This card holds the power to change
someone's life for ever.

Eight ambitious designers
are heading into battle to win

The idea of someone saying
you don't need to worry

about your rent or your mortgage...
That's absolutely insane!

It's amazing. Mind-blowing.

Jeezo!

Through a series of epic
challenges...

Your next challenge is bathrooms...

Kitchens... Bedrooms...

This is where the competition
starts.

They will build their dream home
room by room.

Oh! Oh, BLEEP.

Oh, my God!

Someone is spying.

What are you doing?

Oh, it's really heavy.

What is going on?

HE CHORTLES

Nothing escapes the watchful eye
of serious judge

and global superstar architect
Dara Huang.

Everything just needs to be perfect.

I'm not here to be nice, guys.

I'm here to find that next
big thing.

After each gruelling challenge,
their apartments will be sealed

and their fates revealed
in the dreaded lockout.

I still have nightmares
of this corridor!

If the lights go green,
they live to fight another week.

If the lights go red,

they have been locked out
of their apartments

and must leave the competition
for good.

The corridor is terrifying.

It's absolutely awful.

It's like the hotel from hell.

The key to THEIR future
is in THEIR hands.

You start doubting yourself
a little bit, you know?

I just don't want to go home.
I've so much more to give.

Only one will win a home of their
own.

It actually would change my life.
It's such an amazing opportunity.

I can't tell you how much
I want this flat.

Welcome to the Big Interiors Battle.

Winning my own property,
yeah, it's life-changing.

To win this apartment,
my life will change a lot, actually.

Look, I'm in it to win it.

For someone saying you don't need to
worry about your rent

or your mortgage, you'd have to be
dead from the hairline down

to not get excited about that.

Hello. Hello. Hi.

Welcome to Sheffield.
How are you all feeling?

Yeah, excited. Very much so.

This was formerly a cookery factory,

but now it's a block
of epic apartments...

Oh-ho-ho!

Selected from hundreds
of applicants,

these design enthusiasts will each
tackle their own apartment in a bid

to design and win their dream home.

Do you want to get inside and have
an explore? Absolutely. Yeah.

Oh, wow.

Oh. Oh, my goodness.

Each week, each designer
will transform one room.

Oh, my God.

Wow!

Will the metal beam work here?

It's very exciting.

Lots of potential here.

But only one will win the apartment
mortgage free.

Really eager to start.

It's an opportunity of a lifetime.

I cannot wait to design.

I dream of having my own home.

With so much at stake, to decide
who will stay and who will go,

we have recruited a world-class
judge...

..the award-winning architect
and superstar designer...

With a master's degree from Harvard,

architect Dara Huang designs
billionaire properties

all over the world.

I'm now designing hotels, retails
and homes from affordable

to billionaires all over the world.
I'm not here to be nice, guys.

I'm here to find that next
big thing.

Dara will decide who will win
and who will leave empty-handed.

I have never seen a prize like this.

Imagine winning your own dream home.

That is something that most people
spend a lifetime to achieve.

I need to be style agnostic.

This is not about
my personal tastes.

I will be judging them on how it all
functions and comes together

as a total vision.

What's the first challenge?

You guys all get to design
your dream bedrooms.

Ooh!

CONTESTANTS LAUGH

This is a very personal space,
so we get to see who you really are.

I'm going to be looking
for three things here.

One is the space around the bed.

Obviously, the headboard
is incredibly important.

The side tables, all the things
that happen around the magic space.

And second of all - lighting.

A bedroom is all about mood.

So how can you create that cosiness?

How can you make it very nice
and comfortable when you're trying

to wind down?

And then the third part is something
we probably have an issue with -

storage.

and it's not always about, like,
how you hide clothes.

It could be how you display personal
items

and just really make the space
functional and decorative as well.

I'm looking forward to moving in.
Oh, I like it.

In my hand, I have the keys
to your apartments.

When your time is up, your doors
will be locked and you will then

be judged based on how well
you have fit the design brief,

but also flaunted your own
creative style.

Hmm.

I have got the keys to someone's
future home in my hand as we speak.

Jordan.

I'm hoping to win it and I feel
like I will win it,

cos I've got the confidence
and the drive to sort of get through

and get to that destination.

Claire H.

