In the series premiere of HGTV’s Divided by Design, married interior designers Ray and Eilyn Jimenez go head-to-head, offering competing renovation visions to a prospective client. The couple, who run separate design firms, show their distinct styles as they bid for a $150,000 project to overhaul a home’s entryway, kitchen, child’s bedroom, and living/dining area. While Ray favors a modern eclectic approach, Eilyn blends old-world charm with timeless functionality.
In this episode, we meet homeowner David, who is both the client and the contractor. He and his wife, Bella, have conflicting design preferences, with David favoring a dark, masculine style and Bella leaning towards a bright, tropical vibe. The chosen designer will face the challenge of merging these contrasting tastes, incorporating rich wood tones and light, airy furniture to create a space that satisfies both David and Bella.
The episode, airing on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, at 9:00 PM ET/PT, marks the beginning of a nine-episode season, focusing on the professional rivalry and creative process of this dynamic duo in the hyper-competitive Miami housing market.
