Renowned architect and design expert George Clarke is set to return to Channel 4 with George Clarke’s Kitchen vs. Garden, a captivating new series that promises to redefine the way we approach refurbishments in the two most impactful spaces in the home.
The series comes from Plum Pictures, the independent production company behind the hugely successful George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces.
George will be joined by acclaimed garden designer Luke Millard (DIY SOS). Across the series, George and Luke will offer their decades of experience to homeowners facing design dilemmas. They will personally design two different design solutions: one will see the majority of the homeowners budget spent in the kitchen, the other will see the large lump sum spent in the garden. George will help participants navigate the tricky decision of where best to allocate their renovation budget to create spaces that work with their lifestyle. The homeowners then have to decide where to put their money and which of the two designs will work for them. Throughout the renovation, George and Luke will ensure that their budgets work hard to create spaces that are both functional and beautiful.
Each episode of ‘Kitchen vs. Garden’ will feature a new household on the brink of embarking on a major renovation journey. From outdated kitchens in need of a modern makeover to neglected gardens longing for a breath of fresh air, George, Luke and their teams will offer a bespoke and innovative solution to make homes look and function better.
George Clarke said, "This is a show that will inspire and help viewers to see the space they have in their homes differently. I know that the decisions involved in refurbishing them can be overwhelming so I'm excited to lend my expertise to help our renovators, and the viewers at home, to make the most of their spaces and create environments they'll love for years to come."
Clemency Green adds, “George Clarke’s Kitchen vs. Garden promises to blend innovation, creativity, and practical advice, as George and Luke share their experience, knowledge and enthusiasm with the families undertaking big renovations. Viewers can expect to follow the transformation of ordinary spaces into beautiful and extraordinary living areas.”
George Clarke’s Kitchen vs. Garden was commissioned for Channel 4 by Senior Commissioning Editor Clemency Green with Head of Lifestyle Jo Street. Executive Producers for Plum Pictures are Gill Wilson and Will Daws, and Series Producer is Stephen Leigh.
George Clarke’s Kitchen vs. Garden starts Wednesday 13 August 8pm on Channel 4.
