Room Reveal: Rick and Tayla’s Rumpus and Laundry
Rick and Tayla went into this week feeling pretty confident. But that confidence was quickly shattered when the judges walked through the door.
Rick and Tayla headed into room reveals this week feeling pretty confident. The father-daughter duo finally fully completed a room, and Tayla wasn’t shy of labelling her styling as “divine”. But, when the judges walked throught the door, that confidence was quickly shattered.

The first thing the judges noticed was the sheer size of the rumpus room, with houses four and five having a larger space to work with. But they quickly found themselves uncofmrtable because of the “funny layout” of the room.

The pair decided to turn their large wall into a feature piece using a panelled CSR Sounstyle wall which also sound proofs the room. Unfortunately, the judges didn’t quite understand the vision.

“It’s all kind of squished over in this corner,” Marty said as he walked into the space.

Turning their larger wall into a feature wall, the pair were left to use the smaller wall to mount the TV, a decision Marty didn’t agree with. “They’re making the most of the smallest wall in the room, when you’ve got such a great space that they could’ve utilised. I don’t think this is the right layout at all,” he said.

The rumpus room included a fully stocked kitchennette, but Marty pointed out that because of the direction of the living space, the way people would integrate into the room simply didn’t feel welcoming.

According to Darren, the rumpus room felt more like that of a holiday home than a permanent home.

“It’s clear that there is a better solution to using this space,” Darren said. “The scale of the rug is wrong, the pendant in the corner are ubiquitous and they’re wrong, you’ve gotta have the big scale rug, the big scale sofas.”

“It’s just wrongly laid out, it really is,” Shaynna said. Safe to say that the judges weren’t impressed by the rumpus room, but they still had the laundry left to look at.

Thankfully, things began to look up for Rick and Tayla here as Scotty told the duo that the judges all loved the styling intent of the room.
