While this programme is for some reason addictive it's also slightly ridiculous. It seems whatever budget the participants say they have is immediately scoffed at by Lucy Alexander. No matter how high, it would seem it's never enough. Are the homeowners in the programme incapable of doing any DIY themselves in order to save cash? It would seem so. It would also seem they are incapable of sourcing anything themselves to stay within budget. On occasion I could have kitted out my whole house with some of the budgets destined for just one room! While I enjoy watching for ideas, it's generally teamed with me sourcing things on my iPad for a lot cheaper than on this programme. All I can say is they must employ the most expensive tradesmen for the programme because otherwise I struggle to see where some of these inflated budgets disappear to!!!

Could be better

Am always up for renovations on a budget, but although this programme does produce some good results and ideas at times, it never tells you WHERE you can source them from! I.e they will compare three types of tiles, one being very expensive, another substantially cheaper, but don't tell you where to buy them from!!! Very irritating.
One big lie

Absolutely disgraceful

It may be wiser to find a real professional designer as a host. Someone creative who really knows about color and design. The host here obviously not trained or experienced in this department. Of all the british home improvement shows, this is definitely the worst. Bad taste and bad designs are really painful to watch.
