Backyard and Pool: Kyle and Leslie
Despite their incredibly big efforts, Kyle and Leslie received mixed feedback. The biggest issue was that the garden and pool wasn’t child friendly.
Backyard and Pool: Leah and Ash
<br.
The judges adored the BBQ area and the Plungie pool – perfect for a family.
Backyard and Pool: Kristy and Brett
While the judges loved the size of the Plungie pool, there was numerous negative feedback regarding the design choices and execution.
Backyard and Pool: Steph and Gian
Overall, Steph and Gian received incredible feedback for all the design choices, from the plants, pools and right down to the tiles.
Backyard and Pool: Eliza and Liberty
Unfortunately, the sisters did not receive great feedback as the judges were brutal this week. The furniture choice was slammed and the BBQ area felt like ‘a shed.’
Upstairs Bathroom: Kyle and Leslie
The biggest concern for Kyle and Leslie’s bathroom was the poor spatial planning, particularly the toilet and bath placement.
Upstairs Bathroom: Leah and Ash
All positive comments from the judges this week, noting it was one of Leah and Ash’s strongest efforts yet.
Upstairs Bathroom: Kristy and Brett
Not only was Kristy and Brett’s redo room incomplete, but so too was their upstairs bathroom. Kristy claimed it was ‘out of their control’ when Scotty responded ‘everything was in their control.’
Upstairs Bathroom: Steph and Gian
It was an amazing effort from Steph and Gian. The only critic was Shaynna’s concern regarding the lack of face level storage.
Upstairs Bathroom: Eliza and Liberty
The bathroom was a huge success with Darren and Shaynna, however, Neale believed the styling to be ‘juvenile’.
Kids Bedroom: Kyle and Leslie
The pair faced some tough criticism this week as the judges thought the basketball themed bedroom was too narrow a focus and may not appeal to a wider market. Plus, the judges were concerned that one of the rooms felt better than the Master Bedroom.
Kids Bedrooms: Leah and Ash
The climbing wall was a huge hit, including the disco ball and stage. However, the judges couldn’t understand why they chose to place a day bed in the girls room rather than a normal single bed.
Kids Bedrooms: Kristy and Brett
The bold wallpaper could divide potential home buyers, however, the judges came around to the idea. Brett’s paintwork also needed some extra care, but the judges loved the rooms overall.
Kids Bedrooms: Steph and Gian
The judges could not praise Steph and Gian’s room enough, it even scored three 10s!
Kids Bedrooms: Eliza and Liberty
The judges loved that the rooms would appeal to any kind of buyer. The only mistake Marty pointed out was the lighting in one of the rooms.
Master Ensuite: Kyle and Leslie
The overall ensuite was great, but there were some major functionality issues including the shower being too cramped and the shower grate position was wrong.
Master Ensuite: Leah and Ash
While the large shower was a major win, the overall styling was ‘juvenile’ in Shaynna’s opinion.
Master Ensuite: Kristy and Brett
The judges felt the bathroom connected well with the other rooms.
Master Ensuite: Steph and Gian
While this bathroom had great potential for social media, they didn’t love it. In fact, it reminded Marty of a “quarantine facility.”
Master Ensuite: Eliza and Liberty
The judges adored the bathroom and it was clear to see the room was well planned out. The only criticism was the positioning of the face level storage.
Kitchen and Laundry: Kyle and Leslie
The ceiling, the curves were a major hit, with Shaynna saying the space felt “sexy.”
While both rooms were functional, the floor plan for the butler’s pantry was wrong as it should have opened up to the backyard, which were the original plans.
Kitchen and Laundry: Leah and Ash
While the judges loved the materials used in the kitchen, the size of the island bench and the sink’s placement was an issue.
Plus, in order to access the laundry the home owner would have to walk through the bathroom which the judges felt was a major mistake.
Kitchen and Laundry: Kristy and Brett
Kristy and Brett were placed second behind the sisters as the judges adored the burgundy bench top and the sleek, modern and contemporary style.
However, the main concern was the size of the dining table and chairs alongside the island bench chairs.
Kitchen and Laundry: Steph and Gian
This kitchen’s aesthetics are perfect for Instagram, but is the space functional? The judges pointed out that by placing the cook top on the island bench could be messy and a safety issue. The butler’s kitchen also had functionality issues.
Kitchen and Laundry: Eliza and Liberty
The judges adored the bold orange oven, the size of the island bench, and the impressive storage space.
This is by far the best space the sisters have delivered yet.
Master Bedroom: Kyle and Leslie
While the textured bedhead was beautiful, the judges pointed out its lack of practicality as it could cause injury for sleepers.
The judges agreed the space wasn’t utilised as well as it should have, and while it was aesthetically pleasing the room wasn’t ‘liveable.’
Master Bedroom: Leah and Ash
The ceiling was a hit among the judges! However, the room was lacking furniture and functionality, nor was there enough storage.
Marty also said the burgundy colour of their walk-in wardrobe could date.
Master Bedroom: Kristy and Brett
The lighting plan was a mess for the judges, however Kristy and Brett expected that critique after some mishaps earlier in the week.
However, the judges did love the walk-in wardrobe and natural lighting.
Master Bedroom: Steph and Gian
This was the biggest Master Bedroom and walk-in-robe in Block history and it was a huge success among judges, securing them the win.
From the marble benchtop in the wardrobe to the second living space, the entire room screamed luxury.
Master Bedroom: Eliza and Liberty
Overall, it was a great effort from the girls however the judges did wish Eliza and Liberty would expand their colour palette.
Living and Dining: Kyle and Leslie
The living and dining room space was far to ‘tight’ for the judges.
Neale called the room a “beautifully styled disaster.”
Living and Dining: Leah and Ash
Overall phenomenal comments from the judges as they loved Leah’s colourful, yet risky, style. However, there was concern regarding the size of the couch and table.
Living and Dining: Kirsty and Brett
The judges loved the fireplace and the plaster feature wall! Overall, Kirsty and Brett received position comments for their functional floor plan other than their lighting placements.
Living and Dining: Steph and Gian
Sadly, all the judges agreed Steph over-styled this week’s room, noting there was no need for the dead bamboo and numerous pots and sculptures.
Regarding the layout, the judges reserved judgement until the kitchen room reveal.
Living and Dining: Eliza and Liberty
All the judges were incredibly impressed with the layout, and noted the large space would be an advantage on auction day.
However, Neale did not there was no lamp.
Downstairs bathroom: Kyle and Leslie
Despite being the smallest room in Block history, it was well received by the judges.
“A bloody good room,” Shaynna said.
Downstairs bathroom: Leah and Ash
The judges pointed out Leah and Ash’s love for marble, which must be weighing a heavy price on their budget.
Downstairs bathroom: Kirsty and Brett
All the judges adored the glamorous bathroom, particularly the tiles. However, their downfall was the lack of under floor heating.
Downstairs bathroom: Steph and Gian
The judges adored the custom made stone vanity and bench top. The biggest criticism was the toilet placement which is visible from the hallway.
Downstairs bathroom: Eliza and Liberty
The sister’s moss wall was the biggest talking point, with Shaynna and Marty absolutely hating it while Darren stated it was “growing” on him.
