But they did have one goal in mind: to make their house feel like a home.
Their secret weapon? A stunning in-built brick fireplace that would reference the exterior of their house.
Scroll through to see what judges Shaynna Blaze, Darren Palmer and Marty Fox thought about their living and dining room...
Sonny and Alicia spent $19,999 on their living and dining space this week.
"Our room to me is a place that feels like home," said Alicia ahead of reveals.

"There's a lot of heart and soul in that room, I hope they come in and say 'wow'," hoped Sonny.
So did they?
The judges walked in and Darren was immediately obsessed with the fireplace.
"I love that brick, that is such a beautiful link from the exterior façade to this."
Meanwhile, Marty was obsessed with the exposed timber beams.
"Look at those ceiling timbers," he said in awe. "Wow".
They got their 'wow'!
Shaynna's attention drew to the magnificent artwork on the wall.
"We have this incredible artwork, that is just divine.
"Those rich blues, the earth, it's the nature of Daylesford," she praised.
Can we also appreciate the beautiful rich texture of the timber coffee table?
But then came Shaynna's concern about the layout...
The judges thought the allocation of space was interesting... considering House 4 didn't get it right in Main Bedroom and Walk-in Wardrobe Week.
Darren noted that everything was pushed to the right, meaning the remaining space would be allocated for the kitchen.
So was it the right decision?
"Can I show you something?" Marty jumped in.
He took three big steps from one side of the loungeroom to the other.
"It's a three metre wide living space," he said. "A small apartment has the exact same space as this."
"That is tiny, tiny," he went on.
"It's fascinating they've got the exact square meterage and yet we feel like we're in a smaller space...
"They have really, really stuffed this room up," said Marty.
And Shaynna was completely confused with the styling.
Uh oh.
