Marble ceilings, minimalist chic and a crown jewel: Inside Tamara and Rhys’ House Rules transformation

Tamara and Rhys' mismatched dining set left a lot to the imagination pre-renovation.

The judges were underwhelmed with George and Laith's dining room design. While there was nothing overwhelmingly wrong, there also wasn't a "wow" factor.

Every Queensland home needs a tranquil outdoor space, so that's exactly what Laith and George gave Tamara and Rhys. The judges questioned the boys' choice in furniture but absolutely loved their timber ceiling detail.

The crown jewel in the boys' renovation had to be their bathroom. "This is something special," Saul commented on George and Laith's well-lit executive style bathroom.

Tamara and Rhys' second bedroom was less than inviting for potential house guests.

Tanya and Dave managed to win the judges over in their bedroom with their asymmetrical timber feature wall and jewel toned finishings.

While the judges loved Tanya and Dave's bespoke hallway table, and the geometric pattern they had made for the opposite wall, they weren't impressed by their colour choice. "They took all of that eroticism and painted it this flaccid elephant fart grey," LLB commented.

A labour of love for Dave, the gym's plywood cupboard failed to meet the house rule of sleek finishes and fine lines, an unforgivable mistake in the judges' eyes.

The judges questioned whether Kimmy and Rh hit the house rules. Though they loved their art work and timber wall, the judges failed to find much else to get excited about in the living room. LLB compared the room to a "supermodel with a limp."

Tamara wasn't sold on Kimmy and Rhi's mismatched tiled floor, but the judges absolutely loved what the sisters pulled off in a small space, particularly when it came to their storage solutions.

Tamara and Rhy's master bedroom needed a lot of love and care, luckily Lenore and Bradley knew just what to do...

"I do like to be wowed," Kyly exclaimed as she entered Lenore and Bradley's freshly renovated master bedroom, to which Saul agreed. The feature wall doubling as a bed head was a statement piece that won over all three judges.

Lenore and Bradley's bathroom divided the judging panel; LLB compared their innovative design to "the work of international professionals" while Saul struggled with "clashing" elements.

While Tamra and Rhys' kitchen was the newest part of their home, it still needed work. And, it wouldn't compare to the finished product Kayne and Aimee pulled off.

The study got a "wow" from judges, but for all the wrong reasons. The viper, as the blue velvet occasional chair was dubbed "too extreme" for the judges' taste which they called a "space gobbling scorpion chair."

Kayne and Aimee took the minimalism brief a step too far with their hallway. There was little in the room other than the marble hallway. While LLB liked the bold move, Kyly and Saul thought it would date quickly.

Kayne and Aimee managed to redeem themselves with their "sophisticated" kitchen tickling all the house rules.
