 Search for a home on any device, any time, anywhere. Private Property, a home for everyone. We can! Good afternoon everybody and welcome to Winner Home on Afternoon Express brought to you by Private Property on this glorious Friday afternoon. My name is Danilo Acquisto and as you know by now on Friday's Afternoon Express hosts SA's premier interior design reality competition where we follow three design dealers as they decorate three cluster homes at the Stonecourt's development at the Eye of Africa estate in Johannesburg. Now in the finale of the competition one lucky viewer will win their choice of one of these completed homes and if you enter it could be you. We are now exactly halfway through the transformation of these houses from empty spaces into these lavish homes and last week the design dealers learned which room was next on the to-do list. So let's have a quick look back to get you up to speed. Previously on Winner Home the design duos had to wipe the slate clean for a new challenge. You'll be decorating and designing the master bedroom. To get some design and product inspiration the duos paid a visit to design expos in Joburg and got some much needed motivation from the fans. It's good to be appreciated for your work. What you see on the TV is what you get in person, they are fabulous. As for the design process there were some concerns at the halfway mark. We're not sure if we're going to keep it or take it out. I'm a bit worried about the paint being done on time because usually at this point we way past the painting phase. And yet one quirky duo still found time for a little silliness but it can't all be fun and games. Will these master bedrooms be the stuff of sweet dreams or a nightmare to finish? The design duos are competing for the judges approval and to win 100,000 rand as the best designers. But if you vote for your fan favourites they could win an additional 20,000 rand. Now if they get both the judges vote and yours at home they walk away with the full 120,000 rand. So there's a lot at stake for the design duos and we can only hope that the stress doesn't get the better of them on the final day of the master bedroom challenge. On the final day and our carpet is in, our bed has been delivered. We have to assemble it. We're quite worried about it. The bed has to be assembled in the bedroom. It's quite a heavy bed. You can assemble it in another room and carry it into the bedroom. So Paul, this is what we received from Nicholas. What are your thoughts? It's very small. That's what I think. And heavy. I expected something bigger. Something that was going to fill up like the entire, you know, top of the bed I feel like it's too small. I don't see it working. And luckily I got to call Heidi at the very last hour. Is it Heidi for E? Yes, Heidi for E. And luckily she said she has old work that she did for her past exhibitions and she thought this could work for us. This is lovely. I love this. This is beautiful. So she was actually happy to show us a variety of her old works that we could select from and she was very pleased to give us something. This is lovely. I think it will work better and it picks colours from almost everything it has in the room. I love it. Hi, back to work. While Team House and Leisure chooses artwork, Team VC still has paintwork being done in their master bedroom. We've got most of our things together but we still have a few details that we really want to get right. I'm still not sure about the wallpaper. It's amazing but yeah. There's an ongoing battle. I feel like I should just paint the wall but I can't. The wallpaper looks nice but I'm not too sure if it's right for the bedroom. I think we should keep it. We are using Caesar Stone in our bedroom as a service slash console and in this space I think it's actually quite a good investment. It's very good. Because it's 100% made of Caesar Stone. It's actually an amazing product that we have. Look at that. The Caesar Stone almost gave me a heart attack when it refused to enter there. It's quite heavy and I'm proud that the guys put it in quite well but here's the thing. It nearly gave me a heart attack. Our curtains have been made. Custom made. Custom made by one of our girls. We bought a rail as well. The rail's too long for the curtains. Oh the curtains became shorter in projection than the rail because we bought the rail so they could keep the actual measurement of how long it's supposed to be. Sending short runnings long and we need to make them fit. The poles bigger than the curtains. And we're trying to sort this out. So it's either we un-pick those goblets and make it long. Yes baby, if you un-pick those goblets it will work. So you're going to un-pick the curtains. If I have to. Or you're going to chop up that pole. That's my better knife. You've put up jokes but at the wrong time. To become a week's joke. I think we should bring this in. And then the pole. And then the pole. The problem is the pole, babe. It's not anything else. It's the pole. The pole is longer than the curtain. So you either make the curtains longer or you shut the front door. We can't make the curtains longer. You can. If you un-pick those goblets it expands. Those goblets it's taking in all that fabric to gather it. So it's either you do that or you cut that rail. It's actually that simple. Catch it. Cut what? The rail. Well you've got five minutes. Can