The bedroom should be the most
thought about room

because you just spend hours
and hours in them.

Patrycja.

The biggest challenge of this
bedroom design,

um...

I don't know where to start
with it, to be honest.

I'm giving the designers four days
to turn around their dream bedrooms.

With a brand-new home on the line,

we need to test our designers
to the max.

The space needs to breathe who they
are. Will it have their USP?

I literally want to just walk
into their bedrooms

and be speechless.

Fresh out of uni,

Jordan has got big ambitions
for his bedroom design.

So I'm currently living
with my mum in Birmingham.

I'm taking part in this challenge

cos, obviously,
it's an excellent opportunity,

being able to live in your own
apartment that you designed.

So I haven't got to ask my mum
for permission to put black

on the walls and the ceilings.

I've not really checked
out the competition.

Come on, man, you know I ain't got
no worries!

Jordan's gone for the monochrome
palette in his urban, sleek bedroom

with white walls, floors and
oversized headboard

and a minimal black bed space/

He's using mirrors to bounce
the daylight

and a bespoke LED lighting system
for when the sun goes down.

I'm going to have the LED
surrounding the artwork.

So this is the channel that's
going to sit the LED lights in it.

You know, I'm going in it to win it.
I'm not here to lose.

I'm not going to back down
from a fight.

Um... Yeah.

I am literally like a child
at the best playground ever.

Having originally trained
as a solicitor,

Tara is now
a budding interior designer.

She rents in London with her two
daughters.

I live in rented accommodation.
I can't do anything.

I can't paint the walls the colours
I want them.

As a creative person, it is just...
Yeah, absolutely soul destroying.

Tara's romantic boudoir bedroom uses
rich, luxurious colours

for the walls and ceiling,
plus a floral feature wall.

She's designing her own
fitted wardrobe and vanity table

to complete the look.

So I'm just helping out the guys
making my built-in wardrobe

with a vanity unit in the middle and
LED backlit mirror in the centre.

I thought I had more space.

The vanity was going to be 800mm
wide

and I just don't know if that's
going to fit now.

For actor John from Glasgow,

creating a home involves bringing
all the drama of the theatre.

I'm ready for my close-up,
Mr De Mille!

LAUGHTER

The idea for this room was to sort
of create a slightly

sort of Georgian feel to the room,
and panelling is a great way

to do that. We're getting some
pieces of beading

and we're creating boxes.

It's a bit like a picture frame,
really.

I'm not a professional designer,

so there is still that feeling
of magic about it.

John's dream bedroom involves
panelling all four walls,

installing a fireplace

and furnishing with an array
of antiques,

including a four-poster bed.

I think the people that know me
and love me -

or don't love me
or don't like me -

know that my taste in interior
design

is not the run-of-the-mill taste
in interior design.

I like a sort of timeless
country-house elegance.

There's going to be a bit
of an overwhelming first impression.

When can we start?

Claire lives with her boyfriend
in Devon and has recently started

a business selling
her funky upcycled furniture.

I can totally see myself
living in this space.

Winning my own property,
yeah, it's life changing.

Claire's bedroom combines
muted colours

with an oversized palette-style
headboard

and monochrome feature wallpaper.

My bedroom design is based
on Japan-di style,

so a Japan-stroke-Scandi design,
which is very relaxing.

On the bedroom wall, I'm going
to be wallpapering it,

which is going on the back wall
where the headboard is for the bed.

So is this the...? That's...?
That's it. OK.

This is just a screenshot
of the pattern itself. Yeah.

It's quite a simple and easy pattern
to be able to match up.

So, no, I don't think there
should be an issue.

I can feel people are really,
like, working hard around me,

and I'm chilled. I'm putting
that down to the preparation

and the organisation of it all.

I feel confident.

I have totally moved in in my head.

I'm already sleeping in the bed.

But are Claire and the other
designers doing enough to beat

the lockout and remain
in the competition?

In Sheffield, it's day two
of the competition,

where eight design enthusiasts are
building their dream bedrooms.

Succeed and they will make it
through to next week.

Fail...

..and they will be locked out
of their apartment.

Imagine winning your own dream home.
This is such a life-changing prize.

And for the owners of the building,

Tim and Adam
from Capital and Centric,

this is a first for them, too.

This is a mad idea.

