In the first round of the first heat, the group of amateurs taking on the design challenge are hairdresser Oliver, dog walker Katie and photographer Daniela. They must each transform a bedroom in Regency properties in the grand Pittville estate of Cheltenham.
Katie, who has a love of all things vintage, has a nervous time trying to please the client with her use of a controversial peach colour scheme which divides the judges. Oliver is being creative trying to bring the outside in when he makes over a tired and unused dreary basement guest room, but he is taking a risk with his design so will he be able to satisfy their dislike of chintz, especially since his clients aren't too sure about his methods, particularly as he plans to incorporate children's toy hula hoops into the lighting? Daniela meanwhile has to design for a younger client but can she satisfy a 12-year-old schoolgirl who is after a sophisticated look for her bedroom? Will Daniela be able to rise to the challenge or has she bitten off more than she can chew?
All three try to come up with quirky and innovative designs when they are given a creative challenge - they are each given a surprise item which they have to cleverly incorporate into their scheme within three hours. They each have a thousand pounds, 48 hours and a small team to help deliver their schemes. Who has and who hasn't satisfied the judges? One of them will be going home.
