- BBC1 makeover show Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr returned for its third series last night
- Designers were challenged to redesign luxury two-bedroom apartments in a Manchester high-rise
- Fans were baffled by a palm print room, saying it looked like a ‘beach hut’ and ‘Blanche Devereux’s bedroom’

Viewers of Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr were left baffled by a contestant’s ‘crazy beach bar aesthetic’ as the popular home renovation show returned last night, and compared it to ‘Blanche Devereux’s bedroom’.
Budding interior designers were challenged with redesigning two-bedroom apartments in a chic Manchester high-rise.
In teams of two, they had to reimagine a bedroom, home office and living area in a way that communicated their personal aesthetic, as well as demonstrated compromise.
Fans were baffled by some of the results, with hair salon owner Peter Anderson’s palm print bedroom proving particularly divisive.

Tropical dream? Drawing inspiration from ‘Ibiza and the Bahamas’, Peter opted for a palm print wall and blue paint
Impressed: Judge Matthew Williamson was blown away by Peter’s design decisions and hailed it a ‘gorgeous’ space
One tweeted: ‘That leaf wallpaper would not be calming for a nice nights sleep Peter! #InteriorDesignMasters.’
Another posted: ‘Peter need to calm his a** down with this crazy beach bar aesthetic.’
A third added: ‘I have some concerns about the Bahama/Ibiza theme. Bamboo? #InteriorDesignMasters.’
But judges Michelle Ogundehin and Matthew Williamson felt the opposite and were blown away by the confident design.
Williamson exclaimed: ‘Oh my goodness, I love this space! It’s gorgeous. I love how bold and confident it is… What was a really dull, dead space. That’s quite amazing. It’s lovely, isn’t it?’
The judges were similarly effusive about the work done by Peter’s design partner, Fran.
Criticism: Viewers were divided over the space, with some comparing it to Golden Girls’ Blanche’s palm bedroom
The pair were awarded the top spot, with Ogundehin and Williamson saying they: ‘Showed real design savvy, making the space work harder without compromising any of the style or fun.’
The other design that proved divisive was the bedroom by Reading-based Dean Powell, who opted to decorate in shades of sage and mint green.
One tweeted: ‘Dean has created the sort of bedroom you only ever see on The Circle #InteriorDesignMasters.’
Another compared it to a ‘celery asylum’.

Questionable: Some viewers were unconvinced by the colours in Dean’s sage and mint bedroom
Once again, the judges felt differently, and invited Dean and his partner to return next week.
Other viewers were completely baffled by the rooms in general, with one comparing it to ‘Blue Peter’.
Another posted: Others noted very few of the designs seemed practical, with one writing: ‘So where do you put your clothes in the bedrooms? Where do you put the ironing board and hoover? Where do you put all the crap of life? #interiordesignmasters.’
Eventually Richard was sent home. The designer, known for his bold murals on Instagram, had been confident with his ‘retro modern’ style but it did not impress the judges who thought it looked ‘two dimensional’.

Williamson said: ‘You’re an artist, a painter. But this is a very different discipline, doing a 3D space, and I think that’s been a tricky transition for you.’
Ogundehin added: ‘You did so much right but it’s bigger. Interior design. It’s hard. It’s really hard.’
Next week the designers will be challenged to redesign bedrooms in a boutique hotel.
Contestants on Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr are competing to win their first official commercial contract, with the Watergate Bay Hotel in Cornwall.
Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr continues next Monday at 9pm on BBC1.
