HGTV's top designers, carpenters and color experts face off in the ultimate design challenge.

About the Show

It's our newest design event — four one-hour specials that have HGTV's top talent going head-to-head against each other in a race against the clock to make over rooms in dire need of an overhaul. We scoured America to find homeowners with rooms they felt qualified and then exact replicas of these rooms are created and placed side-by-side in the Designer Dome — the mega HGTV design arena. For each challenge, the two teams must redesign the rooms, and then a panel of celebrity judges selects the best makeover. The homeowner who submitted that room gets cash to do the room themselves.

Host George Gray serves as the ringmaster for the event and breaks down how the design battle of HGTV stars will play out. Plus, take a look at the design dream teams we’ve selected.