And I think, given the size
of the prize, this could easily

be one of the stupidest things
we've ever done in our business.

With buildings all over England,

they take unloved and derelict
spaces and transform them.

Their latest is Eyewitness Works
in Sheffield.

It's absolutely massive.

It's 97 homes, and we want to do
something really radical here.

We wanted to launch the development
with design at its heart.

So this is an amazing opportunity
for us, as well,

to find the best new talent
out there.

But it comes with a massive risk,
because we could easily end up

with eight absolutely appalling,
unsellable apartments.

The more I think about it,
the more nervous I get.

It's kind of a multi-million-pound
experiment, this, isn't it?

It could go disastrously wrong.

But we're going to put our faith in
these people

and we hope they pull it
out the bag.

The brick is beautiful. The rounded
edge on this one...

That's not something that you get
in new-builds these days.

Professional interior designer Jamie
rents in Cardiff

with husband Tom
and Humphrey the dog.

I'm taking part in this

because I really want to be able to
start setting down some roots.

Tom and I are hoping to start
the adoption process soon,

and we want to be able to give
a child some stability.

I really don't want to hide
these lovely curves

in the brick here.

So I thought shutters would be the
best alternative to have in here.

Jamie's Californian casual bedroom
involves lime-washing the walls,

adding classic window shutters,

and building one statement shelf to
run the entire length of the room.

Lime-wash paint is commonly used
as a finish

for traditional building materials,

but using it on interior walls
can add character.

When you apply lime-wash paint,

it's always going to create
a lot of texture

and little moments on the walls.

And when that light comes
in through the windows

in the morning, it's just going
to bounce all around these walls

and make it look amazing.

I've got a shelf running
the whole length of this room

underneath the windows
for decorative items,

kind of getting-ready space.

There's no hanging space,
there's no drawers.

I've chosen to take
all of that storage out.

That probably is a bit of a bold
decision.

Across the courtyard, 21-year-old
Polish-born Patrycja is studying

interior design and architecture.

But she's already got one
very clear and definitive passion.

The Brutalist movement.

Some people might perceive
it as ugly.

I don't think it's ugly at all.

It's my dream bedroom, which is why
I've designed it like that.

And now my dungarees is
falling apart.

Patrycja's Brutalist bedroom
combines concrete wallpaper

with a copper-rail storage system.

The main focal point is her
grey-and-black-painted headboard,

complete with bird-themed
light installation.

So I'm going to be working
on the bed today.

I have never made a bed before.

OK. Do I pick it up on the bottom?

Oh, my God. It's really heavy.

You've got it.

So this is one half of my headboard.

Half of it is going to be black,
and the other half is going

to be a grey colour,
to make a concrete effect,

and then in the middle,
I'm going to cut out a big hole

and then place a nice
lighting fixture.

If nothing else in the bedroom
is perfect,

I don't mind, as long as the bed is.

Oh, I forgot.

This should be black.

This should be black.

I'm not crying inside whatsoever.

While Patrycja muddles up the paint,

mural artist Claire N
is just getting started.

She began her business online

when one of her paintings
went viral,

leading to commission
after commission.

So, with murals,
it's a canvas for me.

It's not a wall.
I just create art

and there's a lot of feeling and a
lot of emotion in what I do.

Claire's jungle-spa-themed bedroom
is centred around her bespoke

hand-painted leafy mural.

She's gone for an adult-sized bunk
bed, maximizing storage space

and making room for
an inviting bathtub.

I would have liked to be a lot
further on at this point.

But it's OK. It's OK.

I can hear my mother in my head
shouting at me right now, going,

"You should have planned this!"

This is how I work.

Honey, I'm home!

Hello. Hello.

Now, this is the bed. Yes.
So climb up into the bunk

and then you get a good view
of the mural.

And, yeah, it's basically...
I would say a treehouse, almost.

That's what I'm going for.
So did you paint this yourself?

I did, yeah. Mm-hm.

It's amazing. Thank you.

Talk me through it. I started off
with a plan of having

this this one leaf
sort of everywhere.

And then I stood back,
and it was really naff.

I kind of like stalled for a minute
in the middle of the day

and was like, "Right, Claire,
find your energy."

How does it feel, knowing
that all of your hard work

could be in vain, because one
of you will be locked out?

