33 > 0:46:35Has she managed to square the circle between a cosy room
0:46:35 > 0:46:36but also a modern room?
0:46:36 > 0:46:39I think so, yeah, it's very modern, isn't it?
0:46:39 > 0:46:42I like the way she takes old things and puts them together
0:46:42 > 0:46:45and makes it look new. It's my kind of style, I like that.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47Brilliant. And a little tray for Viggo.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49Looks like Norway to me, I can see that.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52Denmark there as well, I think. What do you think of the light?
0:46:52 > 0:46:55- I love the light.- And I love the wall, with the stencil.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57Yes, you can just see it.
0:46:57 > 0:47:02The pattern there is great but maybe just that little bit too...
0:47:02 > 0:47:04- Too subtle? - Too subtle, exactly.
0:47:04 > 0:47:08I actually like it subtle, I wouldn't want it to be overpowering.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10There you go, she wouldn't have pleased both of you.
0:47:10 > 0:47:12No, you can never please both of us.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18Next, Charmaine's design for a country cottage look
0:47:18 > 0:47:19with autumnal colours.
0:47:23 > 0:47:26Three days ago it had the feel of a holiday cottage,
0:47:26 > 0:47:28lacking warmth and seating space.
0:47:40 > 0:47:43She's now transformed the room with a large bespoke unit
0:47:43 > 0:47:45with designer touches.
0:47:47 > 0:47:51And a comfortable L-shaped sofa bringing the whole family together.
0:47:54 > 0:47:57She's dressed the windows with a natural tweed fabric
0:47:57 > 0:48:00and created a new window seat with tartan material,
0:48:00 > 0:48:05all in autumnal shades - giving a cosy warm feel to the room.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10- I think that's very nice. - It's lovely.
0:48:10 > 0:48:14Yeah, I mean, that was a really ambitious part of the brief,
0:48:14 > 0:48:19to build this bespoke unit and I think this is a lovely idea,
0:48:19 > 0:48:21putting wallpaper in the back, so rather than it just being
0:48:21 > 0:48:25painted white, she's adding a little bit of texture and interest that
0:48:25 > 0:48:29makes it feel a bit older and also links in with the cushion fabrics.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32I like what she's done with the window seat,
0:48:32 > 0:48:33because it was a little bit narrow.
0:48:33 > 0:48:37You actually now could sit in that sidewards and read
0:48:37 > 0:48:40- and look out the window.- The other thing that's jumping out for me
0:48:40 > 0:48:44is how this room very much looks as it was presented at the beginning.
0:48:44 > 0:48:48She did her board, she did her plan,
0:48:48 > 0:48:52and you very much see the journey from inception to presentation
0:48:52 > 0:48:55to the result, and I think that's very professional.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03- So, welcome to your new cosy look. - Wow.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08Oh, it's beautiful, I love the sofa, this is gorgeous.
0:49:08 > 0:49:13What I like is the fact that now we can all sit together on the sofa
0:49:13 > 0:49:14without fighting.
0:49:14 > 0:49:18We had plenty of seats before but for some reason it didn't work.
0:49:18 > 0:49:21And say goodbye to your shelving unit on the side of the windows,
0:49:21 > 0:49:23you've got a whole new bespoke made one here.
0:49:23 > 0:49:28Yes this is...wow...it works so well with the wallpaper. Brilliant.
0:49:32 > 0:49:36Finally, it's Jordan's colourful cosy cottage design.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42Before, it was overcrowded, with a lot of dark furniture.
0:49:55 > 0:49:59It's now a less cluttered room with an eye-catching scheme.
0:50:00 > 0:50:02Keen to prove he could work with colour,
0:50:02 > 0:50:05Jordan has dressed the room with bold floral curtains,
0:50:05 > 0:50:09bright lampshades, a bright pink rocking chair,
0:50:09 > 0:50:11and other personal touches.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19He's also added a bespoke radiator cover,
0:50:19 > 0:50:20and removed the carpet,
0:50:20 > 0:50:22revealing the wooden floor beneath.
0:50:25 > 0:50:27Oof!
0:50:27 > 0:50:29HE LAUGHS
0:50:29 > 0:50:32- Gosh, it looks so different, doesn't it?- Oh, it's such a happy room.
0:50:32 > 0:50:35What an interpretation of the country, great fun.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37I think the layout is the first thing that hits me.
0:50:37 > 0:50:42Do you remember that room? You could hardly move for chairs and furniture.
0:50:42 > 0:50:45This is great, she can move around with ease.
0:50:45 > 0:50:46And on the brief she wanted
0:50:46 > 0:50:49a striking new treatment for her windows.
0:50:49 > 0:50:51But he's used the colours in the fabric throughout
0:50:51 > 0:50:54all the other soft furnishings and finishings which really brings
0:50:54 > 0:50:57the room together, and I think that's actually quite a difficult thing
0:50:57 > 0:51:00to do when you're using quite a lot of different colours together.
0:51:00 > 0:51:02The big pink element...
0:51:02 > 0:51:05- What do you think of the pink chair? - I love it.
