Interior Design Masters series 6 episode guide
We'll update you with regular highlights from each week's episode here. Tune in each week for fresh updates!
Who won Interior Design Masters 2024?
Roisin Quinn is the winner of Interior Design Masters 2024! Roisin's first taste of interior design was redecorating her parents' home and she never looked back.
Over the series, we've loved seeing Roisin grow in confidence and develop her own signature style, learning from the judges' comments each week.
She said: "I've done it! I've just won Interior Design Masters – I can't believe it. The whole thing has been the biggest achievement of my entire life."
Meet the judge and presenter of Interior Design Masters Series 6
The brand new batch of aspiring designers will be put to the test in a series of challenges. They'll visit different destinations around the country and will need to impress Michelle Ogundehin and the guest judges with their creative skills each week.
Those on the losing team will have to sit on the couch and explain their design decisions to the judges – with one contestant being sent home each week. We can't wait to see what spaces the contestants create and decorate this year!
Interior Design Masters 2025 judge Michelle Ogundehin
The main judge on the show is Michelle Ogundehin, who is the former editor-in-chief of Elle Decoration. She's both a judge and mentor to the contestants and loves to see their skills develop as the series progresses. She describes her judging style as "firm but fair".
So, what can we expect from the new series? "Tears, joy, inspiration, disasters, incredulity, and a lot of passion and effort. Our designers work incredibly hard, because each and every project is everything to them!" she says.
As usual, Michelle has high expectations of this year's fresh crop of designers. "Most of all, I’m looking for people who are open to learn," she says. "People with a can-do attitude and a unique point of view. I can only bring out the best in someone who's prepared to accept that they don't know it all already."
"Also, the best designers, whether just starting out, or firmly established, recognise that they are first and foremost in service to their client.
"It's so easy to fall into the trap of defaulting to old tropes or personal must-haves, but if it's not appropriate to the scheme, location, purpose or brief, then you have to be big enough to change it. That said, passion also goes a long way, as does enthusiasm!"
Michelle's staying tight-lipped about her standout design from the new series. "It would be like picking a favourite child, so no, I couldn’t possibly choose only one," she says.

Interior Design Masters 2025 presenter Alan Carr
Comedian and TV presenter Alan Carr took over as the host of Interior Design Masters in series two. The show was previously presented by Fearne Cotton.
Alan is best known for hosting Alan Carr: Chatty Man, but has also made appearances on comedy shows such as Ru Paul's Drag Race UK and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
He's very excited about this year's designers: "The key to the show's success is the designers, it’s getting the right mix, not just of personalities but design styles. This year does not disappoint: we have quirky designers, serious designers but the one thing they have in common is that they are designers who are just starting out.
"On this show you always think that you’ve seen everything and then a designer comes along with something so uniquely beautiful, or in some cases hideously awful, but you are always surprised whether in a good way or bad!"
Alan Carr is brilliantly supportive of the contestants on Interior Design Masters, but how does he resist the urge to share his opinions? "I have to bite my tongue so badly, but then I do have the worst poker face, so I end up saying it anyway.," he says.
"The series has been going on so long now that I think the designers can tell whether I like it or not. They’ll say ‘you hate it don’t you’ and I have to come clean. But in my defence if I LOVE a design I will gush accordingly."
What is Interior Design Masters about?
If you're a creative person who loves to watch home renovation shows, then you're guaranteed to enjoy Interior Design Masters – it's the perfect mix of crafting, DIY and interior design. And, of course, it's a competition with a prestigious prize in store for the winner.
Each week the contestants are asked to make over a new venue and past series have included restaurant makeovers, shop interiors and even beach hut redesigns. For some challenges, the contestants are split off into small teams and for others they must work separately.
It's often a real test of their team working and communication skills, which are essential for anyone who wants to be a professional interior designer. It's a competitive show, but often the best designs are the result of a successful collaboration between the contestants.