I'm not going home.
I don't wanna go home.

I don't wanna. I don't wanna.

I'm focused. Good.

And on that focus,
I will leave you to it.

Down the corridor,

ex aerospace engineer Justine
is also hand-painting

a bespoke wall feature.

Done!

Currently renting in London,

Justine recently started
an interiors business which features

incredible optical illusions.

I put a lot of myself
into my design. For the lightings,

I'm using a task lighting
for the nightstands

and one general lighting
in top of the bed.

I'm a real competitor,

as I'm a boxer champion.

I'm here to win.
I'm not here to play.

Justine's colourful explosion
bedroom

features a rainbow ceiling design,
pendant lighting

and a clever bed-based storage hack.

So it's going to work
like a puzzle thing.

I will place the chest of drawers
all together

to form the frame of the bed, um,
for the base.

Oh, wow, Justine!

I love it.

It's so colourful.

I really like to use the ceiling
as, like, a fifth wall.

Play with the eye.

Essentially, we are lying
in bed, looking up.

We've got to take advantage
of that ceiling.

Oh... Do you know what?

I like it.

We're already in bed together,
Justine! Yeah!

THEY LAUGH

The designers are now halfway
through the challenge,

and some are further along
than others.

Claire! Hi. It feels very calm
in here.

What do you think?

I'm surprised, because we see you,
your funky hairdo,

and I'm thinking,

"Claire is going to give me a colour
explosion here, I can see it."

And then it's all Zen and calm,
isn't it?

Yeah, that's the idea.
I'm glad you're feeling it.

That's intentional?
Yes, definitely. Right.

Your wallpaper - talk me through it.

So I've gone for this style.

I love black and white.

I just love the swirl.
It's very Japan-di.

So it goes well with my theme.

You've all got these amazing,
beautiful styles going on,

but how will you feel if you
get locked out?

Well, devastated.

You know, you work so hard
coming up with something,

and it's just whether or not if
you're on the right path. Who knows?

What are you doing here?

Ohh! I'm loving the lime wash.

Well, I've primed this now,
and so this is getting a first coat.

And this is when it looks scary.

But as it dries, it really does
start to kind of look really nice.

You can see the texture.
See, on this one. Yeah, it's lovely.

It's a bit crazy, this whole
experience. Yeah!

THEY LAUGH

Oh, Tara!

This is giving very cosy, very lux,
very expensive... Yeah.

Very much like someone's going to
knock on the door

and present me with a glass of vino.

Is that how I'm meant to be feeling
here? That's exactly it. Yeah.

Because you've got a couple of kids,
right? Yeah, I've got two kids.

And do you have this luxury space
of your own in your current home?

No. I've never had anything
this grand or beautiful.

Oh, wow.

That must feel really special then,

knowing that, at the end of this
process,

this literally
could be your forever home. Yeah.

I mean, this room already
is my dream,

and it's not even finished,
but I love it.

This wall is giving what it needs
to give!

I'm feeling a little bit stressed.

I've marked out where the LEDs
are going to go on the wall.

Waiting for them to arrive.

Jordan. Hello. Hello. Welcome.
Welcome to the palace.

You've got the beams. Yeah.

You've got the pipework,
you've got the windows.

And what else have you got?

Not a lot.

It's coming. It's coming.

Talk me through
the LED light situation.

It's LEDs everywhere.
LEDs everywhere, mate? Whoa.

And you like a mirror as well?

Do you like just looking
at yourself?

Yeah...

Oh, my! Oh, my!

Yeah...

And have you sized up your
competition?

Have you seen any of the other
apartments?

I don't spend time watering
other people's grass.

I'd rather water my own, so... Oh!
I haven't really been bothering.

Oh! I love it, Jordan!

Are you stressed out?

I'm very stressed out.

Um, yeah. Let's just say I'm nowhere
near to being done.

Wow. This is amazing.

Do you think so? You've done
really well.

I love the panelling here.
Thank you.

I didn't expect this from you.

I don't know what I was expecting,
but it wasn't this!

I've never been a homeowner,

and if I were to walk away
with this prize,

that would be quite special.

That WILL be quite special.

Loving the confidence, John,

but you've still got a four-poster
bed to create

and there is only one day to go
until everyone faces the lockout.

