In the UK, the newest series of Interior Design Masters aired on BBC One, featuring ten designers including Sophie, Ben, and Frankie Ratford. The designers expressed a mix of excitement and anxiety about their experiences in the competition, with both Sophie and Ben describing their time on the show as enjoyable despite the initial intimidation of having cameras on them. They appreciated the support received from the show's host, Alan Carr, whose presence was said to uplift their spirits during the challenging tasks. Ben, who makes outdoor furniture, stated that his motivation for participating was to gain exposure to advance his career, emphasizing that although it was a stressful experience, it was also the most fun he had ever had. Frankie Ratford, from the New Forest, described the competition as a 'whirlwind', stating that it pushed her outside of her comfort zone but also allowed her to showcase her rapid design process due to her impatience in renovations. Throughout the series, the contestants take on various design challenges, beginning with their first task of transforming beach huts into unique representations of their styles. The judges noted the high level of talent and creativity, indicating that this season felt more confident than previous ones. The series aims to highlight not just decoration but also the strategic thinking involved in creating functional spaces under pressure, promoting a range of design perspectives among the competitors.
