The first challenge, with the theme “Romance”, involved the decoration of the master bedroom. Teams were given 15 hours to complete the challenge. Impressing the judges with their polished and sleek design style, Yvette and Sonya won this challenge.

The second challenge involved the designing of the bathroom. Several themes from various eras ranging from "the roaring 20s", and "the Hollywood 50s" to "the groovy 60s" were given, from which teams had to choose one. Teams were given 12 hours to complete the challenge. Injecting their unique personalities into their design, beauty queens Ines and Jennifer won this challenge.

This challenge came with a twist, when pairs Yvette and Sonya had spilt their prizes with fellow competitors , Nara and Pearlyn.

The fourth challenge involved embodying the style of an iconic artist, drawing inspiration from their work, and designing the living room. For this challenge, teams must work with their neighbours, and decide on the work allocation. Teams were given 15 hours to complete the challenge. This challenge ended with a pleasant surprise, when it was announced that there would be no elimination this week. Adam and Adrian should have been sent but they were saved by Jamie.

The fifth challenge was for teams to work on the garden. Teams had to consider including elements of privacy, relaxation and enjoyment when designing the garden. Also, their gardens' designs had to allow for growing of fruits and vegetables. Teams were given 17 hours to complete the challenge. Given their close shave last week, Adam and Adrian sprung back and won the challenge, where they enjoyed dinner and drinks with Ines and Jennifer (of whom they selected), as well as having additional funds for the next challenge - $2,000 taken from Deankie and Tiara's budget.

The sixth challenge involved teams creating a family room, where children appeared as "clients" to give teams a design brief and join them for shopping. The children also helped the judges during deliberation. The family room must creatively cater for 3 generations, and exemplify the whole idea of a family. Teams were given 15 hours to complete the challenge. Despite having a budget smaller than the others, Deankie and Tiara stood up to the challenge and emerged victorious in this challenge.

The seventh challenge involved teams creating a guest bedroom "fit for a queen", under a budget of $2,000. At the start of the show, teams were given a cryptic clue, to which the answer was April and Jen's room. Pairs Yvette and Sonya, Pearlyn and Nara found the "treasure" - Laurence's personal collection. Teams were given 15 hours to complete the challenge. Both Deankie and Tiara emerged as winners of this challenge,winning their third challenge in the show,with Pearlyn and Nara sharing the winning title with them, with no pairs walking away from the show.

This week's challenge is the most intimidating challenge to date, as not only did the teams have to showcase their personality through their designs of the kitchen and dining areas, they had to complement their designs with personal items that are delivered from home. With all the teams stepping up to the game and delivering possibly their best designs to date, the judges truly had the most difficult decision on their hands thus far. Destiny waits as the finalists will be revealed next week.