With only one day left
until the apartments are locked,

all eight designers are racing
to complete their dream bedrooms.

I have an idea of what it should
look like,

and right now we're just not...
not at it.

Yeah, I'm ready to rock and roll.

It's pretty much...
No, it's not pretty much done.

Tara's bespoke wardrobe and vanity
unit took three days to build,

and now she's running out of time
to finish the rest of the room.

Fabric is awful.

I just can't get the tension
that I need on it.

Legitimately, I'm running out of
time now.

Literally got an hour and a half
left

and these lights haven't even
arrived.

If they don't come in time, I might
have to rip the whole thing off.

Time is ticking. Here we go.

It looks good.

So the headboard is done.

And I had a last-minute decision
to spray-paint and do some graffiti

on my mirror panel.

Ready?

Now I feel really under pressure

to make sure that I do
the right thing.

I don't know if I like it now.

I think I preferred the clean look.

SHE SIGHS

MAN SINGS AN ARIA

These are a bit too modern for
in here, aren't they?

Mirror, mirror on the wall who is
the fairest of them all?

My LEDs arrived a little bit
later than I expected,

but everything else is looking good.
Party pad, innit?

There's going to be a disco in here!

HE LAUGHS

With the final day of the challenge
complete,

the apartments are now locked.

The king has left his castle.
Here I am.

It's all about what Dara thinks.

And I'm pretty sure
I've covered her brief.

I am not going home.

I'm not going home.

Uh-uh.

I literally want to just walk
into their bedrooms

and be speechless.

The queen is back.
How are you, darling?

I'm just incredibly nervous to see
what everybody's done here.

I think you're going to be
impressed.

There's a feast for the eyes.
Let's go and have a look around.

Absolutely. After you. Come on.
The suspense is killing me.

Thank you. My arm, darling.

I really don't know what Dara
will make of my room.

Couldn't have given it any more.

So if this is not good enough,
I had nothing else to give.

Ooh. Very romantic.

Are you ready for love?
DARA LAUGHS

OK! I dig it.

She obviously listened to the brief.

These are very functional.

They all have storage.

There's different sorts of lighting.

There's the pendant lighting
above, that's decorative,

and then there's hidden
lighting behind the mirror.

She has a closet which dubs
as a vanity table.

It's a little bit deep,
because a closet only needs

to be 600 deep.

But, still, she even put
a feature wall in the back.

Everything she's executed
has been flawlessly done.

I think what sets me apart
from the other contestants

is the fact that...

..I think about those small details.

OK!

Now we're talking.

This actually feels like a proper,
sophisticated room.

I do love the shutters.

I feel like it adds so much texture
and materiality to the room.

I feel like I'm on holiday.

Limewash is actually a finish
that looks very expensive.

Is there anything
that he has missed, though?

I just don't love that there's
no storage.

Like, where do your clothes go?

And simply just put a rail
on this wall.

He has the depth.

No-one's looking around the corner.

It could have added
to that minimalistic style.

I mean, one thing I really do
appreciate is how he's made

this ledge go all the way
across the room and put artwork

where you would otherwise
have nothing.

So that was very clever.

The boy's done good.

I would 100% move into that flat
right now if that was my room.

It has got that wow factor
in that there's so many different

elements to it.

And I hope Dara sees and just
enjoys that expression.

Wow. Wow.

I just think it works.

I know this is adventurous, but
I actually love the idea of a tub

in a bedroom.

It's very trendy in the hotel world
right now.

And here they've actually
elevated the bed

and they've created
this amazing closet

where we can just hide everything
and just close the curtains.

And I actually love that
she hand-painted the wall.

Yeah, you like the mural? I do.
Because this is her thing.

This is very artistic.

What are the cons?

So the cons of having a bunk bed,
you can't sit anywhere.

I want to be able to come
into my room and relax and chill.

Yeah. You know, and right
now, I don't feel chill.

Overall unless anything major
happens,

I think it's all right.

I'm really pleased
with how the room looks.

How could I not be?

The craftsmanship in that room is
phenomenal.

Whoa!

I'm trying to be very style-agnostic
and just look at execution.

OK.

So tell me what you like.

So, I really like the fact
that they thought about all

of the surfaces in every aspect.

For example, they panelled the
walls.

The entire room is panelled.