0:51:05 > 0:51:09I quite love it because it's a pop of colour against the blue floor.
0:51:09 > 0:51:12We've always believed along the way he had to really go for it.
0:51:12 > 0:51:16You can't do this kind of look halfway, it'll just look half-baked.
0:51:16 > 0:51:19Yep, it would have looked dreadful. And he's gone all the way,
0:51:19 > 0:51:23but I do wonder if he's gone a little bit too far.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26We have these curtains, they look great, but he's washed down the look
0:51:26 > 0:51:30a little bit by actually having too much of the fabric
0:51:30 > 0:51:35and I think this curtain should have just picked out one of the colours
0:51:35 > 0:51:39from the rest of the room and then let those sing and this keep quiet.
0:51:43 > 0:51:47Oh, wow! That's terrific, isn't it?
0:51:47 > 0:51:49Wow, look at that!
0:51:49 > 0:51:52- Well, you can't miss it! - That's true!
0:51:52 > 0:51:55Absolutely true, yes.
0:51:55 > 0:51:56That really works, doesn't it?
0:51:56 > 0:51:58The boy's a genius.
0:52:00 > 0:52:02Well, you wanted a sort of statement window.
0:52:02 > 0:52:05It is a statement, yes. That's terrific.
0:52:05 > 0:52:07So, I'm getting positive vibes from you two.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09- Yes.- Very much so. - Yes, I think it's lovely.
0:52:09 > 0:52:11Cos it is a very big statement
0:52:11 > 0:52:13and I guess you're either going to like it or you're not.
0:52:13 > 0:52:15- It is.- Yes, it is, it's a terrific change.
0:52:15 > 0:52:19I think it's rather nice having it all turned round.
0:52:19 > 0:52:22Yes, I'll probably get used to a pink rocking chair, yes.
0:52:22 > 0:52:26I love the cushions so I think what it loses on the rocking chair,
0:52:26 > 0:52:27it gets back on the cushions.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30THEY LAUGH
0:52:32 > 0:52:38Now the designers can only wait to find out which two will go through.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41If I go through and I go through all of this again, that's great.
0:52:41 > 0:52:46I'm taking every day as it comes and loving what I'm doing, so we'll see.
0:52:46 > 0:52:50It means a lot to me to go through, because I want a career in interiors,
0:52:50 > 0:52:55it's something that comes natural - I'm creative.
0:52:55 > 0:52:59I've given it my all, you know, I've put my heart and my soul into it
0:52:59 > 0:53:02and it means the world to me to win this competition.
0:53:04 > 0:53:06I'd love to be in the semifinal
0:53:06 > 0:53:08and I'd love to be in the final,
0:53:08 > 0:53:11I've got to be honest. I always came into this as a competition
0:53:11 > 0:53:13and I want to go all the way.
0:53:16 > 0:53:18So, judges, you wanted the designers to up their game
0:53:18 > 0:53:20for this quarterfinal. Have they delivered?
0:53:20 > 0:53:23Oh, yes, and haven't they delivered wonderfully?
0:53:23 > 0:53:27It's very exciting, but it's going to make our decision very difficult.
0:53:27 > 0:53:32So, Lars and Monique wanted something that was rustic but modern, bright but cosy.
0:53:32 > 0:53:33Did Sarah deliver?
0:53:33 > 0:53:36She put in oodles of creativity,
0:53:36 > 0:53:41she shows that she's got boundless resource of ideas
0:53:41 > 0:53:43and that's lovely to see in a designer.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46My concern, though, was that were we getting
0:53:46 > 0:53:50a repetition of the style that we saw last time.
0:53:50 > 0:53:51Has she been versatile?
0:53:51 > 0:53:55Has she been able to address this brief in a slightly different way
0:53:55 > 0:53:57than she addressed the previous brief?
0:53:57 > 0:54:01How did Johnny translate in rustic, rural England?
0:54:01 > 0:54:03We know this is clearly out of his comfort zone.
0:54:03 > 0:54:07He needed to up his game a lot, and he has.
0:54:07 > 0:54:09He got that project done
0:54:09 > 0:54:10and he got it within budget.
0:54:10 > 0:54:14For me, where it maybe fell down a little bit is it was so cute
0:54:14 > 0:54:17and cosy and magical in there, even though it was a bit mad
0:54:17 > 0:54:21and cluttered and I just question maybe through his choice of colour
0:54:21 > 0:54:23whether he hadn't managed to make it quite as cosy,
0:54:23 > 0:54:26considering it was a room they want to enjoy in the evening as well.
0:54:26 > 0:54:28So did Charmaine fulfil her brief?
0:54:28 > 0:54:32Completely and she had a lot to fulfil and she did it all,
0:54:32 > 0:54:34and did it with such style as well.
0:54:34 > 0:54:37I thought she did incredibly well. I mean, she gave them
0:54:37 > 0:54:40a really large piece of bespoke storage,
0:54:40 > 0:54:43but I was really looking to see a little bit more from Charmaine
0:54:43 > 0:54:45from the first heat.
