Space Off Design Competition: Bachelor on a Budget

[@DamianLewd]

The ladies nailed it! I liked the couples layout but as a male bachelor who lives in NYC and has worked in many aspects of design from my perspective it's not question the ladies were robbed. It was well balance thoughtful and modern yet had a touch of retro,. It had a great timeless quality and looked a lot more luxe. They had all the keynotes of loft living.

[@siobhanhughes4587]

Definitely preferred the girls design! A lot more modern but also kind of classic. Loved it

[@sean9267]

You forget what a bachelor pad is....NOT designed by women.

[@siobhanhughes4587]

Sean Robinson I think you'll find a lot of bachelor pads are designed by women. It's not about who designs them, it's about who lives in them that defines a 'bachelor pad'.

[@sean9267]

I think you'll find the best opinion about a bachelor pad, is from an actual bachelor....women know everything, including how to be a guy.

[@siobhanhughes4587]

I agree completely :)

[@MariaSantos-uo3pb]

@@sean9267 a bachelor pad is about designs based around masculinity as a concept, but being masculine/having masculine aesthetics isn't something ingrained in men lmao... it's socialization and upbringing that breeds taste. A lot of women's tastes fall into what would be considered masculine, and clearly female interior designers have no issue replicating it as we've seen here. Maybe you should actually think about this for two seconds before going all "no girls allowed' on the most arbitrary shit ever? Jesus lmao

[@tongueinchic20]

The only thing I liked about the orange one was the vintage cameras. The blonde ladies are clearly the winner for me. The orange room is not pleasant.

[@gabrielgabriel-vr4lb]

The orange room makes it look like a family with two kids live there. I like the industrial loft styled one more.

[@rneustel388]

I love the ladies room. It really spoke to me, and I thought the winning room looked cluttered.

[@juliecaron3955]

agree with you. i feel the winning room is for somebody much older and i don t think the bachelor is that old

[@sierrav7755]

this is a really wholesome competition. The most friendliest one I've seen. They don't even talk rudely about each other. I like it.

[@jojoelephant]

I disagree with the judge. Ladies room is way nicer and more functional. I can picture a bachelor living there. The couple's room is segmented and feels aged. If I were to hire a group of designers, I would definitely choose the two ladies over the couple.

[@mortalsting]

Judging such event is very subjective. I liked the ladies' design much better!

[@miserchris11]

I preferred the ladies room. The orange room felt like a corporate apartment with low celings and the ladies seemed a little more masculine and eclectic.

[@chocolatewoman926]

miserchris Totally agree! The "tangerine" color gave me a 70's vibe😖

[@rizielv9040]

A bachelor should be the judge of this.. and I'd say.. the first room wins. Definitely my kind of room.

[@MsGnor]

Ready to hand over your $25,000? :)))))

[@mrconnorloeffler3107]

@@MsGnor What do we have to do what's the contract

[@leciabella9461]

Patty and Stephanie's design I find provides more open area to move around and neutral enough to add the owners touches, while the other ties the owner into a set color .

[@AndSoBeneathItAll]

Based on the Client described, I liked the 1st design by the ladies duo. Both rooms were beautiful but every bachelor I know would pick the 1st room. I see the 2nd room as a young couple or family with contemporary tastes. Great Job All

[@onigiria7791]

I prefer the 2 ladies' room. It looks more spacious and I love the industrial look, with wood furniture and touches of gold.

[@SDavis2702]

As a bachelor myself, I'd rather _look_ at Patti and Stephanie's room. It speaks to my personality a lot more. But I've learned from experience that tailoring my living space to my personality leaves me feeling like I can't experiment. I end up with everything just how I like it... always... every day... forever. I can't even let things get out of place. 🙃 I'm going with David and Catherine's design. It's not my style at all, but I still love it. And I feel like it would inspire me to loosen up a bit.

[@petalsjones]

The two ladies nailed it. Absolutely beautiful for a bachelor 💯

[@summit9681]

$25,000.00 for one room and it is a cosmetic makeover, there are no demolition or renovation....are you kidding me! I could make that go very far! T

[@Jacjiemanhue]

Zoning in the married couples’ room is much better!!!Esthetically, and pieces chosen I prefer the ladies team though.

[@keybaej]

The two sister’s team definitely nailed Urban Bachelor Pad. Love it! and under $3K is amazing!

[@judylloyd7901]

Just under $25,000 😊

[@dstgirl9of9]

I'm new to this channel and like what I see, BUT I would like to see a design challenge with a "realistic" budget for the working man/woman. $25,000 is a high end budget for a one-room design challenge.

[@joshuahoward6845]

dstgirl9of9 it's a loft apartment, so that's kind of a realistic budget for the type of client that could afford a space like this.

[@christybrian223]

I loved both rooms but my choice would have been the ladies!

[@oceanebrieze2050]

What fun! Loved this! Appreciated the concept, creativity, talent, fairness of competition, true teamwork, and hard work. To me: both win!