you step in on my nerve? Get me James. He always said this last minute. That's the way to do it. The best ideas come at the eleventh hour. Just the implementation might not arrive with it. There's a fine line between perfection and clarity. And where was I? I was walking on that tight road. Between the clumsy and fine line. We decided to paint the table because we already had the dresser and the side table and it looked the same. So just to like make them look different. The idea was to break the similarity between the two of them and have them like two different pieces. And also just to take it away from being a retail piece and into a more personal piece. Well we've used the moth mist colour which is a beautiful French khaki sort of colour. It blends in with the vanilla nore. If you look at the grains of the caesar stone vanilla nore it picks it up a little bit in there. So we've used it in our bathroom and we'll continue it in our master bedroom. And we're putting it absolutely everywhere. Yeah. Ceilings, corners, walls. Accept the furniture like the first challenge. We should have done. Yeah. No. We've got to get this king size bed into the bedroom. We hope it fits. We've got our muscle men here and they're going to help us get it in. Let's do this. Let's go. Sadness, we feel amazing. We didn't think a king size would fit into the doorway. It's a big relief. Absolutely. Hallelujah. Now we can lay the bed. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We chose caesar stone for our self-help side table because it's water and dust resistant and it's perfect that you now don't need placements on your table. It's a real tongue twister because you have to say self, help, side, table and remember all that. If you like what you see so far, remember that one of these homes could be yours.

Share your thoughts with us on social media using hashtag WinnerHome, we'd love to hear from you. Now being quite curious to see how things were coming along, I thought I'd quickly pay them a visit as they finished up the challenge. With that all-important 5pm deadline fast approaching for the master bedroom, I'm expecting some exquisite design. Except this time I'm not even allowed inside. That's right! Stay out! Fine, but you guys can take a sneak peek. Come take a look. Well now you can see what we told the Nilo to shut the front door and stay on the outside. We've never got much more to go. Yeah, this season's doing guys are magicians. They're gonna be done in like two tic-tac turns that'll be done. And then we need to be done in tic-tac turn to make that bitch. And then get out of here before we get cut out! Nilo, it was not personal. We love you girl, but it went no, no, shut the front door, shut the side doors. We need to finish up as quick as we can so that when you do come in at the end. So Team House and Leisure made their paint change, had lots of installation still to do and we're feeling very nervous about finishing on time. That 5pm deadline is fast approaching. Take a look. No, no, no, Nilo, you can't come in. A white carpet is in here. The reason why Nilo can't come in here is because we just cleaned our carpet and we are rolling now. And we just shot off putting our eye check at the top and also drilling the mirrors and accessorising the sides as well, but then otherwise everything is looking good. We're quite happy. An explosion of colour is the only way I know how to describe Team VC's master bedroom. And with all of those big decisions finally made, all that's left for them to do is polish up. We hope. Let's take a look. And they've locked me out. Danilo is not allowed into our house. We don't want to hear anything of anything. Yeah, we don't look, no ticking balls. Like, we just... We need to work now. Put outside, not in our bedroom. We need to work, so Danilo was just waiting five minutes. But I think the mirrors need to go here. Like, look how beautiful this will look. And they add something, you know, to the room, especially on this side. What do you think? I get your point, but I think maybe we should maybe look at this round mirror. It looks lonely when it's looking like this. Maybe it should have like two small mirrors or three. No, this is not a mom's room. There's no babysitting that needs to happen. Let's put them here. Here, look, beautiful. OK, we're going to have them there. The final few minutes are for the finishing touches, where the duos make sure the space is styled and ready to wow the judges. Shortly before the design contestants were due to complete their master bedrooms, they didn't even want to let me inside their homes. So it gives me great pleasure to know that it's five o'clock and they should be done right about now. We have run out of time and we're running out of our unit. And we are happy that we finished everything that's spot on. So, yeah, we are not quite worried about anything now. We're just looking forward to hear that we get the extra money. Ending the challenge with a smile is always a good sign, especially where budgets are concerned. Besides sponsored products and services to the value of over 350,000 rand per design duo, there were also each allocated a 300,000 rand cash budget for the entire house, which allows them to apportion this as they see fit. Now, Team Habitat had already spent a sizeable 161,000 rand of their 300,000 rand cash budget so far, the most of the three