The Block 2021: Guest Bedroom Reveal
- 15 Aug 2021
With the houses decided and all couples now at The Block, it’s time for the Fans and Faves to get started!
First challenge will be to build a guest bedroom, the perfect chance to showcase the style each team will be carrying throughout their build and more importantly, somewhere to sleep.
Congratulations to our winners Ronnie and Georgia with their stunning neutral guest bedroom.
Ronnie & Georgia - First Place
Score 24 ½ / 30
Spent: $11,305
With soaring ceilings and a playful style that manages to be (as Neale Whitaker said) neutral but still interesting, Block faves Ronnie and Georgia showed they were back to win with this stylish room. From the VELUX skylights pouring natural light to the elegantly presented bedding, this is a room that Darren Palmer called “aspirational classic contemporary” that “definitely plays to the market for the buyers in Hampton. And more, he said, it shows how much the pair have grown from the dark and moody palette that was their Elsternwick trademark.
Shop Ronnie and Georgia's room including that gorgeous arch bedside, artwork and face vase.
Mark & Mitch - Last Place
Score 22 ½ / 30
Spent: $13,823.20
Pretty in PInk! WE love Mitch and Mark's Guest Bedroom.
Goodbye Palm Springs, hello contemporary modern said the judges to a guest bedroom that clearly says there is more to Mitch and Mark than their Oslo build showed. With its breath-taking Grafico wall and soft colour choices married to a warm carpet choice, the pair have created a guest sanctuary complete with study nook (or work space) perfect for a post-covid home, and a sun-drenched extra bedroom – thanks to the VELUX skylights overhead – perfect for guests or a growing family.
Shop Mitch and Mark's room including that gorgeous artwork and the irresistible pink wardrobes.
Tanya & Vito - Equal Third Place
Score 23 / 30
Spent: $14,199.98
Tanya and Vito brought all the colours to their guest bedroom!
Bright, colourful and filled with styling touches unique to Tanya’s quirky style, this guest bedroom sets the tone for the house that is to follow. Tanya’s unique and vibrant palette brings a sense of fun to the room, with wood panelling topped by a terrazzo shelf behind the beautifully styled bed, flowing sheers over the window, streaming sunlight from the Aurora artwork and a hanging plant making this a soft, living space. And perfect for work too, with a corner desk and light-surrounded mirror big enough for a small home office or getting ready for the day.
Shop Tanya and Vito's room including that amazing Aurora artwork and the gold crested cockatoo.
Josh & Luke - Second Place
Score 24 / 30
Spent: $20,722.80
Josh and Luke's created a dark palette bachelor-pad style guest bedroom taking out second place.
With its dark colour palette accentuated by a beautifully styled bed against a soft-padded wall and bold glass-fronted Kinsman cabinetry, Josh and Luke’s guest bedroom is, the judges decided, sexy, cool and very different room. “Spot-on gentlemen,” said Shaynna admiring the perfectly styled bed that took the bachelor-pad look to a new level. For Darren, it was the “big architectual decisions, such as the huge bi-fold doors that worked best, and he can’t wait to see what they’ll open out to when the rest of the house is built.
Shop Josh and Luke's room including that watercolour print and bedside table.
Kirsty & Jesse - Equal Third Place
Score 23 / 30
Spent: $14,757.58
Congratulations to Kirsty and Jesse for their Coastal Hamptons style Guest Bedroom.
From the soft blue walls with wainscotting and accent architraves to the plantation shutters and high window to flood the room with light while still ensuring privacy, Kirsty and Jesse have created a guest bedroom retreat with an obvious space for a generous en-suite to come. Throw in ample storage courtesy of the twin bedside tables and built-in Kinsman cabinetry and the result is, to quote Darren: “coastal chic, a little bit plantation and a little bit country!”
Shop Kirsty and Jesse's room including that blue coastal palm print and gold mirror.
