Longleat provided the backdrop for the final of the latest series of BBC One’s Interior Design Masters presented by Alan Carr.
The final episode of the seventh series saw contestants Lia Gold and Sophie Newlands tasked with transforming two of the estate’s holiday cottages.
Drawing inspiration from either the surrounding countryside or Longleat’s safari park, the designers were challenged to create standout interiors while showcasing how their skills had developed throughout the competition.
The winner would secure a partnership with retailer Next to launch their own homewares range.
Lia Gold was crowned champion after impressing judges Michelle Ogundehin and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen with her design.
Describing the challenge, Lia said, “Being able to take everything I had learnt throughout the competition and apply it to the cottage was so rewarding.
“Even though the cottage had the most rooms to design it was the most cohesive feeling design I had ever created.”
During filming at Longleat, presenter Alan Carr also met some of the attraction’s animals, including lorikeets and sea lions, and joined a safari tour.
The series is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
