This week House Rules Delieved its most diverse reaction to a house ever.
Teams set out with some very clear House Rules from Tim and Mat.
| House Rules | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rule 1 | Fuse industrial with sleek | |||||||
| Rule 2 | Choose timber, terrazzo & steel | |||||||
| Rule 3 | Be cool with blue & green | |||||||
| Rule 4 | Add warmth with furnishings | |||||||
| Rule 5 | Bring Melbourne style with a graphic edge | |||||||
MIKAELA & ELIZA (WA) Master bedroom and laundry
Jamie (Master bedroom) Are we thinking this just a tad over lit? I mean there’s 16 lights in this room.
LLB (on the laundry) There is nothing wrong with ignoring a House Rule if you can come up with something so stunningly better, but what Mikaela & Eliza have done is something even worse.
Wendy (on breaking the House Rule) Where is all the blue and green?
Score 15/30
SHAYN & CARLY (QLD) Mud room, dining and bathroom
Jamie (on the divider between the mudroom and entry) It’s looks like something built for the outdoors.
LLB (on the mud room) I’m not sure a house this size needs its own duty-free shop just as you come through the door.
Wendy (dining room) I really like the idea and I think it’s very, very close to being perfectly executed.
Score 26/30
PETE & COURTNEY (VIC) Isabella’s room and kitchen
Jamie on Isabella’s room) I think this is beautiful.
LLB It’s an incredibly grown-up design scheme that’s been made relevant for Isabella.
Wendy This is a kitchen to be proud of.
Score 23/30
KATIE & ALEX (NSW) Entry, hallway and lounge room
Jamie (hallway screen) I do like that screen. I think that with the light coming down on it is beautiful. It has a nice floating LED underneath it.
LLB The more you look, the more time you spend here, the worse it gets. There’s nothing sleek about it, there’s nothing industrial about it.
Wendy (on the entry) In the right space this is fabulous light, but in here, I hate it!
Score 14/30
LISA & ANDY (SA) Ensuite, WIR and den
Jamie (on the den) I love the roof, I like the lights, don’t; mind the mural.
LLB (on the TV) this is a den, somewhere to watch a sporting occasion. The best sporting occasion to watch on that is competitive origami – it is the smallest thing!
Wendy I’m getting to the point of absolute frustration that the teams have just ignored the House Rules. I feel like they’ve just decided that black is more stylish than what Tim and Mat actually wanted.
Score 16/30
Last night (May 27)
Brothers and professional chippies Tim & Mat returned to see the reno on Tim’s 1950’s weatherboard cottage. Despite the judges’ frustration with the teams not following the House Rules, Tim was overcome with emotion, needing a moment to compose himself upon seeing his new family home. Pete & Courtney’s zone, made up of Isabella’s room and the kitchen – which Tim praised as the “humdingers of all humdingers” – particularly impressed the pair with the brothers awarding Pete & Courtney a perfect score of 10.
