The Big Interiors Battle

AJ Odudu presents this contest in which eight up-and-coming interior designers battle it out to make over - and ultimately win - an apartment of their own, worth £250,000. Judge and award-winning architect Dara Huang pushes their creativity to the limit as they work on a different room in their apartment each week. At the end, if their keycard lights up green, they live to compete another week. If it's red, their time in the competition is up.

The competition hots up as kitchen week commences. As ever, judge and award-winning architect Dara Huang pushes the contenders' creativity to the limit as they are tasked to turn an empty space into an incredible, unique kitchen worthy of being in this epic building development.

Bathroom week finds the designers feeling flush as they make the smallest rooms in their apartments stand out enough for them to face Dara Huang's judging. The contenders up the ante with hand-painted murals, bespoke wallpapers and themes ranging from a country house to a nightclub toilet. However, interiors queen Dara is looking for more than gimmicks and wants to see how these spaces function while also looking beautiful.

It's team challenge week. The designers pull together to make over a café and performance space in Sheffield city centre, but they're in for a shock when judge Dara visits.

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.

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.
