| 20:00 | Kirstie and Phil's Love It or List It: Brilliant Builds | Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer interrogate the cardinal sin of wasted space, as they look back at two builds where smart solutions, practical thinking and Kirstie's ethos of 'look at what you have before you add to it' helped save the day. In Wolverhampton, Kirstie and Phil stepped into a domestic deadlock. Gordon and Suky lived with their three children in a tired four-bed home. But despite having space to spare, the awkward layout and poorly defined rooms left Suky desperate to leave, but Gordon was convinced Kirstie could fix it with a clever redesign. Armed with an £80,000 Love It budget, Kirstie re-imagined the space, while Phil had £650,000 to tempt them with airy alternatives. But did they stay or leave, and have they stuck to their decision? And in the idyllic Lancashire village of Scorton, the duo helped Joanne and Nick end a seven-year stalemate: their tiny three-bed chalet bungalow had been overwhelmed by two growing kids, endless clutter and poorly functioning spaces. Joanne loved the home and community, but Nick dreamt of more space for the family. With a £70,000 Love It budget, Kirstie attempted to maximise every square inch of their teeny tiny home, while Phil had £550,000 to tempt them with bigger alternatives | |
