Premise

The competition pits 10 amateur interior designers against each other[3] for a chance to win a commercial contract.[4] Each week, a different challenge is set,[5] designed to test their ability to meet various client briefs in different commercial and residential settings. Across the series, the contenders redesign commercial spaces, from shops to restaurants and salons.[6]

Interior Design Masters was hosted by presenter Fearne Cotton for one series in 2019,[7] and then from 2021 Alan Carr and judged by former Elle Decoration editor-in-chief Michelle Ogundehin.[8] Michelle is joined by a rotating panel of guest judges, dependent on the weekly brief, such as interior stylist Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, retail expert Mary Portas and home designer Jade Jagger.[9][10]
