Netflix has teamed up with the BBC for a competition format set in the world of interior design. The Svod service and the British public broadcaster are launching Project Interiors (w/t) from Endemol Shine’s Darlow Smithson Productions (Dsp).
The eight-part Bake Off-for-design series will see ten fledgling interior design stylists compete to win a life-changing design contract with a prestigious commercial client.
Across eight weeks, the designers will face eight different challenges where they must confront a new space to transform as they attempt to work their magic and show off their skills.
The designers will be working in teams, although they will be striving for a single prize, and they must revamp a wide range of different properties, from redesigning real businesses to reinventing family homes. They will have to manage fellow designers, a team of tradesmen and demanding clients, and at the same time work to exacting specifications and testing briefs.
