ROOM TO IMPROVE

EPISODE THREE – KELLS, CO. MEATH

In Kells, County Meath, Dermot finally meets his match: a house that looks like it leapt straight from the pages of a 1970s Bungalow Bliss manual — and its hardworking owners, Sarah Clarke and Liam Callan. The childhood sweethearts and newlyweds have already decided this is their forever home and some items are just non-negotiable!

The problem? Their wish-list is far more ambitious than their budget. Undeterred, Sarah and Liam hold firm on a fourth bedroom extension – complete with a TV wall, where Dermot is picturing elegant French doors…

Self-confessed “non-creatives” who struggle to visualise design concepts, Sarah and Liam prove a tough crowd as Dermot tries to sell his vision.

Dermot attempts to walk them through a 3D mock-up of their future home as he tries to steer them away from social-media inspiration and towards his own idea of true wow-factor – if only he can get them to see it first!
