Ep 4. Thatched Village

In episode 4 of season 3 of the Great Interior Design Challenge, the contestants are tasked with designing a home in a unique location - a thatched village. This particular village is known for its picturesque cottages with thatched roofs and traditional architecture. The designers will have to take into consideration the rich history and local traditions of the area, while also creating a space that is functional and aesthetically pleasing for modern-day living.

As the contestants arrive in the village, they are greeted by their mentor and judge, Kelly Hoppen, who explains the challenge ahead. The homeowners are a young couple who have recently purchased an old cottage and are in need of a complete renovation. They explain to the designers that they are looking for a contemporary space that still retains the charm and character of the traditional building.

The designers begin by exploring the area and drawing inspiration from the local architecture and landscape. Many of them are drawn to the rustic charm of the traditional cottages and the natural elements of the surrounding countryside. However, they also recognize the need to modernize the space and create a functional home for the young couple.

Throughout the episode, we see the designers face various challenges and setbacks. One designer struggles to find the right balance between modern and traditional elements, while another is forced to work within a limited budget. Kelly Hoppen is on hand to offer advice and guidance, pushing the contestants to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions to their design problems.

As the deadline approaches, the designers rush to complete their projects and present them to the judges. The homeowners are overwhelmed with emotion as they see their newly renovated home for the first time, and the judges are impressed with the creativity and ingenuity of the designs.

In the end, one designer is crowned the winner of the challenge, while another is sent home. The episode ends with the contestants reflecting on their experiences and the valuable lessons they have learned throughout the competition. They leave the village feeling inspired and motivated to continue pursuing their passion for interior design.
