Seven’s new home renovation program, Dream Home will see six pairs of everyday Aussies battle it out room by room, transforming their own tired suburban family homes into new dream homes.
Dream Home premieres Sunday, 26 May at 7:00 pm on Seven and 7plus.
Dr Chris Brown is jumping over from 10’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! to host Dream Home, and EP Sylvia D’Souza told Mediaweek that while she thinks Brown has done really well, he does not pretend to be a renovator.
“He lessens the stresses that renovation brings and listens spectacularly to the cast vent their stress about the job,” she said.
“He also is so funny in a way that I didn’t expect him to be. He’s the heart of the show but is also entertaining all at the same time.”
The judging lineup on the show will include Lana Taylor of Three Birds Renovations, buyer’s agent Simon Cohen, and interior designer Rosie Morley.
The contestants include:
Brad and Mel, VIC, Parents to four teenagers
Taeler and Elle, VIC, Sisters
Hannah and Jonny, QLD, New parents of twins
Rhys and Liam, QLD, Tradie brothers
Jacinta and Jordan, NSW, Parents of two young children
Lara and Peter, NSW, Parents of two young children
Following renovations in each state, the top three couples will have the opportunity to have their backyards made over with new gardens and outdoor living spaces.
The winning couple will receive their renovated home and a cash prize of $100,000.
In an Australian first for Pinterest, the platform has partnered with The Seven Network to launch an integrated experience in Dream Home.
The partnership will allow viewers and Pinterest users to explore the room reveals, curate their own “dream homes” online and buy products from key program sponsors. After each episode, the room reveals will be dropped onto boards on Pinterest, with viewers able to look through and save inspiration for their own home renovation.
