As homeowners are increasingly spending most of their time indoors, they are becoming more conscious about the style and design of their homes. The first episode of Designers' Challenge Season 7, titled "Boring Master Bedroom," explores how professional designers transform an ordinary master bedroom into a luxurious space that is both inviting and relaxing.
The show follows three homeowners who want to update their master bedrooms but aren't sure where to start. They have basic, unremarkable rooms that lack personality, style, and functionality. Some of the complaints include the lack of enough storage, a too small en suite, a dated, monotonous color scheme, and uninspiring décor.
In each redesign, the contestants have thirty hours to create a new master bedroom and should follow a budget of $10,000. The homeowners get to choose their favorite designer, and the designer with the most votes wins $5,000.
The first homeowner is a single mother with two kids who want to transform her dull and cramped master bedroom into a spa-like retreat from her chaotic life. She needs a clutter-free room with ample storage, comfortable bedding, and practical, but decorative accessories to accommodate her lifestyle.
The second homeowner is a couple who've been married for 30 years, and their master bedroom looks like it hasn't been updated in as long. They need a bedroom that feels like a sanctuary for both of them and reflects their taste. The couple has a love for mid-century modern style and prefers bold colors in their furniture and décor.
The third homeowner is a young couple who just purchased their first home. Despite the house's good bones, their master bedroom lacks style and personality. They want a bedroom that is functional, minimalistic, and serene, which reflects their no-fuss lifestyle.
Each designer goes into the challenge with a unique vision that suits their homeowner's style and budget. Some of the designers are bold and daring, choosing a variety of bright and vibrant colors, while others choose to create a serene space with neutrals and whites. Some of the designers choose to use furniture and décor that the homeowner already has and revamp them, while others opt for a complete room overhaul.
Throughout the episode, viewers get to see the progress of the designers as they try various materials, colors, and textures to create a new master bedroom design. As the clock ticks down, the contestants rush to complete their designs before the thirty hours are up.
After the renovation, the hosts review the makeovers and examine the designs they created. The contestants had a wide range of style and design profiles, and there is a great deal of excitement as the homeowners see their new rooms for the first time.
Finally, the hosts reveal the homeowner's ratings; the designer with the most votes wins $5,000, while the losers have to pack up their tools and leave their spaces. The payoff for the competition is in the beautiful master bedrooms that emerged from the challenge.
Designers' Challenge Season 7, episode 1 "Boring Master Bedroom," is an eye-opener about how professional designers handle design challenges in the real world. It showcases various design styles, practical tips, and inspiring ideas to transform any master bedroom into a beautiful, luxurious space that's both functional and appealing.
