An interior designer shouldnt be about putting THEIR taste into someone's house. It's about being sympathetic to the build, light, space and those living within the home. Class over fad anyday!
@maximillion8442 , I think a designer can both do both. They can make a statement that would be within the purpose of the show without insulting the homeowners and their family needs.
Yep - I solve the problem by zooming to the end - I don't have the patience for the angst between the "designers" and the side comments of the tradies.
The thing about this show is it is high risk to let the designer design but if they nail it it's a free make over. This was great episode. Apart from the dining room
I find it poetic that the woman who dresses light colors prefers dark designs whereas the woman who wears dark colors likes bright and sparkly design 😂
What's the woody designers obsession with Islamic stuff? Yes the family are Islamic but it doesn't mean they want their whole house to scream it. I'm a vegetarian but doesn't mean I want my entire living room made of vegetables..
Yeah I think stuff like that should be left to the family themselves. The religion aspect should be thought of to avoid things that they might not want (for example no Buddha statues or animal pictures in the direction ppl pray in). I think they didn't think that much about making ppl feel comfortable and safe in their homes and that's a pity. But I also think the designers should be allowed to talk to the family.
Pandora is so typical of those right on mother earth types, she kept banging on about Islam, like the bossy one said it was more about her than the home owners. Also she didnt even consider the fact that there are 2 small children and 2 elderly people living in the house. The Ahmeds are a lovely family.
The funny thing is she didn't know anything about Islam.. The painting was one arabic letter which has no value in islam 😂😂 like if i have a painting contains letter G and that represents western culture 😂😂
Omar Gadal Good point. The painting is an abstract idea, for a museum. Now, a lovely piece of traditional calligraphy of an Islamic prayer framed beautifully would have been a better choice.
The Arabic letter does have some islamic meaning as she mentioned, its the start of a chapter of the Quran. But it's very abstract, unless she explains that , its just a letter for most people
I feel like the host of this show tries to pick designers who have a bold style and then she goes 'oh dear,' and makes puns about how the designers are bad even if the choices they've made are good.
A GOOD DESIGNER is someone who GETS OUT OF THE WAY. If you want to EXPRESS YOURSELF, become an Artist and create installations. If you're a designer, PUT YOUR EGO AWAY and LISTEN to the people you're designing for.
these eccentric designers are obviously selected for tv drama effect. No designer or wanna-be designer can be so self-obsessed. they have no business in being in interior design.
Interior designers should not design a place on how they want it, they did wanted to what they want and like. They have not considered that other people are maybe not completely into their style and have to find a midway which is not too hard to transform in a different direction if they are not happy with it.
All actually really nice. I really love that black wall paper. The host isn't very good at judging. The wooden dining room could have worked if it wasn't closed in and chairs were lighter.
I honestly think it was a shame they didn’t use that painting she(Pandora) showed Emily EVEN when she offered to put it in a black/ grey frame to fit Emily’s style. I honestly thought that would be a great compromise and the family would love it Edit: I wrote that reply mid episode and I’m happy they put it up at the end AND IM SO GLAD TO SEE THE FAMILY BEING OVERJOYED ABOUT IT. That really just warmed my heart
I honestly felt sick to my stomach watching this show. The pretentious host and wanna be designers had no regard or respect for the home owners. They came in simply to impose their "off planet" or "mother earth" ideas, not to mention a brothel room for Grandma Lilly - and to hell with what anyone else thought. This poor family with small kids. No consideration for them whatsoever. Ugh. A Madam - A Space Cadet - and A F'in Hippie. Cannot bear to watch another episode of this show - ever.
Emily said it herself in her camcorder introduction. This is what I want to do. I'm doing it this way whether you like it or not! This is not how to be a good interior designer. You design what the customer wants, not you!
The tree girl is too obsessed. In my opinion all the rooms in a house should somewhat match. These designers need to do a better job at working together
the dark blue living room can be easily shifted to a pleasant, spacious place by keeping the fireplace wall in the same shade but shifting the colour of all other walls to a much lighter shade of blue. A shade that can go with the furniture and the other wall with the fireplace. Problem solved :)
The first thing I noticed was the very CLEAN kitchen of the Ahmed family (which was then destroyed within hours...) I was really worried about how these artistic girls would manage to think about the practicality of cleaning surfaces. I was so happy that the family liked the end result. Pandora`s painting is amazing and she is the one who added meaning and love to the family`s home :)
I wish that our house’s ceilings were higher - I’d love to be able to hang a beautiful hardwood branch from the ceiling in our living room. But just ONE branch. Pandora seems not to have thought about the needs of the children and the elders. That dining room belongs in a museum or a childless couple’s city “pad.”
