Interior Design Masters 2026
Frankie is now one of the ten talented designers competing in the seventh series of Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr on BBC One. The show challenges participants to reinvent eight stunning spaces, ranging from charming beach huts to majestic castle hotels. Interior design expert Michelle Ogundehin leads the judging panel, joined weekly by a lineup of guest judges.
Her decision to join Interior Design Masters was driven by a desire to venture beyond her comfort zone. In a candid interview with the BBC, Frankie admitted, “I have never wanted to be on TV, so this whole experience has been very outside my comfort zone! I couldn’t resist the idea of having a bunch of fun spaces to design, a van, a budget, a painter, and a carpenter on hand. Literally my dream scenario! So, I applied, went off to hike the Camino De Santiago, and then got in!”
Frankie describes her design style as “Colour, Joy, Play.” She is obsessed with colour drenching. She added: “I hate a white wall and for me, there is never enough colour. I completely disagree with Pantone’s colour of the year – white is not a colour in my opinion! I’m on a mission to create fun, playful spaces with the use of bold confident colours. More is more!”
