Dream Home Australia reveals are officially done and dusted!
Each week for six weeks, the six teams were split into two groups and assigned a house to renovate. Within those groups, each team was assigned one to two rooms to renovate.
At the end of each week, the judges were brought in to review each room, and each judge provided a score out of 10. And at the end of the six weeks, all scores had been calculated together and the top three teams moved on to the grand finale – this ended up being Lara and Peter, Rhys and Liam and Taeler and Elle.
If you missed the reveals or just want a closer look at the incredible renovations, continue reading to see images of each week’s reveals as well as a breakdown of the judges’ comments and the team’s respective socres.

Belrose House: Lara & Peter
Week 6
Brad and Mel’s staircase up to their living room was highly praised by the judges. Sadly, the living room itself was heavily critqued and called “disappointing”. The judges also didn’t love the couple’s bedroom.
As for Jacinta and Jordan, they got some stellar feedback this week. In fact, Simon said of their facade, “it’s the best facade I’ve seen in the entire series.” And Lara said the couple “nailed” the entryway.
And finally, Rhys and Liam received some mixed feedback. The judges liked elements of their bedroom and bathroom but disliked other elements; they called both of Rhys and Liam’s rooms “disjointed”.
Judges scores:
Brad and Mel: 20.5/30
Rhys and Liam: 21/30
Jacinta and Jordan: 29/30
Punchbowl House: Jacinta & Jordan
Week 6
The judges loved Lara and Peter’s bedroom calling it “luxurious” however their bathroom slightly missed the mark, with Rosie saying that they’d committed a few design “faux pas” in that room.
As for Taeler and Elle, the judges loved their living room. However, the judges didn’t love the stairwell wall Taeler and Elle decorated with group money without talking to their team. Luckily, the judges said it was a “common area” and wouldn’t affect Taeler and Elle’s score. What did affect their score though was their bedroom , which the judges felt was more of a playroom rather than a child’s bedroom.
Finally, the judges felt that Jordan and Jacinta’s entryway was a misuse of space and off brief; they did like the facade Jordan and Jacinta created though.
Judges scores:
Taeler and Elle: 24/30
Hannah and Jonny: 22/30
Lara and Peter: 24.5/30
Belrose House: Lara & Peter
Week 5
Rhys and Liam really knocked it out of the park this week. The judges had little to no criticism for the boys’ kitchen, laundry and bathroom.
The judges also loved Brad and Mel’s master bedroom (even though the couple accidentally burnt the trim on the custom-made bed) and Jordan and Jacinta’s living room. However, they were underwhelmed by Jordan and Jacinta’s ensuite.
Judges scores:
Brad and Mel: 25/30
Rhys and Liam: 28/30
Jacinta and Jordan: 25.5/30
Punchbowl House: Jacinta & Jordan
Week 5
After stressing all week about the decision to put a backlit marble wall in their dining room, Lara and Peter became very emotional when Simon, Lana and Rosie loved it and described it as a “wow moment in the space”.
As for Hannah and Jonny, their living room and ensuite received a mixed reaction from the judges; Simon especially thought that while the living room was cosy, it wasn’t entirely functional. And sisters Taeler and Elle received their lowest score to date after the judges weren’t particulary impressed by their kitchen, butler’s pantry, laundry and powder room.
Judges scores:
Taeler and Elle: 19/30
Hannah and Jonny: 24/30
Lara and Peter: 23.5/30
Deception Bay House: Liam & Rhys
Week 4
Both Brad and Mel and Hannah and Jonny were praised by the judges this week for their respective nursery, bathroom, façade and downstairs bathroom; in fact, hardly any notes were given out!
However, Jacinta and Jordan received fierce criticism. The judges said their entry foyer was cluttered and overall, a “missed opportunity”. Not to mention, Lana called their bedroom “bland”.
Judges scores:
Brad and Mel: 25.5/30
Hannah and Jonny: 28/30
Jacinta and Jordan: 19/30
Coorparoo House: Hannah & Jonny
Week 4
There wasn’t much negative feedback for the three teams working on Hannah and Jonny’s house.
Lara and Peter, Rhys and Liam and Taeler and Elle’s work was all well-received by the judges this week; the only thing that was mentioned was that Taeler and Elle could’ve perhaps put more storage in the entrance foyer.
Judges scores:
Taeler and Elle: 26/30
Rhys and Liam: 27/30
Lara and Peter: 28.5/30
Deception Bay House: Liam & Rhys
Week 3
All three judges loved what Hannah and Jonny did with the kitchen, calling the skylight a “standout feature”. However, they weren’t too impressed with the couple’s guest bedroom.
Lana loved Jacinta and Jordan’s living room but Simon wasn’t a fan, saying it felt cramped especially because of the large couch. Simon did like their laundry though, as did Lana and Rosie.