Those were my thoughts, too. I love the rough woody style combines with the Moroccan touch, but it just wasn't suitable for the kids and the grandparents.
OK. Wallpaper above the stove? Good luck getting the stains off. Dining room:replace the heavy chairs and the wood from the walls replacing them with nice paintings and it will be fine.
So basically do the whole dining room again lol, I feel like pandora didn’t do anything really. She just put a different table and ugly wood trunks on the walls.
A good frame (on a picture) is ONE YOU DON'T NOTICE. It makes the picture LOOK GOOD but you are NOT staring at the frame. Good design doesn't scream "LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME!!!!!!" ... it simply makes you want to BE IN THAT SPACE.
I agree, it makes me so angry here in England when people are racist and anti-islamic because this shows they are just a normal family like any other. Cheers to them.
'So how would you describe your sty..' 'DARKKK' 'You know some people may want a little brightness to...' 'BLACKK' 'Ok just get on with it I don't get paid enough for this'
She’s got a gorgeous figure, for sure, but dressing like a hooker doesn’t do anyone any favors. Would you trust someone dressed like that to decorate your home? I wouldn’t - even as a presenter she’s kinda suspect.
I’m not going to apologize, but she looks like an adult film actress or a brothel madame! She REALLY needs to rethink an outfit that shows all your underwear lines! The fake tan, hair and over the top makeup need all toning down. She doesn’t need it, she would look lovely in more classic, age appropriate outfits! Some elocution lessons wouldn’t go astray! And may even help her win over a few extra clients!
The kitchen is lovely but not functional. There isn't much cabinet storage for a family of six. It would look amazing in a bachelor pad. Padora is just a hot mess.
Nigel, Tracy and Lily were quite sweet. I love that Nigel and Tracy got teary eyed when the saw Lily's room. I think that changing 3 of the walls in the sitting room to a light grey or light blue would make it much better. Pandora's living room was rather dull and boring. I love wood, but that was just stupid. The kitchen was amazing and I really hate the industrial look. I really like that. I was very surprised.
I didnt like dinning room what Pandora made .It looks like old castle ,but not any glam in it.I do love wood ,but that table and chairs was nit my taste
I love the morroccan designed wall in the living room but the other parts failed , she should out her mark in a room but adapt it into the family space to suit them! So glad that she insisted on the Arabic letter it gave warmth and character to that grey room, Imo their design was overall lovely. In the other house I loved the wallpaper and kitchen but not the bedroom and lounge but at least the family did
Mrs. Ahmed is so pretty, lovely and real...a breath of fresh air amongst the fake hair and makeup one sees so much of these days. Indeed, the whole Ahmed family seems sweet and kind. You are a lucky man, Mr. Ahmed!
I do feel that they purposely pick the wrong designers for the wrong families - that some of the other designers in this show would have done well in this house and these designers would have done well in a different house ... probably for ratings and extra drama i guess
I'm in Canada and this is my first time seeing this show, I really like it!! and what nice families! The Ahmed family seem so genuine and kind. and Lilly is adorable. Thank you for the upload.
Please do more i think it is VERY uneic and some of those comments were afesive and the families were very kind and caring and nice and don't say that she's 7 feet tall because that is how tall she is
People don't realize that it's MUCH HARDER THAN THEY THINK. It's not just a good idea in terms of design (which I don't think was achieved either). But, it MUST be function over form. And when you think that way, it inspires beautiful form, that enhances living. There are SO many different criteria that must be fulfilled for it to be a successful design. People think they get to design for themselves--but that's not what it's about. You have to juggle your own creativity with this "PROFESSIONAL/COMMERCIAL" PROCESS. And that's not a dirty awful thing, it doesn't compromise the vision, it makes it sharper. To bring beauty to the quotidian experience is a great gift...
