Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr series 4 recap: the winner & this year's contestants

Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr has wrapped up its fourth series on BBC One. Alan, joined by interiors guru Michelle Ogundehin, put the contestants through their paces, as 10 new designers were looking for their big break in the fast-paced world of commercial interior design.

Monika Charchula, a furniture artist from Nottingham, has taken the crown for 2023, winning a contract to design a top cocktail bar in London.

Head judge Michelle previously revealed that she was looking for energy, enthusiasm and 'a kind of slightly devil-may-care attitude' from this year's crop of aspiring designers. 'I'm always looking for someone who is prepared to listen,' she told us. 'It's only by listening that they'll really learn because they've got essentially the most intense crash course through interior design ever, and they've got access to all this expertise. The ones that come in and think that they know it all, they're not going to get it from this show.'

And, having judged a lot of rooms across four series, Michelle knows what makes the perfect space. 'I think it's actually very simple, rooms should just make you feel good,' she revealed. 'In whatever its purpose is, whether that's the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom or study, you need to be able to walk into a space and feel like I can relax or I can do whatever it is that I'm supposed to do in this room. And the ingredients for that will be different depending on the shape and size of the room, the aspect, the budget, all of those things. But it is just to feel.'
