Tara’s bedroom (John and Lisa)

Colin loved the way John and Lisa featured the dreamcatchers in Tara’s bedroom and felt they added great texture to the room. Justin thought the bedroom was confident space and well put together with good detailing and storage, as well as a colour scheme that really worked. While Justin felt the chandelier didn’t fit the style of the rest of the room, he did think it showed design bravery. The judges were concerned at the level of the shelving on the wall being a safety hazard.  

Colin’s score: 8/10                           Justin’s score: 9/10                          Total: 17/20

Hallway

Justin thought Lisa and John’s hallway was unbelievable and among the top transformations he’s seen in his career. Colin loved the lighting and table setting the pair used in the centre of the hallway. Justin thought the colour scheme was gorgeous.

Colin’s score: 9/10                           Justin’s score: 10/10                       Total: 19/20

Main bathroom

Justin felt the choice of tiles on the wall in Lisa and John’s bathroom was design brave. Colin loved the choice and said they weren’t just tiles, they were functional art. Justin wasn’t a fan of the floor tile choice, but the great execution was great.

Colin’s score: 8/10                           Justin’s score: 9/10                          Total: 17/20

Dining area

Colin thought Lisa and John’s dining room delivered, with a great casual but luxurious tone. Justin thought the chandelier choice clashed with the hallway chandeliers and would have liked to see three of the same.

Colin’s score: 9/10                           Justin’s score: 8/10                          Total: 17/20

Living area

Justin loved the impact that the tv unit and shelving made in Lisa and John’s living area. Justin loved roof of skylights.

Guest bedroom (Scott and Nadia)

Colin didn’t agree with the placement of the bed in Scott and Nadia’s bedroom, but he couldn’t see another place the bed would work. Justin loved the artwork and décor in the room and felt that it was well thought out. Justin pointed out the danger of not having a hearth in front of a fireplace, stressing its visual importance.

Colin’s score: 8/10                           Justin’s score: 8/10                          Total: 16/20

Ensuite

Colin felt Scott and Nadia’s ensuite was “oh so sweet” and simply delightful. He felt the room’s design flowed smoothly from wall to wall. Justin loved the herringbone tiling.

Laundry

Justin loved how Scott and Nadia didn’t overdesign their laundry and kept it practical.  Justin suggested a black grouting in the tiled splash back to tie in the dark tap.

Colin’s score: 8/10                           Justin’s score: 9/10                          Total: 17/20

Breakfast nook

Colin thought Scott and Nadia’s breakfast area was really sweet. Justin loved how they reworked the original fireplace well and made it work in the new space., still keeping touches of the family.

Colin’s score: 9/10                           Justin’s score: 9/10                          Total: 18/20

Kitchen

Colin loved the soft close cabinetry. Justin loved that the concealed lighting under the cabinets. Colin thought the execution of the skylights really added to the whole space. Justin thought the cabinet colours should have been flipped, with the dark cabinets on the bottom.
