Synopsis
Merge takes viewers where no home decorating show has gone before by merging roommates with totally different styles.
With a behind-the-scenes look at the actual design process, the show highlights the dilemmas leading up to a successful home makeover and the drama that ensues when abodes are transformed.
With the help of professional designer Angelo Surmelis, the couples try to combine their separate personal belongings into a single household.
The toughest decisions involve not what to keep, but what to throw away - especially since the discarded items are ground into nothingness by "The Shredder," a one-ton machine built for the express purpose of destroying awkward furniture.