[@vanessawhite1041]

Very impressed by both group's solution to THEIR definition of the "bachelor client". The first room was high in drama/mood. The ladies' design was rich in materials which helps since the colors were very subdued and patterns non existent. It works in an urban way without feeling cold. It was a brilliant idea to bring in the panels for the wall and to play with the height with the low profile seating and the high shelving units and hanging light fixture. My concern is the distance between the television and the lounging area as well as the dead open space in the center. In saying that, I think the second room's strength was in its layout. The desk serving as a sofa table of sorts kept it close to the gathering area so it is integrated better in the room. Keeping the seating area away from the edges of the room for the most part would be conducive to conversation/mingling. The couple also artfully carry the viewers eye throughout the room through the use of color. I did not like the fabric on their chairs/pillows in the TV area but it was done so well that it does not stand out to me. The carpets, although very different, do not compete with each other. The same is true regarding the chairs; all very different (save for the two in the living room) but they are balanced and held together by the color scheme.That is very difficult to do. Lastly, the couple paid close attention to lighting which can really set the mood in a room. If you notice, each seating area has access to a light source. This is the mark of truly living in a space. Both rooms have quality looking pieces. They were successful in making their spaces feel like living spaces and not a show room.

[@Supergirl-oo5lr]

The 1st one is so beautiful!!!!!!!!

[@spunkywaves8162]

I preferred the ladies design, there should be a team of three judges.

[@reshmahanni5887]

Girls done a great job

[@trevl8955]

I think the judge would have picked the first design if it wasn't for the fact that the two hosts subconsciously influenced her decision. They were quiet enough during the first design, letting the judge point out everything she liked about the space, but when it came to the second design, the hosts were quick to point out everything they liked about it. They clearly influenced her decision on a subconscious level. This is also how marketing works.

[@susandupre2975]

For the challenge requirements, the ladies won.

[@Kyledillon]

I love the metal panels and leather couch and chairs. Were can i find those metal pallets and how do i hang them on the wall

[@MaliciousAction100]

We need a new 2022 updated challenge. We need to see something inspired by mixed textures with influences of Art Deco and post-modernism

[@sharoncansler5524]

The first design was more cohesive. Both texture and blend of subtle color is better suited for the masculine yet tastful vibe .Im shocked that the second design with all the orange won. Oh well.

[@turcovincenso8648]

I would've chosen the ladies design but only because of the furniture selection and color squeme but i favor the couple's layout a bit more.

[@estellamitchell7518]

I liked the layout of David and Catherine's but the colors are what I didn't. The orange mixed with the browns made me think of tthe 70's. So I preferred the ladies room overall.

[@oldreprobate2748]

The first one is the winner in my estimation. And I haven't watch to see the pick, I'm a bachelor.

[@darthbrutalicious6066]

it has a high paid wall street serial killer personal office vibe to it .Great! I like it!

[@lkenady52]

Both are nice but I would have chosen the design of the two ladies. I just felt it was perfect in every way!

[@2023Mermaid]

The challenge was a bachelor pad thats both work and home friendly... but she chose the place that looks like a starter apartment for an engaged couple with a child on the way.

[@graceserenachristie2914]

I loved both. You know the TV show where they got people into someone's home to guess their occupation. Well the man I imagined in the women's side is tall dark haired about 28 from the Western side of the US. Not exactly urban. I would have done the sofa with table back / desk. That is the focal for centering this room also. The man i saw in the couples side was from the North like Chicago to New York with brown hair tall a little older almost 40 years old. Thanks I think I will check out your show room some day. Nice choice pieces to choose from.

[@acmulhern]

I have to say, I prefer the orange room. The layout is just better and it feels more homely.

[@Sungirl88]

Ask any guy which room he would prefer... they would all choose the "losing" room without a doubt!

[@naushaddossani4380]

Oh c'mon ! ,,,,, It's definitely Patty and Stephanie for me ,,, remember it's an urban bachelor's pad ,,,, it's gotta be low maintenance whilst still maintaining a classy, macho look and feel ,,,,

[@3vn1mediaproductions76]

I absolutely love the two ladies space. It’s separates the living space from the office and I love how they use that one chair that’s sitting in front of the office desk but it also ties into the living room. And the monitor is placed in a perfect area for the office space and if people are sitting in the living room. The other room was extremely too busy for me. And the way the desk is sitting it doesn’t connect with the two chairs in the back to pull it in as a definite office space. I think the ladies should have won.If it was a bachelors pad, why did you not have a male judge?

[@tinahferuzy7774]

Great judgement, in long term practicality the couple room is more livable compared to ladies room especially after a long day of work, i believe abit of sophication is good.

[@lindasawbridgeworth2004]

Great choice

[@MsGnor]

Better to have a real-life bachelor brief both teams then pick a winner. Also, why did the two managers praise the tangerine design in front of the judge? She could hardly have missed their preference!

[@SopranoJessi]

I like both, but I would choose the Girl's room.

