Lia Gold Biography – Lia Gold Wiki
Lia Gold, who hails from a vibrant Scottish-Italian background, is making waves as a participant on the BBC’s Interior Design Masters 2026. Raised near Glasgow, her passion for home projects was ignited early on, inspired by her father’s transformation of old stables into their family residence.
Transitioning from a career in retail to focusing on commercial interiors, Lia is known for her daring, botanical maximalist designs. She advocates for creativity and encourages women to dive into DIY. Her design philosophy is encapsulated by the words “Sophisticated, Joyful, and Botanical.”
Interior Design Masters 2026
This year, Lia steps into the spotlight on Season 7 of Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr at the helm. The series challenges ten designers to reinvent eight unique locations, ranging from beach huts to opulent castle hotels. Each week offers Stand Out Spaces, with the ultimate victor launching their own homewares line. Michelle Ogundehin returns as the lead judge, joined weekly by various guest judges.
Lia’s enthusiasm for the show dates back to its inception. Her decision to apply came after she was entrusted with creatively revamping several staff rooms in her retail job. Witnessing the transformative impact of her designs, she realized she wanted to continue experiencing that “magical spark.”
She describes the current season as featuring the “most ambitious and competitive contestants yet!” According to Lia, “Every week we pushed ourselves to achieve the unimaginable in just two days. Each challenge brought surprises for us and the tradespeople. The tension was palpable as we raced against the clock, down to the very last second.”
“The talent is so high this year and the spaces are magical. I think viewers will be genuinely surprised by the creative risks everyone was willing to take, even with the constant threat of ending up on Michelle’s sofa if it didn’t come out quite right!”