teams and therefore allocated a very modest 25,000 rand for the master bedroom. With their bathroom wind, they ended up with 28,000 rand to spend and did pretty much exactly that. This cost-conscious allocation means that they still have 114,000 rand left for the kitchen, garden and the living room. Team VC had spent 148,000 rand before tackling the master bedroom and therefore decided to apportion 50,000 rand to this room. In the end, they spent 48,000 rand on the room saving two so the amount left in their overall budget is 104,000 rand. Team House and Leisure had been the most modest with their budget allocations of the first three room challenges and winning the two consecutive challenges provided them with a cash injection so they splashed out by budgeting 57,000 rand on their master suite. However, a miscalculation with their hefty contractable for the big bathroom remodel and other overspending plus going over the master bedroom budget by an extra 8,500 rand meant that they are left with only 85,000 rand for the kitchen, garden and living room. Goodness you two, how on earth are you going to get out of this situation? The design duos still have three more spaces to decorate including the kitchen which is the most expensive space in the home. They'll have to work very carefully with their money, one team in particular or there could be some sleepless nights ahead. Now winning the master bedroom challenge will definitely boost one design duos budget but before the judges come along to survey the designs with their bedroom eyes let's enjoy the first of these beautiful spaces as Team House and Leisure reveal their completed sanctuary. Soft, restful and peaceful retreat were the words that inspired Team House and Leisure's master bedroom which is a continuation of their modern minimalist approach. Whoa! You can just feel the luxury as you walk into the space. So much so, I've had to take my shoes off just to feel it beneath my feet. If you've all done this, it feels like I'm in a marshmallow. Thank you so much Danielo, we are happy that's what you think because that's exactly what we're trying to achieve. Seeing as I feel like I'm sitting on a cloud, I want to know what the dreams were that you had for this room and the things that you loved the most. Starting with the finishes, we tried to bring in the same cupboard we have in our spare room into the main bedroom which is a Belgatex vogue pool, very luxurious underfoot and soft. And then we changed the wall colour since the judges didn't like it the first time around. Actually I'm pretty glad that they didn't like it because this turned out much better and warmer. And then we have kittens to match the wall colour. We tried to improve from what we had in our first bedroom. Which we heavily criticised on because they didn't like the quality. And the length as well. So this time around we got it right that it just drapes but not too much. And also with the wall colour we had to complement the kitten as well. Now a little birdie told me that a couple of bespoke pieces were thrown into your room. What are they? What I have on my side, it is a side table that we bought off the shelf. At the lamp they were like separate and then we tried to make them one thing just to complement what Banaleh has on his side. And then with our dresser we decided to change the colour of the top and paint it in a plus gone velvet glow. We were last criticised about plants in the space so we decided to just turn it down this time around and only have a cut of an orchid. And also because we have plants here, we didn't include any further. The plants were also an issue because of privacy and you guys haven't solved that issue either. That is true. So our initial plan for the space was actually to break the wall so that you could read the whole room as one. And with the plants it became the fence that gives you the space from the other side but also I think it's a contemporary way of looking at spaces and how people interact. And another reason why we left out the screen is that we wanted the judge to have like a second look at the space with the two together and then if they still don't like it, we'll relook into solving that privacy problem. Let me have my Oprah moment quickly because I want to know how you guys are feeling honestly about going into this challenge. You took some advice, some of the other advice, you just quiet out the window. We're quite confident about how the space turned out and we're really happy with that. But then the only thing that might be a little bit of a concern is the fact that we ignored the whole privacy thing which we didn't really ignore but then it was for them to have a view of the two spaces. I'm actually more relieved after we lost the last challenge because then there was too much pressure on winning. So this time around we just cut back on the stress of winning and also just on the accessories. Like we had three shelves but we're like, no let's have two. So all the time we're just cutting back like not too much but keeping it simple and minimal. As we continue to reveal the completed bedrooms please share your thoughts and comments using hashtag winner home and you could enjoy behind the scenes photos and moments by following Winner Home on social media. Now after the break Team VC and Team Habitat reveal their master bedrooms don't go anywhere. For a