Challenge 1
In the first challenge for this year’s House Rules, the teams were tasked with transforming a tired Gold Coast penthouse into a luxury Miami-style sanctuary. Defined by curvaceous Art Deco design with a tropical twist, vibrant gelato colours and a splash of glam, this sultry style is easier to achieve than you might think.
Sexy Art Deco curves
A beachside city with a balmy climate, Miami experienced rapid growth in the 1920s Art Deco era. As such, this architectural style has come to be a defining featuring of the Miami-style aesthetic. Get the look in your home with plenty of sexy curves in your furniture and décor selections.

The colour of Cuba
Situated in southern Florida, Miami has a large Cuban population. The immigrants brought bright gelato colours, salsa dancing and sex appeal to the city. Infuse plenty of playfulness into your Miami interior with muted gelato tones.

Cosmopolitan cool
Incredibly cosmopolitan and full of culture, glamorous glints of gold, marble and mirror are also trademark of the style. Master the Miami look with a few glitzy accent pieces.

Tropical surrender
Basking in a sub-tropical climate, palm-tree prints and indoor plants are an essential of the Miami style. Combine your curves and colour with plenty of luscious leaves
