I think Antonio should have gone home this week. He didn't achieve anything the designer at IKEA couldn't have and probably for alot less. It had no personality except for some purple walls but even they didn't contribute to the whole design. because they weren't part of a design realised as a whole.The analagous color scheme needed the punch of a color across from it onthe color wheel. In any case the lounge is poorly laid out, it needed a table and chairs where poeple can brainstorm and show what they are trying to propose. No designer could look at that room and see it finished, it was still lacking so much. On the other hand Lonni's room was great and because the headboard couldn't be installed she was sent home. If she had put the mirror on the side over the bed it would have been great and the slab of wood could have replaced the mirror as a statement piece. Her design was so much more thought out and realised that it is hard to see how Antonio won, with a room that ended up looking like a dorm room using mismatched furniture they brought from home. Lonni was robbed and I am a designer with twenty years experience.