good reason. Welcome back, this is Winner Home on Afternoon Express. Now everybody loves a comfortable, sexy and luxurious master bedroom. However, designing this all important space isn't a bit of roses. Team VC had their fair share of uncertainty and indecision so did they finally put their worries to rest and create a dream master bedroom? Let's see. Designing for a fictional client who is young and creative Team VC endeavoured to create a master bedroom that is chic and sophisticated with a high contrast colour palette. Wow, wow, wow guys. This is a master bedroom I could call home. Amazing, good job. Thank you, thank you. So some big decisions had to be made. I see the wallpaper stayed, I see there's a new carpet. Talk us through what happened between the halfway market now. We decided that we had made a bit too many amazing choices. So we decided to tone it down and we got a beautiful new rug so that our focal point can be then the wallpaper and obviously our lovely curtains. What about your fictional character that live in this space? Because remember somebody's going to have to move in here. We mentioned a young guy who's quite passionate about Africa and who likes to travel. So in this space we tried as much as we can to do it, not a European style, but a little bit of African feel so that we can create our own African design style. So being the team that hasn't yet won a challenge, the judges are going to really want to know how much effort you've put into the advice they've given you from the previous challenges and that advice had to do with the balance of your spaces. How have you managed to balance this room? What we had, which we used to our advantage was this beautiful big round mirror. And we also tried to balance it out with smaller elements to make up the large elements. Like those round small mirrors, if you look at the pendant and also the bedside lamp, they look the same but they're not from the same shop. So in that kind of a thing, they have the same volume. That's how we balanced it quite well. And the four-poster bed, it doesn't look too big in the room. It's actually nice accommodated. Looking at our server there made from caesar stone. It's actually also nice with three different types of caesar stone, like we used all of honey lando, we used what is it called? Oh, cat's a little room. Yeah, and in a cat's country as well. Each judge has a different personality, so what do you think that they're going to love about this space? I think the judges are going to love that our room doesn't look like a cat's lock anymore and that we're also going to love the balancing of it, how we used the orange kittens, the softness of the room, also the paint from floor, the skating to the ceiling. So everything in here, it's quite nice. Well, cat's like being a female. I would say she'd love our bed. I know as a female that I love to melt into a big, beautiful, luxurious bed and just melt away into a cloud of sleep. I also think that Donald would like our collaboration pieces because it has an African-yet-contemporary feel and it's not necessarily his style, but I do think he would appreciate it. I'm so in love with your master bedroom, but it's always going to be about the details. And one detail I noticed had to do with light. You mentioned there's going to be quite dark with these curtains in here and all your other lights become very handy, except for one. So I spotted that this was off. And if you try to turn it on, nothing happens. And then I discover... What's going on here? Well, the plug point is on top, but... In there? Yeah, in there. So you'd have to shove this underneath up the top and then have this cable popping up. No, the aim is to put it down there, but because it's expensive to do that, so we can't afford it. Yeah, at the moment we can't afford to put in a plug point there. It's honestly minor. I don't think the judges will even spot it. The space is looking amazing. The balance is incredible. I want to call this place home. Well done, you two. From Team VC's contemporary expression of African design, it's on to a space that wants to literally bring a touch of the wild into the bedroom. Team Habitat have infused their signature flamboyants into a room that they're calling the Lion's Den. Team Habitat set out to design a master bedroom that would roar with an eclectic mix of textures, patterns and materials, and be fit for African royalty. I always say, how can someone not want to live in this bedroom? I mean... No, it's to die for. It's a dream. It's a dream. We are would love it. A very good afternoon to you and welcome to the Lion's Den. My name is Danilo Acquisto and my guests on the show today, Brad and Abia from Team Habitat. Welcome to the show, you two. Hi! Thank you for having us. Thank you. It literally feels like I'm on the set of a talk show. Absolutely. You're hosting live from the bedroom. A bedroom with a roar! So this is the Lion's Den. You guys have created something amazing. It feels luxurious. There's lots of elements to it. Talk us through them. Sure. Well, I'll start with the lighting. We've got three chandeliers to just bring in some real lighting. The two at the back by the bed have dimmers, so you can set the tone, the mood, all of that jazz. And we wanted quite a presidential feel. High-end. Absolutely. You know, with the pillars on the side of the bed, the wallpaper. The