The Great Interior Design Challenge: Welwyn Garden City

Architectural historian Tom Dyckhoff presents the series searching for untapped interior design talent, judged by interior designers Sophie Robinson and Daniel Hopwood. It's the sixth of nine heats and three new designers battle it out for a place in the second round. The amateurs are updating three identical living rooms in Welwyn Garden City. But with only three days, £1,000 and the help of a builder, the pressure is on to deliver rooms that keep the homeowners happy and impress the judges. Costume designer Christine has a natural approach in her room - using turmeric and onion skins to dye her fabrics - but it's a time consuming task. Photographer Luke has a job convincing his clients to go with his vibrant retro scheme, and Rich from Somerset must work hard to deliver his art-deco plan. Tom delves into the history of Welwyn Garden City and its neo-Georgian architecture. While judges Sophie and Daniel decide whose design is worthy of these iconic homes and a place in the next round.
