Help! I hate my house - Shoreham

Linda Barker faces her biggest challenge yet, with a mismatched living room.

Joining forces with Sven Wombwell and his gardening team, Linda helps end the Help! I hate my house series with a bang!

Julia and Simon West have lived in their Shoreham beachside house for the last 10 years. The property needs updating, but after carrying out extensive work on a previous property, they’ve had neither the time nor energy to get to work on this one.

The good news is that Linda is on hand to completely transform their disastrous living room, taking inspiration from the sixties design of the house and bringing together old and new furnishings that will sit perfectly in the finished room – it’s one not to be missed!
