Detailed parts of the Celebrity Big Brother eye were placed all around the main parts of the house including the kitchen, living area, dining area and bathroom. the living area now had more comfortable seating unlike the black and green sofas for the civilians. In the bathroom the colour scheme had been changed to gold with the shower surrounded by a golden cover for the celebrities. In the garden the previous sunbed area had been moved over and was replaced by a seating area next to the pool. Coloured lines were also spaced throughout the garden making it look less bland than what it did look like in the last series. The bedroom wallpaper was changed to an orange city skyline with a new fluffy carpet and one extra bed for Gary Busey.
