The Block room reveals week 3: master bedroom and walk in robe

By Olivia Shead โ€ข Leave a Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Last night sawย five incredibly different master bedrooms and walk-in robes revealed. Caro and Kingi wereย keen for a win after coming second place two weeks in a row. But it seems the couple are destined toย always be theย bridesmaid and never the bride, coming in second… again! Gold Coast girlsย Suzi and Vonniย scored an incredible 30/30 and for Whitney and Andy it was quite the heartbreaking result, with the team not completing their rooms in time.

So, what did the judges think?

Kingi and Caro:ย 27.5, 2nd place

Desperate for a win, this week the Townsville couple decided to take some risks in the form of a large nib wall (to change the orientation of the room) and a beam on the ceiling to create symmetry. While the judges initially thought the room may not have been big enough for a nib wall, they were all quickly convinced. Shaynna in fact thought it felt quite spacious, but believed the wall needed something like a sideboard to break it up visually.

H1_R3-13

All the judges loved the rendering on the wall and ceiling. They thought the art was spot on and believed the colours were referenced beautifully and subtly in the furnishings. Neale particularly liked the little nook with the desk, but soon realised the desk had been set too high. Shaynna thought theย retro chair and Asian side table in the corner didn’t mesh with the rest of the design and that the pendant above the bedhead was unnecessary.

H1_R3-9

Into the walk-in robeย and theย judges thought it was sexy and cool. Darren loved the open feel and the ottoman and mirror. Neale thought the artwork was great and was glad the couple had resisted their go-to graffiti decor.

H1_R3-19

— Our picks to buy:ย Geo Flynn Black Mirror |ย Graffiti Art Canvas | Plank Oak Clock

Whitney & Andy: 18.5, last place

Theย Melbourne couple started the week out inspired, designingย an innovative Scandinavian bed frame. However, the delays started from there and the week turned into an absolute shocker! Theirย problem? Time management and a lot of time running around but not enough time on the tools. Luke and Ebony’s last-minute dash to help them out made a difference, but in the endย it was all too little too late and the rooms were left unfinished.

H2_R3-8

Upon entry the judges were immediately disappointed: “What a shame!” Darren thought their idea was terrific but the execution was terrible. Neale liked that they had listened to what the judges has said last week and made the room more sophisticated. But in the end they all agreed that the couple had only delivered half a room.

H2_R3-21

The walk-in robe was no better, with paint and plaster on the carpet and unfinished cabinetry. The advice from the judges: “Treat every hour like it’s your last.”

— Our picks to buy:ย Cracked Log Lamp | Rug |ย Grey Knitted Blanket

Suzi & Vonni: 30, first place

Last week the girls’ over the topย design split the judges down the middle and it was so expensive that Scotty had to step in with a budget warning! But a win in the bedhead challenge was a massive boost, with the duo scoring $10,000 worth of cabinetry. So it’s safe to say the girls didn’t hold back!

H3_R3-12

“Wow!” said Darren upon entry. Neale agreed, “They really know how to pull something different out of the bag every week”. Neale feltย like he had walked into a very sophisticated gentleman’s club. And he meant that in a good way! All the judges loved the gentleman’s library and bar and thought the whole space felt like a luxurious hotel suite.

H3_R3-9

Darren loved the palette, the colours, the material and the art. Neale thought the room was perfectly resolved and hisย only fault was that they should have spray painted the aircon grate above the door.

H3_R3-21

The walk-in robe continued with the glamour. All the judges loved the layout and thought it was very high-end. “I wouldn’t change a thing!” said Shaynna.

— Our picks to buy:ย Louis Armchair |ย Namibia Cushionย | Horn/Shell Bottle

Luke and Ebony: 22, 4th place

For the WAย brother and sister, last week’s scores pushed them into design confusion. Last for two weeks in a row and with no clear style in mind, the siblings tried very hard to step it up this week.

http---prod.static9.net.au-_-media-TV-T-The-Block-Octogon-Latest-Week-3-master-bed-reveals-H4_R35.ashx

“This is a lot more glamorous,” said Shaynna. Neale felt like it was a grown up version of last week’s room and had personality in spades. But Darren felt it didn’t work, believingย the room to beย too angular. Shaynnaย also wasn’t a fan, saying the room had three styles that unfortunately didn’tย mesh.

