Purchased on Mighty Ape

My wife and I fell into the deep and calming pond of the Great Interior Design Challenge – a surprisingly good TV show based on a bunch of rookie designers trying to get good.

This book follows the first season's designers, but it's quite a bit more in-depth than I expected. It covers content not included in the show, as well as the show's content and a deeper dive into that.

It's got less emphasis on the gameshow nature and more on how to use color and lighting, positioning, and so on – explaining much of the “why-” behind choices within the show. The useful part is the knowledge is easy to weaponise against your own home in the book's format.

If you enjoyed the show and want to know the hows of … How it's done, this is for you. I'd say it might also be useful for the casual amateur designer, but you will probably miss some of the contestant-based nuance. It's a great coffee table book as well as a teaching aid and reference.

The book contains case studies from the series - covering all room types, breakdowns of budget and mood boards as well and expert advice from the judges. The book takes a look at a variety of historical styles across the UK that feature in the series - from Regency to Victorian and Edwardian to Art Deco right up to modern industrial warehouse conversions - with inspiration for decorating within the style of your home. Including a number of upcycle projects from the TV series, technical know-how and insider tips from the judges, this book will help the amateur achieve professional results. Tom Dyckhoff is the presenter and is the architecture and design critic for the BBC's The Culture Show and has written and presented many documentaries for the BBC and Channel 4. Tom has written a weekly column in The Guardian Weekend for more than a decade and was the architecture critic for The Times. Sophie Robinson is one half of the judging panel and has been in the interior design business for over 12 years with a reputation as one of the industry's top interior stylists, regularly employed by top magazines and television. Daniel Hopwood completes the team as the second judge and has created homes for millionaire clients, and is a director at the elite British Institute of Interior Design.