I don't know that I would trust that presenter. She seems too keen on her own appearance (tight dresses, stupid shoes etc.) and is also very keen on self-promoting as a 'professional' designer.
First time I am watching this...just wondering why the designers didn't work with what the families wanted? I hate what Pandora did to that room AND the furniture, i think the original table was much better and what's up with all the wood? Pandora did what SHE liked and did not think about what the family would find nice and comfy...I would NOT hire her to do ANYTHING in my house! As for the bedroom....well.....she could have done more with the walls...the wall paper was not a hit with me but at least Lily liked it
They are repeating this programme on BBC2 this week. It's on iplayer. I wondered why episode 2 was missing. Now I know why. Do not let any of those people near your house.
I hope they kept the Ahmed’s dining table and chairs to replace that wooden set ( maybe that would go ok out the bad garden ?) I think with their original black and glass set it would be much nicer to look at and more practical
Think God the designer didn't give pandora the kitchen because it's gonna be a fire hazard
I appreciate the vaguely south asian themed music they put all over the episode.
An interior designer shouldnt be about putting THEIR taste into someone's house. It's about being sympathetic to the build, light, space and those living within the home. Class over fad anyday!
I liked the kitchen. The only thing I liked.
Amateur designers will be designing to their taste, hence this show with its drama and entertainment value
Ik. I’d never go on this show lmao. Especially with the drastically different styles in each room.
Agreed, but I think you misunderstand the point of the show
@maximillion8442 , I think a designer can both do both. They can make a statement that would be within the purpose of the show without insulting the homeowners and their family needs.
Ok I love both families and the kids are cute, but that mother from the other family is adorable.
This show gives me anxiety, yet I can't stop watchin it🤣
It's like watching an imminent trainwreck, driven by a troll. jk (This is the first time I've seen this show. I love it!!)
@@gustonzimasheen, perfect description
Yep - I solve the problem by zooming to the end - I don't have the patience for the angst between the "designers" and the side comments of the tradies.
I genuinely can't believe a show like this even exist still....and here I am eyes glued to the screen with my mouth agape in shock....
The thing about this show is it is high risk to let the designer design but if they nail it it's a free make over. This was great episode. Apart from the dining room
So, do the designers just ignore the family's brief? If so then what the hell's the point of having a meeting with them before they get started?
because its a TV show maybe?
So much ego!
I find it poetic that the woman who dresses light colors prefers dark designs whereas the woman who wears dark colors likes bright and sparkly design 😂
"I love wood because it's living and breathing...," yet she has a bunch of dead pieces of wood all around her. Goofy.
Exactly what I said Lol
That can be a fire hazard.
she means that organic materials continue to warp and mature whereas steel/concrete/glass/etc dont
What's the woody designers obsession with Islamic stuff? Yes the family are Islamic but it doesn't mean they want their whole house to scream it. I'm a vegetarian but doesn't mean I want my entire living room made of vegetables..
rachel luna that made me laugh so much as I’m a vegetarian and I also wouldn’t want my room made out of vegetables haha 😂
You are equating being a vegetarian to a religion? lol
Yeah I think stuff like that should be left to the family themselves. The religion aspect should be thought of to avoid things that they might not want (for example no Buddha statues or animal pictures in the direction ppl pray in). I think they didn't think that much about making ppl feel comfortable and safe in their homes and that's a pity. But I also think the designers should be allowed to talk to the family.
I get where your coming from but she was being very considerate, it was sweet
Asparagus lamps, eggplant tables, cucumber couches. Why not?
Pandora is so typical of those right on mother earth types, she kept banging on about Islam, like the bossy one said it was more about her than the home owners. Also she didnt even consider the fact that there are 2 small children and 2 elderly people living in the house. The Ahmeds are a lovely family.
The funny thing is she didn't know anything about Islam.. The painting was one arabic letter which has no value in islam 😂😂 like if i have a painting contains letter G and that represents western culture 😂😂
Omar Gadal Good point. The painting is an abstract idea, for a museum. Now, a lovely piece of traditional calligraphy of an Islamic prayer framed beautifully would have been a better choice.
Can you imagine those low sofas being great for the older members of the family, especially as they get older? Not at all comfy
The Arabic letter does have some islamic meaning as she mentioned, its the start of a chapter of the Quran.
