What is Divided by Design about?
In Divided by Design, audiences will see Ray and Eilyn Jimenez, a married couple with differing design philosophies, competing against each other in renovation challenges. Each episode features a new client and project, and Ray and Eilyn give their ideas with the hope of winning the job.
Only one designer will be chosen for each project, and only the work of the chosen designer will be followed from concept to final reveal. This format allows viewers to see not just the final product, but also the creative thinking that gets to each design proposal.
What does season 1 have in store?
The first episode of Divided by Design sets the stage with a high-stakes renovation project featuring a $150,000 budget. The makeover includes an entryway, kitchen, child's bedroom, and living and dining area for clients David and Bella. David is a fan of dark, masculine design, while Bella likes her spaces bright and tropical. The episode will show how the selected designer balances these contrasting styles.
In addition to the clients' projects, Divided by Design will feature updates on Ray and Eilyn's home renovation. The couple's in-house project has been postponed, with its complications being another aspect that will make the program much more interesting. Viewers will be able to see how these real-life designers encounter real-life issues and triumphs through their renovation.
The series will feature interviews with clients and behind-the-scenes peeks into the design process. It provides an all-rounded view of how each design is developed—from the initial consultation to the final reveal.
Where and when to watch?
Divided by Design will air on Tuesdays at 9/8c on HGTV starting August 20. Interested viewers can watch the series at the same time on Max. The show promises dramatic home overhauls and, even more thrilling, a creative competition between Ray and Eilyn.
Viewers will see their distinct design styles come to life, transforming spaces in unexpected ways.
