The infamous 90s and 00s home-DIY show Changing Rooms is returning to screens after a 16-year hiatus.

Davina McCall will host the reboot with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen returning as the interior-designer-in-chief.

The renowned home-DIY series will see two sets of homeowners in the same neighbourhood attempt to renovate a room in each other’s house while battling against the clock.

While they may not share the same tastes for textures and colours, each opposing homeowner is completely in charge of creating a new design for the chosen room. What could possibly go wrong?

The creative participants will be helped along the way by two teams of DIY experts and decorators, with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen (LLB) captaining one team while a second interior designer with a conflicting style captains the other.

Packed full of DIY and design tips and tricks, Changing Rooms will teach viewers how to upscale and redesign outdated and unloved corners of the home on a budget.

Host Davina McCall said: “I’m so excited to be presenting Changing Rooms. It’s a classic! It’s the perfect time to bring it back, everyone is going DIY and decor mad! I can’t wait to see all the amazing transformations - I might even get stuck in myself if I’m allowed to be let loose with a paint brush!”

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen added: “There’s no room for beige in our homes and, just as it was in the 90s, Changing Rooms is once more the homestyle antidote to Britain’s blues (and greys and taupes, and even Magnolia).

“It’s taken quite a lot of coaxing to get me under the Changing Rooms banner once more, but nothing like as much coaxing as it’s going to take for me to squeeze those leather trousers back on."
