Dream Home on Channel 7 – It’s a 10! Victorian sisters Taeler and Elle awarded the competition’s first perfect scores

Tonight on Dream Home: Victorian sisters Taeler and Elle cemented their place at the top of the leaderboard, receiving the competition’s first perfect scores for their spectacular bathroom and dining spaces in Hannah and Jonny’s Coorparoo home.

At Liam’s house in Deception Bay, Dream Home judges Simon Cohen, Lana Taylor and Rosie Morley loved Hannah and Jonny’s kitchen, praising the skylight as a standout feature. Lana said they had delivered on the coastal Scandi vibe with the warmth of the benchtop, the timber cladding and the curved design.

In contrast, the judges found the couple’s guest bedroom underwhelming, questioning the rug placement and the tight fit of the cupboard doors.

Lana loved the colour palette of Jacinta and Jordan’s living room, but Simon wasn’t overly impressed, saying the room felt cramped and the lounge needed to be smaller. But all judges agreed Jacinta and Jordan had nailed the brief with their laundry, making a traditionally un-special place very special.

Brad and Mel’s dining room won praise for its size and the location of the dining table. However, the judges felt they had used too much timber in the space, and their artwork didn’t meet the coastal Scandi brief.

Lana loved the couple’s bathroom, but Simon was less enthusiastic and questioned the bath on a stage. He agreed the couple had improved, but felt they didn’t nail it.

At Hannah and Jonny’s house in Coorparoo, the judges were in awe of Rhys and Liam’s spaces. Simon loved the Venetian plaster and recessed TV in their living room, while Lana was impressed with their styling, which has previously been the brothers’ weak spot.

Rhys and Liam’s laundry also won praise from the judges, who all agreed that the space felt fresh and had a generous layout.

Lara and Peter’s kitchen was a hit with judges. Simon said it was very cool and hit the Palm Springs brief. Lana said the seamless integration of the fridge with the wall was perfection. However, their guest bedroom fell short with the judges, who felt it was sensory overload with too many clashing horizontal and vertical lines.

Taeler and Elle’s dining room and bathroom were standout areas for the judges. Lana said the sisters had presented the best dining room to date.

The judges agreed that the sister’s bathroom was perfect. Simon praised the double mirror and double sink design and loved the generous storage, while Lana and Rosie loved the double skylight over the bath and the floor-to-ceiling tiled shower.

The win gave the sisters a $5000 bonus to go towards their next budget and an additional $5000 credit to use on a variety of trusted tradies.

About the Show

No dream is too big. Life-changing renovation series Dream Home premieres Sunday, 26 May.

Seven’s brand-new competition renovation series Dream Home is set to take the renovation genre to new heights as six pairs of everyday Aussies battle it out room by room, transforming tired suburban family homes into astonishing new dream homes.

Premiering 7.00pm Sunday, 26 May on Channel 7 and 7plus, Dream Home is hosted by Dr Chris Brown and will feature some of the biggest and best life-changing renovations Australia has ever seen.

“In real estate terms, my own skills are a renovator’s delight, in need of a serious makeover,”

– confesses Dr Chris.

“I’ve somehow lived through two renovations and seen both of them blow out on time and budget; mostly because of my questionable decisions.

“I genuinely feel like I can relate to what our couples are experiencing – possibly more than they’ll ever know.”

With grit and determination at the forefront, the teams will design and rebuild each other’s outdated and dilapidated homes.

Following renovations in each state, the top three placing couples will have their backyards completely made over with stunning gardens and outdoor living spaces.

All couples will receive the gift of a lifetime with their newly renovated homes. The winning couple will also receive a cash prize of $100,000 to help with their mortgage.

A trio of expert judges – Lana Taylor of Three Birds Renovations, top buyer’s agent Simon Cohen and award-winning interior designer Rosie Morley – will provide invaluable insight during the renovations before critiquing and scoring each new space in the stunning homes.

Produced by Endemol Shine Australia (A Banijay company), Dream Home will inspire and ignite Australia’s love of home renovation.
