The owner's response was 'good grief' Changing Rooms was presented by Carol Smillie and featured designers Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, Andy Kane, Linda Barker, Graham Wynne and Anna Ryder Richardson ‹ Slide me › This living room went from something fairly ordinary to one which featured a very strong black and white theme. Sadly, the owner felt differently and said 'I don't like the bed' and 'the colour is horrible' ‹ Slide me › This person's front room went from having boring curtains and old furniture to one with circular coffee tables boasting a dotted pattern. They said: 'Oh no, it's horrible' ‹ Slide me › This living room and kitchen was given a contemporary feel with the addition of a curved sofa and some well-placed artwork. The owner said, 'Barbara, it's gorgeous,' and 'look at the wall' ‹ Slide me › In this transformation, the living room walls were painted black before being shot with a paintball gun to give it a groovy effect.
