Applications are now open for the upcoming series.

The format pits ten amateur interior designers against each other for the life-changing chance to win a commercial contract with a top boutique hotel in the Lake District.

Contestants meet each other for the first time when arriving at a design studio in London before being introduced to Alan and head judge, former Elle Decoration editor-in-chief Michelle Ogundehin.

Each week, Michelle, who is highly regarded in the design industry, sets the designers a different commercial design challenge.

Her task is then to scrutinise their designs alongside big name industry specialists acting as guest judges.

While some weeks see the designers working as individuals, others put them together into teams.

Each week, Michelle decides what constitutes a winning design and passes judgement on the weaker efforts and alongside the guest judge, she determines who is eliminated.

Interior Design Masters is available on BBC iPlayer.