Caesar stone bed cladding. Like we were going for days of our lives in terms of that silky... It's like Brooke's bedroom. It's a silky, sexy, and it's like, if you've got a man in there, he ain't never gonna leave! Right, so the judges often give you guys feedback about a sort of high extravagant you tended to go with your rooms. I mean, this one looks quite busy still. Well, for us, we feel like it's quite... Demure. Yes. We've reeled ourselves in quite a lot and left out a lot of pop-jay out. And more statement pieces that, with a lux feel, we wanted an expensive, luxurious master bedroom. Well, when you talk about luxury, often it's about the detail. And I've spotted with all these big ideas that you've had, a couple of details are missing. Like, what happened to that gold thing over there, that chip paint in the... Not meeting the bottom of the wall there? What's happening there? A lot. The thing is, we added this, obviously, at what? The 10th hour. The 10th hour, not even the 11th hour, but 12th hour. So, it still could do with like a varnish and a little tweak here and there. But for me, it's like putting such an element in the bedroom, the judges should, I don't know, love that. And yes, they can nitpick, but it's... You know, we can nitpick after with our contractives and make them re-touch. The space is very unique, which means you guys have chosen a lot of bespoke items to put in here. So, talk us through some of your favourites. Well, the chair that you're sitting on is a second-hand chair. So, we've up-cycled those, got them re-sprayed, re-upholstered. The bedding which we had made with ladies from City of Joburg, the curtains as well. So, that has a nice woman's touch to the bedroom, a mother's touch. Let's have a quick moment for your pain technique that you got on the walls. It's quite different to the rest of the room. What was the thought plan? Yeah, we did come up with the patterns ourselves. We used different shades of Plascon. We used cashmere and double velvet. So, the one has a sheen, the other one has a mat. We tried to play with that textures. What we were going for was using the triangles to try and make the room look bigger. It's got an African element. Absolutely. When we started, we wanted to go into ballet, but I know as soon as the judges here in the ballet from us, they would think wall to wall. So, it was quite a demure take on an African print. Yeah. And it works out quite well because it's kind of looking like sunshine that's coming from behind the trees, which I think worked quite well. It does indeed. So, well done to both of you. The space is looking amazing. Thanks for joining me on the show today, you two. Thank you for hosting your show, and now, master baby! And thank you to you at home too. Hashtag with a home. Let us know your thoughts coming up next on the show. The judges come to the side. Because if it doesn't improve people's lives, it isn't Plaskon. Plaskon designed for life. Search for a home on any device, any time, anywhere. Private property, a home for everyone. It's good to have you back with us on winter home on afternoon express exclusively on SABC 3. Last we got a conversation about what it takes to go and buy a property to rent out and what are the pros and cons of that. And if you missed the episode, go and check it out on the Private Property website, privateproperty.co.za. And they've partnered with us at winter home on afternoon express to provide you with advice on the different aspects of property on estates. Now, after seeing some of the amazing estates on the show, I'm pretty sure that many of you would be interested in renting a property on an estate. So, today we're once again with Michelle Dickens, Managing Director of TPN Credit Bureau. Back in the loft with us today to chat about what it takes to and what you should expect rather when it comes to renting out a property on an estate. Michelle, welcome back. Afternoon, dad. So, last week we spoke about what it takes to buy and then rent those out. Let's focus on the, is it the lessy? The tenant side of things. Because it's something that we're not really sure of what our rights and responsibilities are, because the market is really slim and we're always looking for places to get. We don't want to limit our opportunities. I mean, what are the rights and responsibilities then of a tenant who's looking to rent on an estate? So, the tenant, obviously, once from an estate perspective, the lifestyle, the security, the amenities, access to all the fun stuff that the estate has to offer, but not having to pay the premium price that the buyer is going to pay. Also, the tenant's not going to be in for things like the levies. And as we know, estate levies can be quite pricey as well. So, it's about having the fun of the estate without having all the additional costs associated. But do I, however, have the same rights and responsibilities as an owner on that estate has? So, do I abide by the same rules? Can I use all the amenities like everyone else would? Absolutely. You have access to all the use of the estate. You're going to have your gate access control. You're going to have access to the facilities, like the golf course, running tracks, the cycling tracks in some of them, the equestrian side. And you're going to have to abide by exactly the same rules. And in fact, most landlords would request that you sign