Pieter Serton and Irusha Kröhn-Eksteen are set designers who are going to transform a studio space from dull to fabulous weekly.
They create unique and inspiring spaces based on the decor style of the week.
Each episode starts with a briefing session where the presenter gives styling context for viewers, before giving each stylist their instructions for the day.
After receiving their brief, each stylist shows their mood board to the other and explains their approach within the given restrictions.
After both stylists have described their approach, both teams get to work styling their sections of the studio.
As the stylists work away, each stylist demonstrates either a DIY or up-cycling tip, which is incorporated into the overall design of the spaces.
After both stylists have completed their spaces, the stylists critique each other's take on the brief.
After this "peer review", the presenter enters the studio and the stylists take them through their individual spaces.
The presenter then chooses one of the two spaces as their favourite and one of the stylists is announced as the episode winner, taking home a truckload of bragging rights.

Genre: Reality, Reality Makeover, Home Improvement
A follow-up to Trixie Mattel's 2022 limited series Trixie Motel (which saw Trixie and her partner David Silver renovating a Palm Springs motel that is currently open for business), this show will feature a variety of famous friends working to bring their dreamhouse to life.
These include Juno Birch, Nicole Byer, Brittany Broski, Katya, Orville Peck, Christine Quinn, Drew and Jonathan Scott, Lisa Vanderpump, Very Gay Paint, and of course Trixie's trusted assistant Brandon Lim and designer Dan Vickery.
After months of sweat, tears and lash glue, Trixie Motel has officially been open for almost a year.
Pushing the envelope during their first year as motel mavens, Trixie and David look to do something some might say is even scarier: taking the leap into home ownership and cohabitation with the purchase of their dream home in Los Angeles.
But the house needs a glow-up of its own to make it fit for the couple, and the drama and laughs get fierce as the pair renovate and decorate.
In the series premiere, "Oh Honey! I'm Home!": Trixie and David enlist real estate starlet Christine Quinn to find them their first home together in Hollywood, but it needs a queen sized renovation.
Trixie calls on the Scott Brothers to help find the perfect designer.
