How Not to Decorate

Like a homestead version of What Not to Wear, How Not to Decorate takes on some of the nation's most style-free homes and tries to put them right.

The flamboyant home design gurus Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan, as seen on Trading Up and House Call, are the decor doctors on hand to gasp at the questionable taste of the people they visit.

Offering simple design solutions to correct the most unforgivable home faux pas, Colin and Justin throw themselves in, making no effort to conceal their disgust at what they are confronted with.

In one home, a colour scheme that is on the adventurous side prompts the following reaction from Justin: "Hit me over the head with a techni-colour dream coat and call me Joseph!"

It is the duo's job to pair sophisticated design ideas with the homeowners' often more wacky tendencies, marrying a happy medium of personal taste with design ideas that work.