But it's very abstract, unless she explains that , its just a letter for most people
But the family found the Islamic letter and painting to be their favourite part!
I feel like the host of this show tries to pick designers who have a bold style and then she goes 'oh dear,' and makes puns about how the designers are bad even if the choices they've made are good.
A GOOD DESIGNER is someone who GETS OUT OF THE WAY. If you want to EXPRESS YOURSELF, become an Artist and create installations. If you're a designer, PUT YOUR EGO AWAY and LISTEN to the people you're designing for.
👏
Aside from the hideous wallpaper, that kitchen was pretty decent lol
I really loved the navy blue room. I think she did a great job with that one!
these eccentric designers are obviously selected for tv drama effect. No designer or wanna-be designer can be so self-obsessed. they have no business in being in interior design.
They are not designers, the host clearly states they’ve only ever decorated their own homes
Interior designers should not design a place on how they want it, they did wanted to what they want and like. They have not considered that other people are maybe not completely into their style and have to find a midway which is not too hard to transform in a different direction if they are not happy with it.
Pandora really screams that valley girl that just got back from Coachella to me for some reason.
All actually really nice. I really love that black wall paper. The host isn't very good at judging. The wooden dining room could have worked if it wasn't closed in and chairs were lighter.
The dining room was a hazard.
Hahaha when she walked in and they were soooio small 🤣🤣🤣
"It's a fire hazard" 😂
I loved the Ahmed family!
i'm here because of paige wessel lol
I really liked the Ahmeds’ kitchen!
I can see why they are amatuer designers nuff said.
I love how Pandora kept their religion in mind, very thoughtful of her.
I honestly think it was a shame they didn’t use that painting she(Pandora) showed Emily EVEN when she offered to put it in a black/ grey frame to fit Emily’s style. I honestly thought that would be a great compromise and the family would love it
Edit: I wrote that reply mid episode and I’m happy they put it up at the end AND IM SO GLAD TO SEE THE FAMILY BEING OVERJOYED ABOUT IT. That really just warmed my heart
What do you mean? She literally said she went for a Moroccan style, and the family is Pakistani lol

Seriously it's a crock of shite
And Pandora had already chosen the branch she wanted to use for lighting before she even entered the house!
I didn't like the wooden dinner room, I would like to see it in a museum but not as a place where i have my dinner all around my family
I really hope they give them the funds to redecorate once the show is done. Coz some of the other episodes are just cringe.
this program should be called Your home in tacky hands
Love love the kitchen. Wow it's gorgeous!! The Ahmed's are lucky indeed
I almost scream when they painted those boxes with grey.
The tree girl is too obsessed. In my opinion all the rooms in a house should somewhat match. These designers need to do a better job at working together
I love how British TV shows take as long as 2 minutes and 27 seconds to introduce the show😅
the dark blue living room can be easily shifted to a pleasant, spacious place by keeping the fireplace wall in the same shade but shifting the colour of all other walls to a much lighter shade of blue. A shade that can go with the furniture and the other wall with the fireplace. Problem solved :)

It is interesting that the designers think only of their likes rather than their clients.
interesting or sadistic?
Pandora reminds me of Christopher Walken.
How tall is that woman? She appears taller than the men. Just wondering.
GARISH!!!
both of these families are so pure, i love both of them
I liked both the first ones 🥲
The Ahmeds' kitchen and Lily's bedroom wete amazing!!! Absolutely brilliant.
That host has no idea about people’s feelings..if they don’t like it give the money back
Having no idea what people would like totally unproffesional
Anyone else feels the wall with shelves in Ahmed's house doesn't really go together?
Was it your house that was redesigned?
I wish that our house’s ceilings were higher - I’d love to be able to hang a beautiful hardwood branch from the ceiling in our living room. But just ONE branch.

Those were my thoughts, too. I love the rough woody style combines with the Moroccan touch, but it just wasn't suitable for the kids and the grandparents.
The show would have to pay to get that mess that Pandora created fixed/taken out. That was pure foolishness.
No they didn't one of the previous victims and designer are on here talking about the show.
