- Ten celebrity couples will embark on an unprecedented challenge
- Among the challenges: designing a 30 m² loft, renovating homes devastated by the DANA storms in Valencia, improving several rooms in a student residence, or modernising businesses.
Hosted by Patricia Montero, with Lorenzo Castillo and Marta Riopérez as judges.
The talent show DecoMasters, produced by RTVE in collaboration with Shine Iberia (Banijay Iberia), will prove that “if you can dream it, you can decorate it”. The married couple Isa Pantoja and Asraf Beno; Mar Flores and her son Carlo Costanzia; the pairs of friends Antonia Dell’Atte and María Zurita, Eduardo Casanova and Canco Rodríguez, Eduardo Navarrete and La Terre, Raquel Meroño and Belén López, and King Bru and Andrea; the siblings Samantha and Colate Vallejo-Nágera; Lucía Dominguín and her daughter Palito Dominguín; and twins Jesús and Daniel Oviedo, known as Gemeliers, are the ten celebrity pairs taking part in a never-before-seen television challenge that will revolutionise and democratise the world of interior design and decoration.
DecoMasters
The celebrities will face spectacular interior design challenges, transforming all kinds of real spaces for real clients. Contestants must become true decorators, capable of bringing clients’ dreams to life by adapting to their tastes and needs, while demonstrating creativity, talent, sensitivity and style. But imagination alone will not be enough: they must design within each client’s budget and make the most of available resources. Responsibility will be key, with a strong emphasis on recycling and giving objects a second life.
Actress and presenter Patricia Montero will serve as master of ceremonies, while the couples’ projects will be overseen by two judges: the award-winning interior designer Lorenzo Castillo and Hearst decoration magazine editor Marta Riopérez. They will guide contestants every step of the way, offer valuable advice and be uncompromising in their evaluations. Renowned figures from the world of decoration will also take part in each challenge. Each proposal must combine functionality and beauty, conveying authenticity, quality and an emotional vision that reflects the designer’s essence.
With the aim of making decoration accessible to everyone, creative and affordable tips and ideas will be shared so that anyone, regardless of experience or resources, can find inspiration and transform spaces through small, stylish changes.
Leading professionals from the sector will join the jury
In each episode, prominent professionals from the industry will participate as guest judges: interior designers Marta de la Rica, Tomás Alía, Pepe Leal, Patricia Bustos, Germán Álvarez, Alejandra Pombo, Mercedes Valdenebro, Mercedes Peralta, Erico Navazo and Manuel Espejo; Italian-born architect and interior designer Teresa Sapey; architect and interior designer Nacho García Vinuesa; building engineer and interior designer Sigfrido Serra; artist and designer Jaime Hayón; landscape designer Fernando Martos; mural artist Johina García-Concheso; and organisation and cleaning influencer Begoña Pérez, known as La Ordenatriz.
DecoMasters: prize and format
Only one pair will win the title of DecoMasters and receive a €50,000 prize to donate to an NGO.
Each programme will consist of two parts. The first will be a team challenge in which contestants are divided into two groups to carry out a jointly selected design. First, each pair will create its own proposal to meet a client’s brief. Then, each team will have 10 minutes to decide which proposal is the best. The creators of the winning concept will become project leaders and assign tasks to their teammates. The main objective will be to meet the owners’ needs with a functional proposal that reflects their personality and stays within budget. After two days of intense work, the jury will evaluate the transformation, and the losing team will face the elimination challenge. In this round, each pair will develop its own project over two days for new clients. At the end of each programme, the least successful pair will leave the competition.
Throughout the process, couples will have access to a supply tent stocked with all the necessary materials, which they may visit as often as they like. During eliminations, any pair needing extra materials not available in the tent must purchase them during the so-called Deco Express Run, while the rest continue working. At all times, they will be assisted by a team of professionals, who will only intervene in tasks involving risk.
Transforming all kinds of real spaces
Participants will face a wide variety of challenges, in both homes and businesses. They will transform everything from living rooms to small, private spaces such as bathrooms. They will design children’s bedrooms and explore open-plan concepts where living room, dining room and kitchen merge into a single space. They will work on terraces designed for barbecues or living rooms in country houses, and even improve coastal apartments affected by humidity and excessive sunlight.
They will also renovate businesses in need of modernisation, such as a hair salon and a barbershop, two bars with their own personality, and two beach bars on the Costa del Sol. They will create functional and welcoming bedrooms in a student residence and take on a 30 m² loft, where limitations must become the main attraction.
DecoMasters also connects with the spirit of solidarity that swept across Spain after the tragic DANA storms of October 2024, with a challenge in which teams will join forces to rehabilitate two homes devastated by flooding. They will also bring joy to children attending the Madrid headquarters of Fundación Balia por la Infancia, which supports children and teenagers at risk of social exclusion.
The programme is sponsored by IKEA.