those body corporate rules or homeowner's rules as part of your lease agreement. That's quite important, because if you don't abide by the rules, then they're going to be looking for you for the fines that are going to follow. Let's ask the hard questions, because I think this is something that I'm fascinated by. I mean, if I choose to rent a property, I want to know what happens. What are the owners' rights over me? So, if I choose not to pay my rent, or perhaps I break one of the rules of the estate, what am I liable for? Tenant landlord disputes. Such a fun topic. So, tenants are liable to pay the rent in accordance with the lease agreements. Now, generally in an estate of lease of this nature, you're going to have a written lease agreement that determines the amount of rent that's going to be paid and the day that it needs to be paid. And the tenant needs to ensure that he complies with that part of the lease agreement. The body corporate rules or homeowner's association rules are going to be part of the lease agreement, so he's going to know what he can and can't do, speeding as an example. And if there's a fine attached to that rental statement on a monthly basis, he's going to need to pay that. The landlord has a right to collect the rent in terms of the lease agreement. Now, if the tenant doesn't pay because, for example, he feels the property is not being maintained, or he doesn't feel that he was speeding and therefore he's not going to pay the speeding fine, there are places that tenants and landlords go to mediate the dispute without just simply withholding rent in terms of, I'm not paying my rent because it's not being maintained. Really, the right of the tenant is to go to somewhere like the rental housing tribunal and get the dispute mediated. In terms of the landlords for non-payments of rents, the rental housing tribunal is not the place we go. There we go directly to the marriage or the high court in terms of, how do I ensure my tenant pays up? Okay, so I may not just remove amenities and cut off the water if the person's not paid for a couple of months? No, some fun stuff that we've had high court rulings are where landlords have denied access into the estate through the access control. That would be spaliation. No, you can't do that. It is a criminal offence to disconnect the utilities, the water, the lights, the electricity, lock out the tenants. You may not take the law into your own hands. So you're responsible to abide by the law but let the courts and the law take action. They're not yourself as a private individual. Fascinating. So it makes sense to rent on an estate if you're looking for all the lifestyle amenities to look after your safety, your family, if it's close to all the amenities you're looking for. And so renting itself is always a good way to go if you cannot afford to buy at this stage. Well, it's not always if you cannot afford to buy. Some people look at renting to say, well, I can get into a rental accommodation but I'm going to take the difference of what I would be paying for home ownership versus what I'm renting and put that into some sort of savings or investment where I can then at a later date get into this home ownership in any state that I desire. Sure, lovely. So it is really good, but do all your research. Michelle, thank you, thank you, thank you for coming to join us. Thanks, Dan. All right, so there you guys have it. You could be enjoying the estate lifestyle as a renter but should always be aware of the pros and the cons before signing any lease agreement.

Right, so these design duos may have completed their master bedrooms on time, but I'm telling you they will not be able to rest until those judges give their critique. Contestants, your fourth room challenge required a mastery of your design flair. The judges are here and they'll decide which team will sleep easy tonight and which will have nightmares. They are Cadlejo Conlo from Plaskon, Donald Moumalo and David Muirhead, the renowned designer. My name is David Muirhead. I'm an interior designer in Johannesburg. I enjoy an eclectic mix of design, but keeping my design really is capturing the essence of the individual. It's interpreting an individual. It's not always about interpreting your own style. It's more about listening, capturing the essence of the client and the needs of the client. It's always an honor to be judged by someone who's been doing what you are trying to do and doing great things. Absolute unity. All the guest judges are just amazing, but when it comes to David, he's traveled with us, so I'm quite scared because of his scene at all. I'm so excited, simply because he's like one of those designers that gave me a chance when I was still in university. When we had to find intentships, I was like that over-ambitious one. I wanted to work for a top building interior designer, so I made a short list and I tried contacting all designers, so David Muirhead got back to me. That was so exciting, so every time I see him, I become so excited. The first master bedroom visited by the judges belongs to Team VC. Can they impress these discerning design connoisseurs with their modern African style? The most thing that I think the judges are going to love about our room is the use of colour. David is going to love our project and the server. Kathleho must love our mirror. And Donald is going to love the