Yeah, he panelled the bathroom
door and the front door,

which is just showing sensitivity
to details.

But what about the features
that you were looking for, the bed,

the storage, the lighting?

So, there's a lot of utility
functions with the side tables

and the low light.

He's covered the storage
with the closet.

You know, he's put some
good shelving space around,

a faux fireplace.

Do you like the four-poster bed?

It's interesting, cos when
you walk in, you're just like,

"Whoa, it's too small for this."

I think maybe one thing I would have
done is you can actually

have what's called
a faux corner bed.

And what that means
is you have the verticals,

but you actually
don't have the horizontals.

So it's an implied four-poster bed.

He definitely did his own thing.

I bet he has matching pyjamas and,
you know, and he's probably,

like, getting all snuggly
in this bed.

I think the way that my brutalist
interior design ideas

are going to be perceived
in the apartment is going to be...

Truthfully, I have no idea.

It's definitely, um, different.

You know, I'm trying to get
into her headspace and trying

to understand.

Her headspace is brutalism. Ah.

So for me, this, you know, it's not
quite brutalism, but it's something.

I'm just trying to like, kind of,
you know, I see the moon

and the posters, but then she's got,
like, this jungle thing going on.

As an interior designer,
the first thing

you have to have down is
the concept.

And right now I am confused
on what that concept is.

I like her creativity.

Like, to make a moon headboard
is amazing, but I think

that these are a little bit
bright for side lights.

The closet, you know, she only
has one level of hang.

So what about, like, tall coats? OK.

I just think overall, though,
what she really needed

was, like, a clear concept.

It's just kind of a lot
of mixed messages here.

We've got a lot of strong
candidates here.

Me being one of them, of course.

Gosh. Oh, whoa, whoa.

This is a guy's bedroom.

This is a total guy's bedroom.

Especially the mirror in front
of the bed, I'm just saying.

THEY LAUGH

It's a lot of personality.

It really expresses Jordan.

He's actually made his own bed base,
which I think is super-cool,

cos it's very low-level
zen Japanese vibe.

I do feel like it could be slightly
cosier.

I appreciate that he uses what looks
like linoleum type of flooring

of this fake marble.

To me, it just says, like, cheap
kitchen, you know?

And also, he could have maybe
utilised these niches and put some,

you know, at least a pillow here,

to just invite someone to kind
of sit down and read a book.

He's not reading a book
in this room.

I don't think I've played
it safe in the bedroom at all.

I feel confident
that I have gone for it.

It has kind of a positive
vibe, doesn't it?

It really does.

So Claire was really going for Japan
Day, which is Japanese

meets Scandinavian vibe.

Do you think she's nailed that? Yes.

The look and the style,
I feel this is very Japan-di.

I love the bedspread, the tones.

But I'm also looking for
functionality and technicalities.

That motif that she's done
behind the bed shows

that she has real a skill set
as an artist.

The wallpaper.

Is this wallpaper? That's wallpaper.

No way.

I mean, I love the wallpaper.

It ties in really well
with the pillows.

I just would have liked
to see more of her.

That's all.

And there's some missed
opportunities.

So, for example, this space here,
if it was me, I would have just made

this whole thing closet.

Same here.

This is opportunity for either,
like, a small, like, desk space.

I do feel like she did a great job,
but I feel like she's just

playing it safe.

It's just a bit too generic,
isn't it? Yeah.

Have to always be yourself,
cos that will definitely put

you far above the rest of
the competition.

Are you bored?

I'm definitely not bored,
but I do spot a few

missed opportunities here.

That could have definitely
been something that was unique

and personal to her.

I want to surprise Dara,
because that's always

what I'm looking for, is
the element of surprise.

Whoa. Hmm.

I love this.

I mean, I'm obsessed.

I love colour. This is my bedroom.

I love the fact that they looked
at all the services,

including the ceiling.

And she's the first person
I've seen keep the brick.

What I really love are these blobby
shapes on the wall

and how she's turned it
into a shelf and a mirror.

She has a very clever way of
using shapes and colours.

The storage.
DARA GASPS

She's taken some storage units
and she's created a bed base.

That is very, very, very creative.

I have to say, that might be my
favourite thing about this room.

She only has one type of lighting.

It's an incandescent bulb,
which is not exactly relaxing.

