Interior Design Masters

Interior Design Masters is a British reality competition television series that has been airing since 14 August 2019 first on BBC Two and then since 2022 on BBC One.

Show format The competition pits 10 amateur interior designers against each other for a chance to win a commercial contract. Each week, a different challenge is set, 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.

History Under the working title Project Interiors, the show was being developed in August 2018 by Claire Walls, Donna Clark, and Nicky Hammond at Darlow Smithson Productions for BBC Two, originally, in the UK and Netflix in other regions. Interior Design Masters was hosted by presenter Fearne Cotton for one series in 2019, and then from 2021 Alan Carr and judged by former Elle Decoration editor-in-chief Michelle Ogundehin. 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.