0:54:45 > 0:54:48Just to show that she has got some creativity, she can put an original
0:54:48 > 0:54:52twist on something and, for me, it probably fell down in that respect.
0:54:52 > 0:54:56Jordan. Diana wanted a cheerful room and she got a cheerful room.
0:54:56 > 0:54:59She certainly did and, personally, it put a big smile on my face,
0:54:59 > 0:55:02to see a designer be brave with colour.
0:55:02 > 0:55:07Where he went too far was when he put the extra curtain
0:55:07 > 0:55:10on the other wall and I thought that was a bit too much.
0:55:10 > 0:55:13I didn't want him to restrain, I just wanted for him to actually
0:55:13 > 0:55:17show that he really understands how to handle colour and pattern.
0:55:17 > 0:55:20He's got almost there, but not 100% for me.
0:55:20 > 0:55:23So, judges, four strong contenders in the quarters,
0:55:23 > 0:55:26but only two are going to go through to the semis.
0:55:34 > 0:55:37Hello, designers! Now, some might have been over-awed
0:55:37 > 0:55:39by this incredible chocolate-box setting
0:55:39 > 0:55:42but, you four, you rose to the occasion.
0:55:42 > 0:55:46You certainly did and it's also very clear that you took on board
0:55:46 > 0:55:50what we advised to you last time and have moved up a step.
0:55:50 > 0:55:53And, for me, I've just particularly loved seeing
0:55:53 > 0:55:56all your new and innovative ideas.
0:55:56 > 0:55:59But two of you rose beyond,
0:55:59 > 0:56:02and the two designers going through are...
0:56:06 > 0:56:07..Jordan...
0:56:09 > 0:56:10..and Sarah.
0:56:10 > 0:56:11Oh, God!
0:56:11 > 0:56:13Well done, all of you.
0:56:13 > 0:56:15- Guys!- Well done!
0:56:18 > 0:56:21I was really confident in my design, but I was really nervous
0:56:21 > 0:56:24that it wasn't going to be exactly what Diana was expecting,
0:56:24 > 0:56:27but I think, in the end, maybe that's what swung it for me.
0:56:27 > 0:56:28We really liked it.
0:56:28 > 0:56:30Oh, goodness, I'm so relieved!
0:56:30 > 0:56:33I didn't really think about things all the way through,
0:56:33 > 0:56:36just little bites of the cherry so I'm amazed I'm here
0:56:36 > 0:56:38and going forward.
0:56:38 > 0:56:40- Yeah, we love it. - Yeah, it's really nice.
0:56:40 > 0:56:43I'm not going to give up on interior design at all,
0:56:43 > 0:56:46it's my passion, it's my dream, I'm going to keep doing it.
0:56:46 > 0:56:49I'm sticking to my plan - world domination.
0:56:49 > 0:56:51- Do you like it?- It's beautiful!
0:56:51 > 0:56:54Oh! I'm so glad that you like it.
0:56:54 > 0:56:57If I'd got through to the semis, I'd have been proud of myself,
0:56:57 > 0:57:00but maybe I should be a bit proud. I've done all right, I think.
0:57:00 > 0:57:03- Did you like it?- Yeah.
0:57:03 > 0:57:05Well, Jordan took a lot of risk.
0:57:05 > 0:57:09He was very close to not coming through to the semifinal,
0:57:09 > 0:57:12but he pulled it off, he kept his client on board
0:57:12 > 0:57:15and did something that is really special and rather super.
0:57:16 > 0:57:21Sarah brings a very special magic to her designs,
0:57:21 > 0:57:23she really thinks in the detail.
0:57:23 > 0:57:27She's innovative, she's creative, there is no shortage of ideas.
0:57:27 > 0:57:30So when I'm looking to put a designer through to the next round,
0:57:30 > 0:57:32I'm confident with Sarah that she'll come up
0:57:32 > 0:57:34with more new and interesting ideas.
0:57:34 > 0:57:38Going forward into the semifinal, I want to see adaptability,
0:57:38 > 0:57:41I don't want them to be sticking to the same style,
0:57:41 > 0:57:43but actually addressing the problems,
0:57:43 > 0:57:47addressing the architecture and the people that live in these houses.
0:57:47 > 0:57:49This is getting a very exciting competition.
0:57:52 > 0:57:55These cottages were conceived to please a rich landowner's
0:57:55 > 0:57:58sense of aesthetics, designed by people hoping to create
0:57:58 > 0:58:00the perfect image of the English countryside.
0:58:00 > 0:58:04On the outside, they're still chocolate-box perfect,
0:58:04 > 0:58:08but they're just as idyllic on the inside too thanks to our designers.
0:58:08 > 0:58:12Modern and yet rustic, they'll be enjoyed by generations to come.
0:58:14 > 0:58:17Next time, the quarterfinals get brutal...
0:58:17 > 0:58:18Every minute counts on this one.
0:58:18 > 0:58:20Has she not learnt anything?
0:58:20 > 0:58:23..as our designers take over a 1950s tower block.
0:58:23 > 0:58:27I'm finding creativity level extremely high.
0:58:27 > 0:58:29The roller coaster continues.