As for Brad and Mel’s dining room, the judges liked elements of it but overall felt there was “too much” timber in the space. And Lana and Simon disagreed again when it came to the bathroom. Lana loved it whereas Simon thought Brad and Mel’s decision to put the bath on a stage was strange.
Judges scores:
Brad and Mel: 22/30
Hannah and Jonny: 24.5/30
Jacinta and Jordan: 23/30
Coorparoo House: Hannah & Jonny
Week 3
Sisters Taeler and Elle received a perfect score this week for their bathroom and dining space.
Lana said they’d created “the best dining room to date”, and she and Rosie endlessly praised the double skylight and the floor-to-ceiling tiled shower in the bathroom. Not to mention, Simon loved the double mirror and double sink Taeler and Elle installed.
The judges were also impressed with Rhys and Liam’s living room and laundry, calling the styling in the living “impressive” and the layout in the laundry “generous”.
And lastly, the judges were amazed with Lara and Peter’s kitchen. Simon even called it “very cool”. Sadly, they missed the mark with the guest bedroom. Lana, Rosie and Simon all agreed it was too much of a “sensory overload” because of the clashing horizontal and vertical lines.
Judges scores:
Taeler and Elle: 30/30
Rhys and Liam: 27/30
Lara and Peter: 26.5/30
Northcote House: Brad & Mel
Week 2
The judges certainly didn’t hold back this week. They harshly critiqued Jacinta and Jordan’s work on the laundry, saying it was “disconnected” from the kitchen. However, the judges all loved what Jacinta and Jordan did with the master suite, especially the architectural features on the ceiling and the Venetian plaster.
For Hannah and Johnny, judges Lana, Rosie and Simon all felt like the hallway was “too much” but loved what the couple did with the kid’s bedroom.
And while the judges praised Taeler and Elle’s choice of porch tiles and new pathway, they weren’t too keen on the bedroom the sisters did up…
Judges scores:
Elle and Taeler: 26/30
Hannah and Jonny: 22.5/30
Jacinta and Jordan: 25.5/30
Watsonia House: Elle & Taeler
Week 2
Ultimately, the judges were blown away by what Peter and Lara did with the landscaping and grand hallway; they practically had no feedback.
The judges also loved what Brad and Mel did with the master bedroom; however, Simon wasn’t a fan of the wardrobes not having doors.
And as for Rhys and Liam’s ensuite and study, Lana, Rosie and Simon weren’t impressed at all…
Judges scores:
Rhys and Liam: 20/30
Lara and Peter: 26.5/30
Brad and Mel: 25.5/30
Northcote House: Brad & Mel
Week 1
At Brad and Mel’s house, the judges praised Hannah and Jonny’s living room for its spaciousness and large sofa, with Simon highlighting the fireplace as a great focal point. Their second room, Bennett’s bedroom, was described as epic by Simon, with the judges loving the built-in desk and arch.
For sisters Elle and Taeler, they tackled Spencer’s bedroom and the main bathroom. The judges appreciated the bedroom’s design and rose ceiling feature, but Lana questioned if it was edgy enough. They liked the bathroom’s storage and double sinks but suggested it could have been divided into two bathrooms or a separate toilet.
Jacinta and Jordan’s kitchen impressed with its layout and island bench, but Simon disliked the colour palette and different cupboard colours. He found the dining area boring, and Rosie saw a missed opportunity for built-in shelving.
Judges scores:
Elle and Taeler: 24.5/30
(Lana Taylor: 8.5, Rosie Morley: 8, Simon Cohen: 8)
Hannah and Jonny: 23.5/30
(Lana Taylor: 8, Rosie Morley: 7.5, Simon Cohen: 8)

(Lana Taylor: 8, Rosie Morley: 7, Simon Cohen: 8)
Watsonia House: Elle & Taeler
Week 1
At Elle’s Watsonia house, the judges first reviewed Rhys and Liam’s dining room and kitchen. They praised the island bench and invisible cooktop, loving the curved wall to the butler’s pantry, but Lana felt an additional sink and dishwasher were needed. Despite this, the judge’s felt they did an amazing job and the brother’s won the first week.
Next, in Lara and Peter’s living room and guest bedroom, the judges appreciated the new living space and its colour palette, though they found it cramped due to the large TV. They loved the bedroom, with Lana highlighting the curved walls and ceiling, and Rosie admiring the luxurious joinery.
For Brad and Mel’s bedroom and bathroom, the judges had mixed feelings. They liked the warm colour palette of the bedroom but found the bathroom’s style unimpressive and some features outdated.
Judges scores:
Rhys and Liam: 26/30
(Lana Taylor: 8.5, Rosie Morley: 9, Simon Cohen: 8.5)
Lara and Peter: 22.5/30
(Lana Taylor: 8, Rosie Morley: 7.5, Simon Cohen: 7)
