What to expect on Ugliest House in America Season 8
The seventh season of the show wrapped up with “The Mishmash Hodgepodge,” a property in Vershire, Vermont, winning. HGTV was not wrong when they called the house a “three-story cacophony of color and dreadful design decisions.” The owners, Brooklyn and Dylan, received a $150,000 makeover on their 3,344-square-foot home in Vershire, Vermont.
This season begins with host, comedian Retta, travelling across the USA to tour four houses selected as the most ugly. After having identified the most dysfunctionally designed home, HGTV’s interior designer Alison Victoria will get to do an unbelievable top-to-bottom makeover, valued at $150,000.
Before And After Renovation
From the first season of Ugliest House in America, designer Alison has handled every final makeover on the show. She works on keeping the personality of the houses but also fixes the function. The designer is also known for taking houses that are termed to be unsellable and transforming them into modern dream spaces.
Prior to the renovations, the original conditions of the houses suffered from dysfunctional design at every turn. This makes the pre-renovation eyesore feel more like a haunted funhouse. In addition, the house that gets selected as the most questionable home design in the country gets a jaw-dropping $150,000 renovation.
Based on Alison’s past reveals, here’s what to expect: Ditch the circus: Say goodbye to monkey cabinets and concrete couches. Expect warm woods, neutral tones, and furniture that’s actually cushioned. In addition, she will fix the flow: That sunken pool-style living room and wonky stair railing will be brought up to code and made livable. Furthermore, she is also most likely to keep some unique elements of the home. From the show Aesthetically Misguided, dysfunctional designed houses are given an unimaginable transformation.
The first episode of the Ugliest House in America Season 8 premired on Monday, 20th July. The second episod will be dropping on the 27th of July. This season will be wild, full of exciting adventure in those ugly houses, as we get to see the before and after transformation step by step. Hope you guys are ready!
