anyone watching the Block

THE Block’s controversial couple Ronnie and Georgia Caceres have been forced to defend themselves after being accused of “stealing” the winning design of their children’s room from a professional interior design firm.

The Perth couple have now responded to the allegations, telling Woman’s Day: “It’s tall poppy syndrome. It felt like we were ganged up on!”

Ronnie and Georgia won the kids bedroom challenge last week, scoring the first 10 of this year’s series.

And in an explosive episode this week, fellow contestant Jason will accuse the couple of ripping off the design of the room after he was sent a photo of a room style by Melbourne interior design business Norsu Interiors.

A photo on the business’ Instagram shows a kid’s room they’ve recently styled — and it’s very similar to the one presented by Ronnie and Georgia Caceres on the show.

Along with the same rose gold bed, the couple also used the same wall prints, toys and blush canopy used by the business.

I don't personally see the problem.

Isn't that where you're supposed to get our inspiration from? Look at photos on decorator magazines and copy them? If Norsu don't want people using their ideas, don't make them public.

why wouldn't the show work? you think they come up with all those ideas all on their own?
In 15 yrs of painting the most common method of decorating was for the bored housewife to show me a picture and say 'I want that'.

What Channel is this on? What is the basic concept of the show, please?

I have watched a few "interior design" type shows on Foxtel .... they have been British though.  I wonder whether it is a similar concept ...  I really enjoyed the British series.

Here is a link to the Great Interior Design Challenge that I have watched.

Ah, right.  So a little bit like that "Selling Houses Australia" where PROFESSIONALS help people but this show lets amateurs do it (with money from Channel 9).

...

I usually record this type of show so that I can fast-fwd through all the chatter.  Grin
