Im kinda pissed Michelle kicked Ry. I thought Jack and Ry would make it into the final! Now, to me it is pretty obvious who will win the season.
I agree, Ibiza boy should have gone this week!

I thought they would say that Tom’s was too busy and crowded … I’m sure designs have been dinged before for having all the stock out, so from that point of view I understood where Temi was going with that. I do wonder how long the sheepskin rug wall with last when it’s been mauled by every sticky handed visitor to the shop, though.I do think that Ry failed to show the shoes off, but I’m not sure if I thought he had an attitude problem. He said he was struggling on the first day but then seemed to bounce back. It is any different to Monika constantly saying the nursery challenge was not for her or Tom saying he was really not enjoying the hotel maximalist challenge (which he said a lot)?
I thought the person who mentioned the boxes in the window was one of their tradies. Personally I wasn’t keen on the boxes as I thought they looked clunky but if you looked at Monika’s design, you could barely see into the shop either as she had large boards that clothes were pinned too. Obviously on a different level but you can’t see through Selfridges window displays either, nor most chain high street shops. My issue was the display wasn’t very good and wouldn’t make me want to buy the shoes, although I also thought all the shoes were ugly whereas I wasn’t keen on the bags but Jack did his best to show them off. Hated that weird black and white boa thing on the kissing chair and wondered why it wasn’t picked up on by Michelle.
Tom’s design definitely a stand out, and interesting they picked up on the elements that Temi said she didn’t like and would want to change. The wall of shoes looked great whereas she said she wanted to dramatically reduce the amount of stock they had out.
to be fair, outside of the show he just wouldn't take them on as a client / they wouldn't approach him as a designer if they didn't like his house styleYeah I think Ry showed he likes what he likes and that's it. If a project doesn't inspire him then he loses interest, and you can't do that as an interior designer.
True, but you also can't afford to be that fussy until you hit the big time. You need to be able to adapt and sometimes do stuff that doesn't personally interest you. They're looking for a well rounded person and not being able to do retail spaces is a pretty big one. You don't need to have an interest in an item to know the basics of how to display them etc regardless of what they are.to be fair, outside of the show he just wouldn't take them on as a client / they wouldn't approach him as a designer if they didn't like his house style
I think they both got hung up on the actual product too much … and you could tell neither of them wanted to be lead designer. If it was a rock, paper, scissors best of they’d still be going. I didn’t actually think it turned out too bad in the end - just generic but that’s obviously a worse design crime than nowhere to sit and fake ivy.True, but you also can't afford to be that fussy until you hit the big time.

i agree! imo with his style being more organic he would've thrived with the sheepskin shop if given the choice. as an example we were able to choose from a range of hospitality or retail briefs for my final first year project, and the one before was fashion retail but we had a list of brands / designers to pick from too.True, but you also can't afford to be that fussy until you hit the big time.

True. Office and Schuh don’t have the most inspiring layouts or displays.the shoe shop felt the most limited brief and would be my last choice, purely bc they're awkward to display and there's no variety (don't think tom's wall with pegs would've worked all over or without the visual breakup from sheepskin rugs and clothing etc)