[@proserpine8857]

The design of the ladies has the desk in an unsuitable position in relation to the window. The couple nailed it in all ways.

[@michelemccants8911]

Patti and Stephanie rocked their room. Theirs was a space that a man would be proud to call his and eagerly entertain in the swank space that their design offers. The other room looked like an homage to a furniture store with all of the matchy matchy textiles, yuk.

[@tdowdfl]

$25,000 dollars!!! Holy crap that's a lot of money for a room. I do budget decorating for the average person. Like a budget of $200.00 or less.

[@sydneylozada5444]

Am not an interior designer but Ladies room is more High end elegant but as an expercienced bachelor i would buy the 2nd room because its more friendly, cosy and entertaining and it as a single person you need to color your room environment to avoid depressions.That's the reason why they won❤, interior is not just to beautify you have to sell what your buyer wants.

[@sans6984]

Any bachelor would prefer the ladies room (a lot of leather, stone and wood) whats not to like. The orange room seems too colorful for a guy's choice.

[@tonidieumerci]

I WILL GO FOR THE LADIES

[@kahaiwo]

I would choose the other room, the one which lose the battle...... modern and masculine, just the type of room I want

[@MikeinWB]

the layout is better in the room that won but i liked the ladies furniture and style better.

[@tesscort27]

Love it!

[@theresaholden7580]

I didn’t agree, I like the other room.

[@jannibal9273]

How telling! Those designers think that $25K is not a lot of money to furnish a space! Where I live a lot of people don't make $25K a year working 40 hours a week!

[@b3blueblue]

The judge should've been a man... its for a male loft right? I likes the ladies' design more than the couple. But congrats anyway.

[@samanwayagupta6317]

Bachelor pad but a lady gets to judge.

[@voyager1369]

I liked both desgins. However, the black leather chaise with the black leather sofa was a bit of overkill. Perhaps if they had chosen a chaise with a nice textured fabric and just a pop of color that would've pushed them over the edge to a victory.

[@linda9389]

David and Katherine did the best job the other room was a little busy to much stuff

[@sfedrickbridges]

Excellent rooms, I would've liked to know the age of client because both rooms were gorgeous, great win Dave and Katherine.

[@vrijegeest]

The couple's layout was more functional, and I love that they weren't afraid to use color. The brief stated that it would also be used for entertaining so the bar was a great idea. I also loved the ladies' design but there can only be one winner so.. :)

[@cristinaflorina9538]

I feel like the judge picked the room based on what SHE would want as supposed to what would actually works for a bachelor. The couple's room was more like a family room with a small bar to entertain their family friends every now and again, whereas the ladies one was a lot more practical for a bachelor (a small work area overlooking the TV), the colours were a lot manlier and the design gave a lot more of a modern and fancy vibe which would defintely be more preffered by a bachelor. I don't think this was a fair judgement, and all the comments bellow seem to think the same.

[@princessbc9791]

If the bachelor planned to stay that way the two ladies should have one. If he plans on meeting a lady soon enough the winners were spot on. I would not spend that kind of money, meet a lady, then need to add color or change things out. The winning room is definitely for lady love someday. The other room was classic however.

[@yichispiritual]

Princess BC well I d rather meet a bachelor who lives in the first room.

[@t.s.5206]

I much preferred the room that was selected. The room designed by the two ladies was every cliche of a bachelor space ever created. It was if they were designing a toy soldier room with only metal, leathers, and masculine colors. I'd be afraid to sit down in this room because it displayed 'zero' softness. Far too angular, and just plain cold. The 'faux' wall was a great concept, but not needed in this space considering it didn't add any warmth to the space. There's no question the room with the warmth with some brighter color was still very masculine for the 21st century bachelor.

[@harisnoor8701]

[@Keksdich]

[@jackflap]

The coin toss was dumb.. It really set the girls back because it would have forced them to use some colour. They should have forced both teams to find new pieces. I'm a bachelor and I preferred the couples' room. The colour made it more human. The girls' one was monochromatic and came off as being this idea of what masculine *should* look like, rather than what a real person would actually choose. Also, why on earth wasn't the judge an actual bachelor or at least a panel of judges!? Lame.

[@phyllislowe7219]

I think the bar sold the room but I like the other room better. Too feminine for a man but ok for a family.

[@mikezterspage]

As a guy, the ladies had the winning design. As a bachelor, I wouldn't find the couple's design appealing. It wasn't masculine and seemed too Pier1-esque.

[@artqueststudio]

Nice show,the couple won bcos their layout was functional tho.too unreal for a man's loft.The office space was kinda separate from d living area and both are joined by d entertainment bar,wc is really cool plus flow is easy with David& wife's design while d ladies made an huge error placing d office space right in front of d TV. I think dat was their losing point but masculine wise,they should av won.

[@vicc.1446]

the tv could be turned into a big monitor for works or gaming.. :P

The ladies design sensibilities were superior. But the woman, preferred the traditional look more. To old fashion for me and that orange was blah.
