In this round of the first heat, retired actor and director Nicholas, marketing assistant James and event stylist Anna must each transform a living room in three Grade-11 listed former workers' cottages in the pretty town of Saltaire. Nicholas is reaching out to his spiritual side as his client wants a Zen-inspired relaxing consulting room, but he may have gone too far with an elaborate Japanese inspired scheme. Anna has to breathe new life into a lack-lustre living room for her client but will she be able to give it a modern masculine bachelor pad makeover? James also has a testing time trying to fulfill a Scandi brief for his homeowner, but can he finish it to his own high standards?