http---prod.static9.net.au-_-media-TV-T-The-Block-Octogon-Latest-Week-3-master-bed-reveals-H4_R318.ashx

Into the robe and things got worse. The judges felt the walk-in didn’t match with the bedroom or bathroom; with grey timber laminate in the robe, all black in the bedroom and navy in the bathroom! Shaynna thought the joinery would have been better off darker and that the whole master suite feltย unresolved and clashed.

http---prod.static9.net.au-_-media-TV-T-The-Block-Octogon-Latest-Week-3-master-bed-reveals-H4_R38.ashx

— Our picks to buy: Golden Candleย |ย Prussian Waves |ย Kate Vase

Dean & Shay: 23, 3rd place

With two winsย in a row, Dean and Shay were the team to beat. This week their dilemma was whetherย to play it safe or not. And safe they went, opting for a huge timber bulkhead and a pop up TVย as their secret weapons.

H5_R3-1-2

“It’s definitely cool,” said Darren upon entry. “It looks like they’ve opened up a trend book and gone tick tick tick.” But as the judges agreed, that just made the roomย lack individuality! As Neale perfectly put it: “Nobody’sย going to walk in and say ‘I don’t like it’, but is anyone going to come in and say ‘wow’?”

H5_R3-11

Neale wasn’t excited by the TV and Shaynna thought the bench seat was an uncomfortable waste of space. Darren felt the roomย needed to be much more sophisticated and that instead it was just very safe.

H5_R3-17

In the walk-in robe, things improved. “This is bloody beautiful,” said Darren. The colour palette, brass hangers and symmetry were loved by all. Neale thought the space was a notch above the bedroom. However, heย didn’t like the replica chair and thought the finishings were a bit too shabby.

— Our picks to buy: Plant Stand | Flower Jar Set |ย Eskimo Cushion

What a fab, yet sympathetic, makeover of this untouched (but not in a good way!) 50s house by @sellinghousesaus See all the rooms on the blog now via link in bio.

Great use of small space and working with the retro feel of the home while still modernising it.

There's nothing like ticking off little jobs! We f There's nothing like ticking off little jobs! We finally knocked out our 60s brown tile back step and replaced it with a smaller grey one made from @trexcompany Island Mist decking to match our deck (that went in 4.5 years ago) and now painted brick exterior. Making the step smaller allowed us to add in an additional manhole under the back door too to allow easier access under the house at the back. And we made a cover for that too (final slide) using Trex. I say "we" but I really mean our handyman ๐Ÿ˜‰ One plank was enough for both jobs. Why we didn't do this ages ago I do not know but it's done now! ๐Ÿ˜ Installed with @trexrainescape to ensure it stays dry and lasts!

Disclosure: Plank of Trex decking was gifted. I paid for the handyman.

Me and @fantasticfurniture go WAY back! When I fir Me and @fantasticfurniture go WAY back! When I first came to Australia in my 20s, it's where I headed to buy everything I needed for my first apartment at an incredible price! And I've loved watching the range get more and more impressive over the years as my knowledge of furniture has increased. I had no idea how extensive their Aussie Made sofa range was though. I'd love you to check out the options via link in bio as I think you'll be impressed! I think we have a renewed appreciation for Aussie Made and supporting local manufacturing and jobs and this is a great success story. We love a bit of high low decorating, and turns out Fantastic Furniture is a great place to find your family lounge, a special accent chair, an extra ottoman for occasional seating and so much more.

How gorgeous is this Brisbane kids' bedroom?! 

@brittwhitestudio worked closely with the boys (aged 7 and 9) to understand their needs with a bespoke bunk bed solution crafted by BRC Cabinets, featuring ample storage as well as an under-stair hidey-hole, a useful reading nook for books and a built-in charger for electronics. Local craftsmen Emmettโ€™s Ropes designed and hand-tied the ropework on the top bunk and the supporting pillar beneath.

What do you reckon? You'd think it would be overkill but it isn't because so many of the designs are subtle yet still impactful.

Head over to the blog to see how @grafico_walls transformed this blank canvas Melbourne townhouse with their products, which you've probably seen on The Block over the years. And read how Damian Corney has grown this Melbourne business with wife Adele and a growing team. There's also a look inside the very cool Motley Hotel which has used a whopping 4km of their wallpaper throughout!

You can also watch a video tour with Bec Douros as the house featured on Open Homes Australia over the weekend.
