Design Doctors - Episode 1

Brendan and Sam Casey
Brendan and Sam Casey

Sam’s home was built by her husband Brendan six years ago, with her moving in two years after the build. Brendan had already finished most of the décor, and a lot of it wouldn’t have been Sam’s first choice. For this reason she has hit a wall and doesn’t know how to continue the styling of the house throughout.  Working from home as a beautician, Sam is ever aware of the unfinished home and says the unfinished spaces are starting to stress her out.

Because the couple has two very different aesthetics, with Brendan liking more masculine pieces such as leather armchairs, and Samantha having a passion for pastels, the designers need to work hard to create a look that both Samantha and Brendan are happy with.

With dramatic high ceilings, the hall and office are crying out for a cozy finish, but with Samantha’s fear of dark colours, the designers have their work cut out to gain her trust.

Budget: €12,000

Rooms: The hall, office and the family bathroom

Main themes: Unfinished spaces, putting your stamp on a home, blending two styles to create a look both husband and wife are happy with.
