What Is Interior Design Masters 2025?
Interior Design Masters is the BBC's hit competition series hosted by the ever-charismatic Alan Carr, with industry expert Michelle Ogundehin serving as head judge. The show brings together ten up-and-coming designers to compete for a career-launching contract with a prestigious commercial client. Each week, contestants take on jaw-dropping interior design challenges that range from boutique hotel rooms to retail spaces, show homes, and even university dormitories.
The 2025 season promises even more creativity, drama, and design flair. With a new crop of designers, unexpected themes, and cutting-edge style choices, Interior Design Masters 2025 is already shaping up to be the most inspiring season yet.

Known for his vibrant wallpaper designs, theatrical styling, and flamboyant personality, Paul became a standout star in Season 2 of Interior Design Masters.

His influence continues to ripple through the world of interiors, with many expecting a guest appearance or mentorship role in this year's show. Whether he’s designing high-end retail spaces or offering his signature styling tips online, Paul’s fearless approach to colour and texture has reshaped what it means to be bold in British interior design.
At House of Isabella, we’re inspired by Paul’s unapologetic style and playful design sense. Our curated range of statement wallpaper, velvet furnishings, and glamorous gold accents offers a touch of Moneypenny magic for your own home.
