When handing the keys of your home over to a group of interior designers you have to trust that they'll be able to competently execute your vision... however it doesn't always end up that way.
In fact, there's probably few things that are worse than telling a designer you'd like a little more colour in your home, only to discover that your hard-earned property has been decorated in clashing shades of bright yellow and blue.
Which is exactly what happened for one couple on BBC show Your Home In Their Hands.

One episode saw couple John and Rachel Geoghegan hand their keys over to interior designers for a makeover back in 2015, with John's reaction to their yellow and turquoise room going viral.
John bluntly told presenter Celia Sawyer: "You're supposed to be able to go to sleep in a bedroom and it looks like a kids' play area.
"I think it looks horrendous it doesn't look anything like a bedroom."

When Rachel hinted the bedroom might grow on them, John hit back: "Fungus grows and that's horrible."
Tell us how you really feel.
It turns out the sunrise yellow bedroom wasn't the only thing that had left John horrified, with a recently shared clip from later on in the episode showing his worries about what the rest of his home could end up looking like.
Seated on a random carousel in the middle of nowhere with his family - because why wouldn't this be the ideal setting for a TV interview - John could be seen in low spirits as he told his wife that he regretted signing up for the show.

"The house is a mess," he ranted. "It'll be my home in my hands as soon as they go because they haven't listened to a word we asked for."
Still not over the bright yellow wallpaper in his bedroom, he continued: "It'll be the most expensive backing paper that anybody's put on any house because that will be painted this week.
"It's an absolute mess, it's disgusting."
As John continued ranting on about the state of his new bedroom, a downcast Rachel tried to inject some positivity into the conversation suggesting the kitchen could 'be a bit better'.

However the thought of another room at the mercy of the designers set John off all over again, as he responded: "It can't be any worse can it. It they get that as badly wrong as they've got the rest of it, god help us.
"It's a mess and I wouldn't recommend anybody do it."
Despite his negative outlook, John clearly had reason to be concerned as back at the house viewers could see interior designer Layla turning their kitchen into a whirlwind of bright wallpaper, blue tiles and pink paint.

Looks like things certainly can - and did - get a lot worse for John and Rachel then.
