Piers Taylor and Robert Jamison deliver ingenious micro-budget ideas to people in need of life-changing transformations to their existing homes.

Privacy is the problem Chris and Claire need solving at their quirky home in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Their former post office has floor-to-ceiling shop windows and is so overlooked by passers-by that they never use the best rooms. Robert Jamison has a radical proposal - remove the ceiling above the shop and create a stunning double-height space they will never want to leave. But can it all be done for just 脗拢10k? To help with privacy, Robert shows how clever choices with paint colours on the walls inside can shield them from the world outside. But when Chris and Claire get excited by a stunning bronze staircase, can Robert possibly deliver something just as good with a stack of 脗拢2 bike racks?

Like people across the country, Mark and Linda live in a narrow house which is too dark and feels too small. It is up to Piers Taylor to reveal tricks that can transform it into a bright and inspiring home. Piers takes them to a stunning terraced house which is a masterclass in making the most of available light, from staircases to skylights, wall coverings to kitchens. Then it is off to a well-kept secret of the design world to show how to create a bespoke seating area with beautiful timbers that others just throw away! But with a limited budget, will Mark and Linda keep their eye on the big changes that will make the difference, or get carried away and blow it completely?
