The Big Interiors Battle

The last four designers compete in living room week. Dara's looking for the very best design, ingenuity and functionality in a living room that ties the whole home together.

Judge Dara Huang pushes the final three designers even further out of their comfort zone, sending them to an outdoor adventure centre in the Peak District to contend with a multi-use common room space that needs much love and that must fit in better with its beautiful surroundings. The clients then select their favourite design from the trio of contenders.

The semi-finalists tackle the challenge of the spare rooms in their apartments with hopes of impressing judge Dara Huang and making it to the final two. With the final prize of £250,000 within reach, the designers start to think how they will use the space should it become their home and try to put Dara's advice to good use. 

AJ Odudu presents the final of this contest, in which up-and-coming interior designers battle it out to make over - and ultimately win - an apartment of their own, worth £250,000. Judge Dara Huang believes that a hallway is one of the hardest areas to get right - it needs to be practical and welcoming and also set the tone for the rest of the home. She's looking to the finalists to engineer transformations that say something about each of then persoanlly, and wants to see creativity packed into these challenging spaces.