kittens and the colour of the bent orange and also the rug and the four-poster bed. I love the fact that they've taken the colour all the way down from the actual skirting, all the way up to the ceiling, which brings it all beautifully together. I think the colour really captures the essence of this room. This wonderful African colour, the sunset colour, the accent cushions and the curting. The wallpaper is beautiful, but possibly a little bit contrasting to the accent detail of the pedestals. However, the whole room has got a wonderful essence of Africa and a beautiful contrasting texture. You know what I love? I love that this bed is so big and it's so present, but it doesn't feel domineering and also the colour. I just think that it looks so natural and adds a sense of nature into the space. And Donald, that mirror. Recipe for babies. My first impression is brilliant. There is functionality, there's practicality. There's a harmony about the room. My favourite aspect of this room is really the sense of proportions. The bed is quite present and beautiful and so are the pedestals on each side. I love that the developer print comes out in such an unconventional way. On furniture as well as how the caesar stone is used as a tabletop on the pieces of furniture. There are elements of design that I would not have thought of, but what I'm appreciating more about it now is how it links to that gorgeous bathroom that they did. So it makes a lot of sense. There's a cohesive feel to it. And more importantly, it's liveable. I possibly think we could have played with a darker colour on the walls to highlight this incredible pattern on the wallpaper. And it may have given the room a completely winning formula. I'm rather disappointed with the execution, with the curtains. I feel it just lets the room down. And the top of the curtains it just wasn't sitting properly at the top there. It looks a bit flimsy and sort of cheapens the look. But overall, because it's a velvet fabric it still looks glamorous but just how it's hung is really quite in it down for me. Team House & Leisure knows all about curtains spoiling a room. So they're hoping the judges appreciate the touches of luxury in their master bedroom. I think the judges are liking the full carpet in the room because I think we're the only team that use carpet. And the lights from the top, which look like candles during the day, I think that adds a bit of a mood to the room. And our proper selection of curtains this time around because we feel with the guest bedroom. I think they've redeemed themselves from last week, don't you think? There's a wonderful mood here. There's a wonderful mood. There's an ambiance. I absolutely love how soothing the space is. It just adds you and it just gives you a sense of kindness and peace. I'm still not sure about the toilet being so exposed to. The wonderful concept here of the division of the planting is so superb. However, I agree with you if we had maybe made the plants a little higher and possibly put the WC in an enclosure it would probably be a little more private. So overall it's really beautiful, great ambiance but certain practical aspects maybe need a bit of finishing. I just love that there's a desk here and that you can also look at yourself but I just the only thing I wouldn't do is have a coloured mirror because although it's a beautiful effect it's not very practical when you're putting on your makeup or looking at yourself. So you look darker. You look darker. No. Well fine for some people actually. Working to this room team house in Lege, I'm immediately transported to a place of just happiness. I think it's an exquisite room. Wow what a wonderful mood. There's something very special about the mood the colouration plays a huge role and that is the first impression so I would give that a hundred percent. My favourite aspect is the indulgent floorings. That indulgent cupboard you walk in feels like it just swallows you whole. A wall colour is exquisite, the curtains are beautiful, the bed just feels like one big cloud that you just want to jump in and go to sleep. I'm glad that they made the decision to transition from that meadow yellow that they used into the oyster catcher because it really just creates that softness that you need in a master bedroom. My least favourite aspect of the room is that the WC is not enclosed in that space. I have checked out of hotels before and found out that the WC opens to the bedroom so it's a very controversial design element. As much as we would like to create really beautiful exquisite interiors we have to look at the practical side of things because ultimately somebody has to live there. This room is missing a bit of privacy in terms of the pedestals. You need some way to put your box of tissues you need some drawer spaces just to hide those things that are unsightly and that you don't want to see. And with that the judges head to the bedroom, complete with Caesar stone pillars, chandeliers and touches of gold. We just hope that they fall in love with the energy the room gives you. And the daringness of each element like from the bed to the Caesar stone to how we played with the plastic card I mean we literally kept it quite the mirror but we played with every element in that room. The mirror bit striking with the dazzle and the Versace on the dance floor. Gosh. It really is a room of courage