Series details

The six teams are challenged to transform the interiors and front facades of each other's homes. Each house is split over two rounds. In the first round, three teams are allocated to a home (that does not belong to them) and are given two and a half weeks to renovate the rooms they are allocated based on a design brief given by the homeowners. In the second round, each team must renovate the remaining rooms in each house in seven days. Once all rounds are complete, the top scoring three teams overall will move onto the final round, which is backyard renovations, where the highest scoring team will receive $100,000 off their mortgage.

Reception

An early review from David Knox of TV Tonight said the format isn't original enough and can be easily compared to House Rules or The Block . [30] An article from Yahoo! stated viewers also found it similar to House Rules, however viewers did enjoy the series. [31] Ben Pobjie from The Sydney Morning Herald wrote, "But Dream Home is a kinder and gentler enterprise than that show, emphasising dreams over property values at every turn. Here the two-person teams are actually renovating each other's houses, giving lots of opportunity for tearful "we just want to give them the home of their dreams" speeches.". [32]
