Ep 6. Kid Clients

In the sixth episode of HGTV Design Star season 4, titled "Kid Clients," the remaining designers are tasked with designing a room for a special client: a child. The designers are partnered with children from a local children's home to create a space that reflects the child's personality and interests.

The designers are given a budget of $5,000 and two days to complete the project. They must also work with the child to ensure that the space meets their needs and desires. The judges will be looking for designs that are both functional and fun, while also being cohesive with the rest of the home.

The designers are immediately challenged by the unique needs of their clients. Some children have specific requests, such as a gaming area or a study space. Others have special needs that must be taken into consideration, such as sensory processing disorder or physical disabilities.

One designer struggles with their client's request for a princess-themed room, finding it difficult to create a space that is both feminine and sophisticated. Another designer finds themselves at a loss when their client requests a space for their beloved pet, a snake.

As the designers work on their projects, they must also confront personal challenges. One designer struggles to work within a budget, while another must learn to compromise with their partner and their client.

Throughout the episode, the designers receive feedback from both their partners and the judges. While some receive high praise for their creativity and attention to detail, others are criticized for not putting enough thought into their designs or for failing to meet the needs of their clients.

In the end, one designer is declared the winner of the challenge, while another is sent home. The remaining designers move on to the next challenge, one step closer to becoming the next HGTV Design Star champion.

Overall, "Kid Clients" is a heartwarming and challenging episode that showcases the designers' ability to work with a unique set of clients. It highlights the importance of listening to clients' needs and working within a budget, all while creating a space that is beautiful and functional.
