Remember these dire Changing Rooms makeovers? From blow-up chairs to MDF ‘masterpieces’ get ready for the show’s return

CHANGING Rooms is about to make a return to our telly boxes, with the 90s hit moving from BBC to Channel 4.

The first trailers have given fans a glimpse of new host Anna Richardson plus the welcome return of Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, but if the reboot is anything like its predecessor, then we can expect some truly disastrous DIY makeovers along the way too.



Changing Rooms is rumoured to be making a return to our screens

A reboot of the series arrives on Channel 4 this week

Originally hosted by Carol Smillie, the show saw couples receive some truly questionable transformations when it came to their homes.

Whether it was the 90s must-have of the inflatable chair or the iconic hanging teapot shelf – it’s safe to say these were designs we loved to hate.

As we eagerly anticipate the new batch of home makeovers, take a look back at some of the very worst transformations from the show.

MD-FML



This MDF monstrosity certainly made a statement


The room had previously been a pretty standard bedroom

Arabian nightmares



You can’t fault the theme, that’s for sure

Red or dead



At least the floor could double as a chessboard

It is certainly a bold transformation from how it previously looked

Bedder believe it



There is something very uninviting about the metal spikes surrounding the bed


And you have exposed wiring and a butt to boot

Branching out



Because who doesn’t want trees dangling from their bedroom ceiling?


The room is complete with some very questionable bedding

Charlie not



It may have been acceptable in the 90s but it certainly isn’t now

Feeling blue



It’s fair to say that Carol Smillie knew a thing or two about colour coordination


And what better way to finish off a living room than with two rubber rings

Beach please



Why bother with a sofa when you have a perfectly good deck chair to hand?

Cushion the blow



Would you like some sofa with those cushions?

Shoot that poison arrow



Cupid’s bow has landed directly in this couple’s bedroom

Tumbleweed



This western themed room is certainly not the best

The room appears to have shrunk down from its former size

Violet violation



A lifetime of backache faces whoever owns this step-seat monstrosity

Throwing shapes



Thank goodness there’s some beer ready for the reveal, that’s all I’m saying

Orange you glad this isn’t yours?



You’d have trouble getting a good night’s kip here

In other DIY news, this proud DIY fanatic has shown off the new “wing” of their house – and it only cost them a couple of quid.

And this woman turns small cupboard in her one-bed flat into a sleeping area for her stepdaughter using B&M & The Range bargains.

Plus this mum revamped her stairs into an incredible waterfall mural after her 11-year-old ruined the carpet and it only cost £21.

Changing Rooms starts on Wednesday, August 18 at 8pm on Channel 4.
