WEEK 1:

MASTER BATHROOM

Fresh off the stress of pulling all their tiles off the walls and reapplying them, Britt and Taz are relieved when the judges start with praise for their tile choices. Darren is especially impressed, applauding their smart time- and budget-saving move to use wallpaper on some walls. Shaynna appreciates their use of fluting, a fresh colour palette, and the large skylight — but she’s less impressed with the vanity height, going so far as to bring out a prop to make her point. She’s also not a fan of the nickel tapware or, unsurprisingly, the vertical towel rails. Marty has issues with the wet area layout, calling the shower screen “minuscule” and the showerhead awkwardly positioned in the corner. “It just feels spatially really incorrect,” he says. While the room is well executed, he feels it lacks the charm and character of Daylesford. Thankfully, the judges wrap up with a few more positives — the bath is lovely, the curved tile shelf is “absolutely stunning,” and the overall finishing is close to perfect. A classic feedback sandwich.

WEEK 3:

MASTER ENSUITE

Britt and Taz’s separated wet and dry zones sparked debate, with Darren loving the vanity and storage, but Marty slamming the shower design as “an upmarket abattoir” that felt cold and unsettling. Shaynna criticised impractical towel rail placement yet appreciated the concept, while Darren strongly defended the space. In the end, the judges agreed the idea was brave but the execution fell short. What do you think?

Their central bed placement framed the view beautifully, and the overall palette was praised as sophisticated and harmonious. While small details like pendant lights, plants, and paintwork drew criticism, the room’s execution was strong enough that Marty still declared it the easiest sell of the day – a testament to the couple’s growing design confidence.

WEEK 9:

LAUNDRY, MUD ROOM, PANTRY & WC

Britt and Taz bounced back this week with five completed spaces that oozed bougie sophistication, earning praise for their dramatic pantry, “sexy” laundry, and cleverly styled mud room. Darren called the pantry layout the best way to handle the space, while Shaynna admired the love and polish poured into every detail, noting that buyers would feel it too. The only real miss was the lack of a fridge, but otherwise, the team delivered timeless appeal. In the powder room, Darren thought the pink tile choice was “gorgeous”, perfectly matched with floor-to-ceiling mirrors to create warmth and cosiness. Marty, ever the realist, said this was the first home he could picture himself buying — and with a gallery-like garage rounding out the back-of-house, the judges agreed it was a slam dunk for House 3.

Our Fortress Travertine Beige Hilite Silk Tile, a porcelain design that captures the warmth and charm of natural travertine, adding texture and timeless elegance to the teppanyaki benchtop.

BACKYARD & POOL

Britt and Taz turned their backyard into pure paradise — and it shows. With help from Block legend Troy Lovett, their lush, detail-rich outdoor space had the judges calling it “heaven.” From the cosy lounge by the stone fireplace to the whimsical creek and greenhouse, every element feels thoughtfully considered. The minimalist pool design is a standout, perfectly paired with Beaumont Tiles’ Crossland Match Extra Textured Tile in the cabana — a choice that ties the natural textures of the landscape with modern elegance. While the judges debated how the cabana could better function as a second living space, there’s no denying Britt and Taz have created a dream-worthy outdoor escape that captures both heart and style.
