The Great Interior Design Challenge: Port Sunlight

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 penultimate heat and three new designers battle it out for a place in the second round. The amateur designers are working in pretty workers' cottages on a Dutch-influenced crescent in the model village Port Sunlight. They have £1000, three days and the help of a builder to transform a master bedroom each. Mehul from London draws on his heritage and love of all things industrial to answer his brief for a restful scheme. While hairdresser Louise from Northumberland wants to use her favourite paint effects to answer her brief, even though her homeowner isn't sure. Architectural historian Tom Dyckhoff delves into the history of the model village of Port Sunlight where each block is designed by different architecture, while judges Sophie and Daniel decide who has the design potential to go through to the next round.