I'm not understanding the lighting
strategy here.

I'm just...that's the only thing.

While Dara's critical eye takes
it all in...

..all the designers can do now is
wait to see if they've done enough

to keep the keys to their potential
home for one more week.

to build their dream bedrooms
in the bid to win a home.

Owners Tim and Adam are on-site
and eager to see

whether this extraordinary
design gamble has paid off.

Well, it's bold, isn't it?

I think it feels really original.

It feels brave as a result,
because you haven't really seen

anything like this.

I feel like I've walked
into a nightclub.

THEY LAUGH

It's been done very well.

I mean, it's sort of been done
beautifully in a way, but it feels

a bit like a bed and breakfast
in the Cotswolds.

I can see that she's trying to make
it calm and chill and zen, but I do

wonder if it's...if it could
have done with a bit of colour.

We've actually ended up with eight
completely different designs,

which I think's really interested
and really exciting for the future.

I've been really encouraged
by what I've seen so far.

I'm still super-nervous
about what I might see next time

I come back, because I've seen some
moments of brilliance and I've seen

some stuff that's actually quite
frightening as well, you know,

and great design is great
for business.

That's what we know.
But also bad design is disastrous.

We're relying on Dara to make
sure that she locks out

the right contestant

so we're left with the very best
at the end.

How you all feeling?

ALL: Nervous.

Well, firstly, guys,
I just really want to thank

you all for all of the effort
that you've put

into your bedrooms this week.

You've done a fantastic job.

However, I do have to give
some feedback.

Jordan, you have a beautiful eye.

However, I'm not sure about
the choice of the flooring.

It could have been a lot cosier
and more functional for a bedroom.

Jamie, I thought the creativity
of that shelf going all the way

through was fantastic.

However, there's no closet space.

John, I thought your room literally
just transported us.

And I especially loved the detailing
on the back of the doors.

Claire, I was incredibly impressed
with that jungle wall mural.

I couldn't believe
you hand-painted that.

The space-planning could
have been better with maybe soft

seating and maybe a rug.

Justine, wow.
The colours are unbelievable.

You're obviously
a very talented artist.

The lighting on the side and in the
pendant were all the same.

And you want different types
of lighting.

Tara, your room was the concept
that really saw its way

from end to end.

Claire, firstly, I loved your
design.

However, I was really disappointed
that I didn't feel

like it was really
you and your personality.

Patrycja, incredible ambition.

I mean, you are the only person
that had a full-on installation

in your room.

However, I was a little bit confused
on what the concept was.

It almost felt like you weren't
being confident enough.

So, do you have your key cards
ready?

Yes. Yeah.

Oh!

My heart just sank.

You now need to return
to your apartments one by one.

Our designers must now attempt
to re-enter their apartments.

Green, and they remain
in the competition.

Red, and they have been locked out.

I don't want to have any regrets.

I just want to give it my all.

I dream of having my own home.

This is out of my comfort zone.

I am not an interior designer.

I do believe I have massively
hit the brief.

I am super-confident with my ideas.

It's just such an amazing
opportunity that I've been given.

Oh, have I put enough into it?

I've taken quite a big risk with it.

BEEP

BEEP

BEEP

BEEP

BEEP

HE GASPS AND LAUGHS

SHE SIGHS AND LAUGHS

On the way to the corridor,
I was dying, walking down,

yeah, it was, it was scary.

BEEP

Well, I'm through. That's coconuts,
innit?

I'm feeling really good.

I can't even describe, like, the
feeling

of just seeing the green light.

See that in my hand? We did it.

We got there.

OK.

OK!

Passed.

Unfortunately, this week,
I had to let Claire go.

I just didn't feel
like it was uniquely hers.

It just wasn't personal enough.

Obviously gutted. Completely gutted.

But I'm so proud of what I've done.

Well done, you guys. Well done.

Is it awkward now for you?Yep.
Get off me.
THEY LAUGH

The competition has truly begun.

Next time on The Big Interiors
Battle,

it's hotting up.

Week two, kitchen week,
it's my absolute favourite week.

Go, go, go!

The competition just got real.

But who has got the secret
ingredient?

Kitchens are terrifying to me.

And who will crash and burn?

Honestly, it looks like a cheap
strip club.
