Interior Design Masters

Ten aspiring interior designers on the cusp of turning professional take part in the biggest design challenge of their lives. Competing to win their first official commercial contract, with the Watergate Bay Hotel in Cornwall, the designers face a different commercial brief each week, with their spaces scrutinized by head judge Michelle Ogundehin. This week, Michelle is joined by fashion designer turned interior designer Matthew Williamson. The challenge they set is to transform five upmarket rental apartments in Manchester. Working in pairs, the designers must decorate a living room or master bedroom and a shared home office. They have just two days, £1,500 and two tradesmen to help them get the job done.

The designers are sent to Wotton House in Surrey, a Grade II listed grand hotel. There they must each update a bedroom in their signature style, incorporating a 'British eccentric' twist.

The remaining eight contenders work on four dated common rooms at Gordano School in Bristol, with two to be eliminated after this challenge.

The six remaining designers are set their next challenge. They are off to the cathedral city of Salisbury to transform three very different shops.