and what I love about it is we live in a world of such neutrality so calibre number and this really brings courage to the essence of the room. There's so many wonderful elements coming through here of an international exposure. It may not be our aesthetic as South Africans but it definitely conjures up an international expression. What I love most about the room and this could have been actually developed further is the coloration of the walls and the pattern which is a very clever way of interpreting and bringing in a new pattern without actually using a wallpaper. I agree with you. I believe in what they believe in. They're unapologetic about who they are and the execution says that all. However, I do feel that the touches, the finishing touches let them down, the quality. For example, the fabric on the curtains and the scatter cushions I feel they could have paid more attention to that. It's full of character. It's got a lot of personality. It's not a Pinterest room. Main bedroom should feel regal and special and should be the most important room in the home and I think this room feels like that. The application just doesn't feel that way. I think the only person that will be happy in this room is Liberace and he's dead. And Versace. And he's dead too. Oh, wow. You have not disappointed. You've stayed true to who you are and I'm proud to see that there is an element of editing. I mean, if I have a look at where we started with the spare bedroom and where we are now with the master bedroom I'm quite inspired by them. I enjoy the essence and the strength and courage of that room. And I feel in a world where everything is so neutral and people are so fearful to be courageous I admire the courage and I think there's a great future for that design team. My favorite aspect of this room is definitely that wallpaper. I think it creates an interesting focal point and also quite unusual for a main bedroom because usually main bedrooms would be tranquil but this is really quite engaging to the senses. What I don't like in this room because the size of the bed is just so majestic and the pedestals are so small I think that doesn't work and I think we need to really improve we need storage at the side of the bed. My least favorite aspect of this room is that the WC is still open to the bedroom which has a practical problem within a sleeping space. In any room we need bedside lamps so that we are able to read. I think the chandeliers are really beautiful therefore reading in the evening could be a bit of a problem. This room is a Versace Escape it's fabulous, it's fun and it definitely has a place. Wow, trust our judges to provide such honest and interesting feedback now with equal amounts of positive feedback as well as that constructive criticism of the three very different master bedrooms it's anyone's guess which design duo will be declared the winners. Share your predictions now using hashtag win a home. Dear contestants welcome back. Who will be the master of the master bedroom? The challenge is tight. Let's start with you team house and leisure. The judges felt like they had walked into a dream and just wanted to melt away in that bed of yours but the more time they spent inside your room the more they became uncomfortable with the space and once again the privacy issue came up. The judges loved your creative use of colour they loved the practicality of the space and they loved the flow from the master bathroom all the way into the master bedroom. However, the execution of your curtains let you down. In our previous critics and stuff like we tried to learn like getting the balance and stuff we think with this critic it's about making things more perfect so right now we know what the judges expect and we know how the challenges were and we take from now on no more mistakes. Team Habitat My favourite line was that the judges thought that you would have made Versace proud. They loved the international feel and the courageous design that you used. However, with all of your extravagant designs your detail and execution is what let you down. I feel like our critic is fair like in terms of that gold in our last minute thing so it can be, you know, touched up. Yeah. There can only be one winner however and I want to tell you that the judges had a very tough decision to make this time round. It was almost a tie. There can however only be one winner and the winner of the master bedroom challenge is Team VC Congratulations. I'm just cool with it. I've been waiting for the win from challenge one. Okay. I'm very excited for them. I'm excited and said at the same time that we didn't win. It looks excited. I am excited. I just don't look excited. It's only right that maybe now we will have a chance to take the crown home but it must be known from the get go that their crown belongs here with Team Habitat. Nice to give them a taste. Yes, just a taste but they must get too attached to that crown. I think it will be a bit heavy for them. There are interesting times ahead as the playing field is now leveled among the design duos. Next week they'll have to cook up some amazing ideas to design a space with all the right flavours to impress the judges. So do tune in next Friday at 4pm on afternoon express of the next design challenge. For me, I'd love to have a great rest of your weekend. Thanks for tuning in and we'll see you next week. Bye bye.