They definitely should because it looked better before. Pandora is a daft cow, basically destroyed a good room
OK. Wallpaper above the stove? Good luck getting the stains off. Dining room:replace the heavy chairs and the wood from the walls replacing them with nice paintings and it will be fine.
So basically do the whole dining room again lol, I feel like pandora didn’t do anything really. She just put a different table and ugly wood trunks on the walls.
"Who else would hang tree stumps from the ceiling?".
A HEROIN ADDICT, MAYBE!
No a marijuana eejit

WHAT A LOVELY FAMILY- I LOVE THE GRANDMOTHER...
SHE MAKES ME SMILE SHES SO SWEET.. CHEERS AHMED FAMILY !
YOUR LOVELY PEOPLE!
I agree, it makes me so angry here in England when people are racist and anti-islamic because this shows they are just a normal family like any other. Cheers to them.
The whole family were really lovely my heart went out to them with the crappy ideas that were turned out, dreadful show, dreadful so called designers
'So how would you describe your sty..'
'DARKKK'
'You know some people may want a little brightness to...'
'BLACKK'
'Ok just get on with it I don't get paid enough for this'
They need to watch "The Great Interior Design Challenge". Its brilliant and is done with people who love design but are not professionals.
Never again will I be envious of people who can afford a designer. These women failed miserably.
Some of the designs came out great. Really like the motto: "Just go for it."Really, really nice.
she loves wood but i wonder if she realizes u have to kill trees for that wood
fucking hell how tall is she
can the host's clothes get any tighter ?
No!
Can her skin get any more orange?

Drunk Vegan Gal, reading your name here, are you a vegan? I'm a vegetarian myself.
My thoughts exactly, it was so lovely to watch them giggling over designers in the car, they have such great connection
I do feel that they purposely pick the wrong designers for the wrong families - that some of the other designers in this show would have done well in this house and these designers would have done well in a different house ... probably for ratings and extra drama i guess

She’s only 7ft tall because of her tacky shoes.
"If you liek it or not"..thats just unprofessional...
Shrejeel Ahmed uploaded it himself!!
Why would you make a room smaller, especially with a large family? The designer was fuming. You can make something nice looking and safe.
Oh, that bedroom is SO tacky. It could've been ok--but they just pushed it to the extreme of vulgarity...
Love the kitchen, love elements of the living room but too much grey.

The living room was ok but I think Pandora should have been able to put up all 13 boxes and not painted them matte gray.
maybe grey stained wood.
Would she wear that massive cross any other time?
Makes you wonder how pitty
i dont like pandora’s style but she’s so calm and sweet lol
Both families were really lovely 😊
First time I am watching this...just wondering why the designers didn't work with what the families wanted? I hate what Pandora did to that room AND the furniture, i think the original table was much better and what's up with all the wood? Pandora did what SHE liked and did not think about what the family would find nice and comfy...I would NOT hire her to do ANYTHING in my house! As for the bedroom....well.....she could have done more with the walls...the wall paper was not a hit with me but at least Lily liked it
'Sounds like Pakistan' 😂😂😂
metal bits like urban Pakistan, wood stuff like rural Pakistan....poor family
That made me smile - I completed her sentence in my head with “and not in a good way.”
Lovely families... and Mr Ahmed was so kind. Kuddos
Well an happy ending for both families.
The living room doesn't look like a place in which I could relax.
Good thing it's not your house eh
They are repeating this programme on BBC2 this week. It's on iplayer. I wondered why episode 2 was missing. Now I know why. Do not let any of those people near your house.
Its on celias youtube channel, so if you wanna watch that disaster its there
I hope they kept the Ahmed’s dining table and chairs to replace that wooden set ( maybe that would go ok out the bad garden ?) I think with their original black and glass set it would be much nicer to look at and more practical
i'm sure lisa vanderpump would love lily's room
Those boxes are fantastic!
Pandora is crazy oh god...
The room Pandora made was nice, needs color, and accessories though...
Where do you find all of these dreadful so called 'designers' - some if this is just ghastly.
Why do they try and make every room look like an art gallery. Too much going on and they seem to always ignore the family’s brief. 🙄
wtf she's so tall I'm scrraming 😂
Love ladder shelves i have some but no as big
Lmao panic at the disco I hear you
Can't the host not sound like she's on the apprentice
